How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southend-on-Sea?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Southend-on-Sea is 21. An extra fee for young drivers will apply, so check before you book and take into account any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some providers will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may vary between providers, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Southend-on-Sea?
You'll need to present your driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Southend-on-Sea?
If you're renting a car in Southend-on-Sea or planning a road trip in greater England, prepare to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.

Where can I find a Southend-on-Sea car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking to rent a car in Southend-on-Sea, we recommend checking the policies of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years of age.

Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24/7 emergency help and a zero-dollar deductible should you need to make a claim. Change of plans? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a complete refund.
Can I drive in Southend-on-Sea with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in England, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
