Can I drive in Wilmington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
