Top tips for renting a car at Greater Wilmington airport

  • Renting a car at Greater Wilmington Airport is advisable if you want to tour Wilmington extensively. With a rental car, you can save yourself a lot of time since you won't have to transfer vehicles or wait for other passengers to board or alight from the vehicle you're traveling with. You can also enjoy road trips to towns not so far from the airport, including Edgemoor, Newport, Carneys Point, Linwood, North Star, Westville, Brooklawn, and Seabrook Farms.
  • Greater Wilmington Airport experiences peak traffic during morning hours. During these hours, picking up and dropping off a rental is more difficult than usual. With this in mind, if you want to rent a car at this airport, pick it up in the afternoon. On the date you're set to return it, book a flight that departs in the evening so you can drop off your rental shortly before.
  • If you want to drive your rental past Delaware's borders, the car rental at Greater Wilmington Airport you should hire from is Budget. This is because it allows its vehicles can be driven throughout the continental USA with no restrictions. Based on availability, it offers one-way rentals to some cities.
  • When riding with you in your rental, your child must sit in a rear-facing car seat if he is below three years, a front-facing car seat if he is between four and seven years, and a booster seat if he is between 8 and 12 years. Aside from offering top-range vehicles, Greater Wilmington Airport car rentals offer child safety seats. Hence, you can have the child car seat you need for your child installed by your agency.
  • Book your rental car at Greater Wilmington airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Entered driver’s license and credit card in pre-checkin through budget. Didn’t matter when the pickup desk still needed to see and swipe credit card. Dropoff location did not have a key dropbox, so i had to return the following day to return the rental car

Pros:

Yes staff was great. Drop off OK, although when the fourth floor drop off is closed and you have t o go around the airport again to get to the third floor drop off, they should put a sign advising you of this BEFORE you go up to the 4th floor! Otherwise, a piece of cake.

Cons:

Post a sign at FLL advising NOT to go to the 4th floor when that location is closed, necessitating another loop around the airport.

Comfortable and clean car. Easy pickup and drop off. I returned the vehicle with a full tank (also noted on the return invoice) and was still charged a $17.99 refueling fee. I called customer service and asked for a refund of the fee since they didn’t have to refuel the car. They promptly gave me a refund of the refueling fee. Good experience otherwise but it’s annoying to have to deal with the unexpected fee.

they say that they are open until 10:00 and they were not. We had to spend the night in a hotel and get our car in the morning.

Pick up location was closed. Only a sign on the door. Had to drive across town to find other location. Luckily we went a couple days before to check on rental and onsure we were all set, otherwise we would have been late. A notice should have been sent to us thru reservation that the location we chose was now closed.

Made two reservations thru Kayak to Hertz and both times they stranded me with no vehicle. I can only give them a "F" on their customer service since I never got to drive their cars. Most likely the bumped me because I was Kayak and they had opportunities to get a higher rate from someone else....

My experience was ok. They didn’t have a full size car that I wanted so I got “upgraded” to a small suv, but that is not really an upgrade if the full economy is higher than what I wanted to have. It was only me and my wife. Also the vehicle was really dirty on the outside, the steering wheel was sticky and there was trash and food debris between the driver side seat and center console.

Our reservation was not available and I did not get a car the day I needed one. I spent three hours running around between two Hertz locations and on the phone with Hertz and Priceline. No one could help. I ended up with a smaller car and paid a higher rate at the counter. It is impossible to get someone from Hertz on the phone. When I finally connected with customer service, I was told there is something wrong with the reservation because it came from a third party site. Hertz would not honor the price I reserved through Kayak, did not have a car for me, and really didn’t care what that meant for our family vacation.

I did not end up renting from Payless rental because the lack of car selection. I reserved a SUV class & when I got their to pick it up it was a crossover. That was the only car available. That did not fit us for our needs so we decided to go with a different rental company. Rental car companies should be more transparent, this will save time & money because the renter's know exactly what they are getting. The customer service at Payless wasn't great either & also played a part in the decision not to use them.
