How old do you have to be to rent a car in Saffron Walden?

While terms and conditions may differ between rental car outlets, the basics are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Saffron Walden?
If you're renting a car in Saffron Walden or planning a big road trip in England, remember that you'll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel and some controls 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 at the start.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Saffron Walden?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and lock in a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your escape.

Make sure you go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental dealer to avoid excessive charges when picking up your keys.
