Sixt's Car Hire Services

As in many rural counties, most of the towns in Essex are quite small, with long histories, and thus have old street layouts – lending themselves to our compact and economy cars. To travel to the countryside, hire a luxury saloon, an MPV or a 4x4. If you’re sightseeing in a tour group, a minibus will suit your purposes perfectly. For the classic country driving experience you can also get a nippy sports car or a convertible. Vehicle booking periods are flexible – you can get anything from a long-term rental to a one-day rental, with bookable extras including child seats and sat nav units.

Best cities to visit in Essex

  • Chelmsford: this is the county town of Essex, and the region’s largest and only true city. A settlement dating back to the Bronze Age it’s also a typical Roman-era UK city. It’s the site of the beautiful Chelmsford Cathedral and it’s worth going to see one of its oldest and most iconic buildings, the Shire Hall. 
  • Basildon: besides being something of a pilgrimage town for Depeche Mode fans, Basildon has an exceptionally large public entertainment complex, Festival Leisure Park. It has restaurants, arcades, cinemas, nightclubs and even a wakeboarding area. You can also visit several monuments like the Pitsea War Memorial in Howards Park. 
  • Colchester: best known for Colchester Castle, this town also lays claim to having been the first major Roman city in the UK and thus the country’s oldest town. There are plenty of Roman ruins to visit here, including its famous Roman Walls, built before 80 AD. The town hall is a wonderful example of Edwardian Baroque architecture. 

Summer 2021 in Essex

Summer is a good time to tour all the Roman excavation sites in the county, particularly in the Colchester area. You can also go down to Southend-on-Sea, which boasts the longest pier in the world. It’s also where you can take the kids to the sprawling Adventure Island funfair. You can also take a drive in your hire car to Harwich, from whence the Mayflower sailed to the New World. And don’t miss Mersea island, the oyster capital of the region, connected to the mainland by a causeway.
