Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Wilmington car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has information about cancellations. In most situations, total refunds are available if a prepaid rental is cancelled more than six hours prior to the arranged pickup time. It's a good idea to scan your rental agreement to double-check if there are any exceptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Wilmington?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the first choice for many visitors to Wilmington. With exceptional gas mileage and easy handling and parking, they're perfect for zipping around the city. A compact car offers slightly more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can travel around in a little extra comfort and style. Prefer something bigger? Browse our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wilmington?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Wilmington is 21. An extra fee for young drivers typically applies, so check before you book and factor in possible additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the categories of vehicles available to young drivers. For instance, some companies will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may vary between providers, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Wilmington?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wilmington?

Where can I find a Wilmington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are in Wilmington. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
