Can I drive in Wilmington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required 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 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 ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states 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: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
