What do you need to rent a car in Wilmington?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Wilmington, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name.

Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.

Where can I find a Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies operating in Wilmington. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
