What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Wilmington?

Where can I find a Downtown Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 in Downtown Wilmington often depends on the holiday home supplier you choose. Some outlets apply a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet others may not have any extra fees for this age range. Make sure you go through the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to escape excessive charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Downtown Wilmington with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the details before booking!
