Higher age limits usually apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Most companies will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Wilmington?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Wilmington providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
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!
