How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wilmington?
Generally, the rules are 21 years and over in Wilmington. It's important to note that most companies will charge additional fees for young renters. Check before you pick your ride, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury vehicle or a large car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
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! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Wilmington?
