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.

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!
