What do you need to rent a car in Colchester?
Be prepared to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental provider whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
Can I drive in Colchester with my U.S. Driver's license?
You sure can. Although it’s easy to arrange an International Driving Permit, so we suggest getting one. This permit lets you drive in most countries, so you’ll have peace of mind while you’re cruising around Colchester.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Colchester?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in Colchester, so go ahead and extend that vacation! Simply enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Colchester car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Colchester outlet that does rent to under 25s? Terrific! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re interested in should have all the information you need.
