Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Chelmsford car reservation?
We know that plans change and flexibility is important. That’s why the majority of prepaid reservations give a total refund if you cancel at least six hours in advance of the collection time. It’s a good idea to read the rental agreement though as there are some exemptions. If the information isn’t there, head to our Customer Service Portal.

What do you need to rent a car in Chelmsford?
Before you can hit the road in Chelmsford, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you prefer not to take out the rental company’s insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
Can I drive in Chelmsford with my U.S. Driver's license?
You certainly can. If you have a valid U.S. License, you’re permitted to drive in Chelmsford. You’re unlikely to need an International Driving Permit. However, they are fairly easy to pick up, so it might be a wise move to organize one anyway.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Chelmsford?
You can. We partner with quality suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every inch of Chelmsford — or beyond!
Where can I find a Chelmsford car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little homework. Managed to find a Chelmsford outlet that does rent to under 25s? That’s great! Just bear in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at will have all the information you need.
