Where can I find a Wilmington hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Wilmington hire suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Wilmington with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire 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 hiring from before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
