How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wilmington?
In Wilmington, the requirement is 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location.

It's a good idea to read the fine print carefully before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Wilmington?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between rental suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Wilmington often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas other companies may not have any extra fees for this age range. It'd be wise to understand the terms and conditions of your selected rental dealer to escape extra costs when picking up your keys.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Wilmington?
A thorough insurance plan is a good choice for your Wilmington adventure. That's why we suggest choosing collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
