Where can I find a Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are in Wilmington. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Wilmington with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. 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 forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
