How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wilmington?

What do you need to rent a car in Wilmington?
Generally, all that's required is a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental providers, so remember to check before booking.

Where can I find a Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Wilmington supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great!
