How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Wilmington?
Downtown Wilmington requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and stricter home conditions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard home rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Wilmington?
Before you can road trip around Downtown Wilmington, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card. If you don’t take out the company’s insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a home provider.

Yes, and you’ll find your perfect set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip details and we’ll list excellent offers from a range of quality companies.
Where can I find a Downtown Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Downtown Wilmington often depends on the holiday home provider you choose. Some places have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas other companies may not have any extra costs for this age group. Make sure you go through the terms and conditions of your chosen holiday home company to avoid extra costs when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Downtown Wilmington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s 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 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 state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go 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 United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before booking!
