Where can I find a Wilmington hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Wilmington companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Wilmington with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you might need to get 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, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card 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 hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 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 car hire company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
