Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Essen?
Rental cars in Essen had a low daily rate of just $144 within the past seven days. At prices like this, you'll be zooming around in your own ride with cash to spare.
Can I rent a car from Antwerp Intl. Airport (ANR)?
Arrive at Antwerp Intl. Airport (ANR) and then head for Hertz or Sixt, a quick commute away. You'll be exploring Essen in your own set of wheels in next to no time.
What happens if I need to cancel my Essen car reservation?
Good news! You should be eligible for all of your money back if you notify us more than six hours prior to the scheduled pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations qualify for a refund though, so you may want to scan the car's rental agreement.
Where can I go on a road trip from Essen?
Essen is full of surprises, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Book a set of wheels and take to the road to see what's in the surrounding area. Here are some great options:

  • Bruges is approximately 55 miles from Essen. Famous attractions like Bruges Market Square should be at the top of your list while you're in town.
  • Located 45 miles away, Brussels is also popular with travelers. Set aside time to take in La Grand Place while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this buzzing city.
  • Get out into the great outdoors and take in the serenity at Tour Romaine. It's 140 miles from Essen.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Essen with Expedia?
Whatever class of wheels you're looking for, Expedia will help you track down the best deal. Just compare the offers from top rental suppliers and select the option that suits you. Like to drive away with even bigger savings? Bundle your Essen car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essen?
Rental vehicle rules in Essen require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental providers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars available to young people too. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Essen?
Before you can take the wheel in Essen, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card. If you don't take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Essen?
If you don't have much experience driving overseas, you'll probably be happy to hear that you'll be sticking to the right in Essen. Traffic rules and conditions will differ though, so drive accordingly.
What is the cheapest car rental in Essen?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the lowest daily rate was $144. The second lowest price for rental vehicles in Essen was $153 a 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 Essen?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-vacation. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and find a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find an Essen car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Essen, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Essen?
We recommend adding collision damage protection while booking your Essen car rental with Expedia. This protects your ride against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24/7 emergency help, you can rest easy knowing you'll be covered in the event of a mishap. It's easy to opt in to this plan while reserving your rental vehicle.
Can I drive in Essen with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Belgium, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
