What types of cars can I rent in Wilmington?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the top choice for many visitors to Wilmington. With exceptional gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they’re ideal for exploring the city. A compact car has more space than an economy vehicle, so you can tour around in a bit more comfort and style. Want something bigger? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Wilmington?
With your own car, exploring the surrounding areas is a cinch. Wilmington is a great place to start, but there’s so much more to keep you on the move in the region. Grab the keys to a home, throw your luggage in the trunk and take a peek at these other awesome locations:

  • Home to sights and experiences galore, Mintaro is about 153 kilometres from Wilmington. First up on the itinerary? Head straight for Martindale Hall, one of this city’s highlights.
  • Whyalla, around 72 kilometres away, will also show you a good time. Wondering what there is to see? Whyalla Foreshore is our top pick.
  • Escape the fast pace of the city at Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Approximately 257 kilometres from Wilmington, it’s a terrific place to get your nature fix.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wilmington?
Anyone with a valid driver’s license 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Wilmington. While some suppliers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21 contracts will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before making your reservation. Outlets also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Wilmington?
Any home company you choose will need these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the home counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Wilmington?
In Wilmington, all vehicles drive on the left. This obviously differs from driving in the States, so be careful and pay extra attention behind the wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wilmington?
Yes, so you won’t need to rebook a holiday home vehicle mid-holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and find a set of wheels to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find a Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found a Wilmington outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That’s great! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re looking at should have all the information you need.
