If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Whether you need a spacious people carrier for the entire family or a luxury vehicle for a stylish ride, or car type like Compact, Economy, Mini, Standard, Compact SUV, Intermediate SUV Essence has you covered. You'll have plenty of choices to suit your needs.

Ensure you understand the roadside assistance that comes with your rental. This information is vital in case of breakdowns or emergencies.
