Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Wilmington Intl. Airport (ILM)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Northwest car reservation?
We've got good news! You should receive a total refund if you advise us more than six hours ahead of picking up the car.

Economical, zippy and with excellent mileage, it's no wonder compact cars are the most booked type of rental in Northwest. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily maneuver busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or quick road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!
