What types of cars can I rent in Wilmington?

Where can I go on a road trip from Wilmington?
Wilmington is full of fun adventures, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Grab a set of wheels and take to the road to discover what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some places to consider:

  • Make your way to San Diego County for an excellent sightseeing experience. Approximately 161 kilometres from Wilmington, it has lots of great sights such as San Diego Zoo.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wilmington?
Rental car rules in Wilmington require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Home companies impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the classes of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Wilmington?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between home companies, so be sure to read through your policy.
What is the cheapest car rental in Wilmington?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a cheap car rental in Wilmington was AU$146. The next lowest price was AU$162 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wilmington?
Yes. We partner with quality suppliers that offer long-term holiday homes for a wide range of cars. Head to our long-term car rental deals and discover every nook and cranny of Wilmington — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Wilmington holiday home suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25  be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's good to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Wilmington with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
