We know that plans change unexpectedly. That’s why the majority of prepaid reservations offer a refund if you cancel at least six hours before collection. Your home agreement should include all the details you need. If you can’t see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always available.
What types of cars can I rent in Delaware?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium … Whatever you prefer! However, compact models are the top pick in Delaware.

Compact vehicles offer a little more room compared to economy rides and are suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.
Where can I go on a road trip from Delaware?
Delaware is full of adventures, but don’t restrict yourself to one place. Pick up a set of wheels and head off to explore the wider area. These are some great options:

  • You’ll discover Great American Ball Park and loads more intriguing sights in Cincinnati. From Delaware, it’s around 177 kilometres away.
  • Located 177 kilometres away, Cleveland is also a favourite with travellers. Make time to get to Progressive Field while you’re in town. It’s one of the reasons people love visiting this colourful city.
  • Geneva State Park is located 241 kilometres from Delaware and is one of the region’s most breathtaking nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Delaware?
Home vehicle rules in Delaware require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Most home providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the types of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Delaware?
Any home company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Delaware?
You can rent a car for a month or even longer in Delaware, so don’t hestitate to extend your holiday! Just enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and book your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Delaware car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Delaware holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, some will charge extra fees. It’s best to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Delaware with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You 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 state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot 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 onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
