KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Wilmington

  • The major airports serving Wilmington include Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT). BOS has its car rental center off-airport. Upon landing at BOS, proceed to the curbside on the lower level of each terminal to access the blue and white complimentary shuttle buses. The buses will transport you to the address of 15 Transportation Way, where the car rental center is conveniently located.

Customer service was great and the process was fast. The car that I took had a problem with lights, I could hardly see at night. It needs to be serviced and I also pointed out to the customer service agent. The wipers need to be changed too as it was hard to see as if I was not driving a 4x4 truck
