Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Chelmsford car reservation?
We realise that plans change unexpectedly. That's why most bookings allow for a complete refund if you cancel at least six hours before collecting the car. Your rental agreement should contain all the information you need. If you can't find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.
What types of cars can I rent in Chelmsford?
Reasonably priced, a breeze to handle and great on mileage, it's not surprising compact cars are the most popular type of rental in Chelmsford. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is perfect for city breaks or short road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!

What do you need to rent a car in Chelmsford?
In most cases, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules often differ between suppliers, so it's a good idea to check the terms and conditions.

Where can I find a Chelmsford car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking to rent a car in Chelmsford, we recommend checking 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 additional fees if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
