What do you need to rent a car in Essen?
Generally, you'll need a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up your car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental outlets, so remember to check in advance.
Can I drive in Essen with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, provided your U.S. License is current. But think about getting an International Driving Permit anyway. They're fairly easy to organize, and with one, you're permitted to drive in other places if your vacation plans extend beyond Essen.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Essen?
You can, and the terrific news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Essen and cruise off with a real bargain.
Where can I find an Essen car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Essen rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge extra fees. It's good to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
