How do I find the best car rental deals in Chelmsford with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare rates, offers and providers, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your Chelmsford car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you'll save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chelmsford?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related rules to bear in mind before reserving your Chelmsford wheels. If you're a younger motorist, many rental outlets will charge an extra fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. This size of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between outlets. Take your time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Chelmsford?
Renting a car in Chelmsford is a cinch. Usually, all that's required is your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. After settling on the perfect set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to ensure there are no further requirements prior to pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Chelmsford?
If you get behind the wheel in Chelmsford, you'll need to stick to the left. Note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider choosing a car with automatic transmission for a smoother motoring experience.
What is the cheapest car rental in Chelmsford?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental vehicle in Chelmsford was just $54. The second lowest was $62 per day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Chelmsford?
Whether you have plans to hang around Chelmsford or explore what's beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Chelmsford car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Chelmsford, it'd be wise to check the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Chelmsford?
Start your road trip the right way by selecting Expedia's collision protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency support. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental desk to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Chelmsford ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Chelmsford with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in England, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
