Question 12

Where can I find a Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Wilmington rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's handy to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so do your research.

Question 13

Can I drive in Wilmington with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's 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 to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
