Can I drive in Wilmington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the hire car website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
