The Budget counter at Wilmington International Airport (ILM) is located inside the baggage claim area at 1740 Airport Blvd, Wilmington, NC 28405.

After collecting your bags, proceed to the Budget desk, present your driver's license, and the agent will hand you preprinted rental documents and keys. The rental vehicles are parked just outside the baggage claim area, so you can walk directly to your car without taking a shuttle.

Counter hours are Sunday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM. If you are arriving outside those hours, plan your arrival accordingly, as after-hours pickup details are not guaranteed. Booking in advance ensures your reservation is ready when you reach the Budget desk in Wilmington.

To collect your Budget rental car in Wilmington, you must bring the following physical documents to the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, for example Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For other non-English licenses, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license.

All documents presented at the Budget counter in Wilmington must be physical originals. Digital copies on a phone or tablet are not accepted. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.

Returning your Budget rental car in Wilmington is straightforward. The return area is on-site at 1740 Airport Blvd, the same location as pickup. Follow the road signs past the terminal and turn right into the rental car return area.

For after-hours returns, lock the vehicle, place the keys in the key drop box located in the return area, and keep a photo of the car's condition and fuel gauge. The vehicle will be checked in the next business day, and you remain responsible for the car until it is formally processed.

Before returning, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Budget location in Wilmington to comply with the Full-to-Full fuel policy. Keep your fuel receipt as proof in case a fuel charge is disputed. Budget applies a refueling service fee if the tank is not returned at the recorded starting level, which is typically higher than the retail pump rate.

There are no major toll roads directly in or around Wilmington itself, but if you drive inland toward Raleigh or Charlotte during your Budget rental, you may encounter North Carolina's all-electronic toll roads.

The main toll roads in the state are:

• Triangle Expressway (near Raleigh and Durham): up to US$4.19 for a standard 2-axle vehicle using NC Quick Pass
• Monroe Expressway (near Charlotte via US Highway 74): up to US$2.66 electronically or US$4.10 by mail for a 2-axle vehicle

North Carolina uses fully cashless tolling. There are no toll booths. Tolls are collected via NC Quick Pass, E-ZPass, SunPass, or Peach Pass, or by bill-by-mail using license plate cameras. Using an NC Quick Pass transponder gives a 35% discount off the bill-by-mail rate.

Your Budget rental vehicle in Wilmington comes with an electronic toll device. At pickup you can choose an unlimited toll package (typically US$11 to US$25 per day) or pay per use, where Budget charges the actual toll plus an administrative processing fee. Review the rental agreement before signing to understand which option applies.

When you pick up your Budget rental car in Wilmington, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For standard vehicles rented in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount can vary based on the vehicle class, season, and specific location policies.

This hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, which can take up to 15 business days.

• Only a major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted for the deposit
• Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted
• Virtual or digital-only card numbers are not accepted at the Budget counter in Wilmington

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined. If you prepaid your booking online, you are still required to present a physical credit card at the Budget desk for the security hold.

Yes, Budget in Wilmington charges a young driver surcharge for renters between the ages of 21 and 24. The standard fee is US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.

Drivers under 21 are generally not permitted to rent in the United States outside of New York and Michigan. In Wilmington, the minimum age to rent with Budget is 21, subject to the surcharge above.

Additionally, certain vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older, including full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, vans, convertibles, luxury, and premium vehicles. Drivers aged 21 to 24 are typically limited to economy, compact, medium sedan, standard sedan, compact SUV, and medium SUV categories.

One exception applies: if you are a citizen or resident of Latin America or the Caribbean and your Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly states that the underage fee is waived, Budget in Wilmington may waive this surcharge for the main driver aged 21 to 24 on eligible vehicle categories. Check your confirmation carefully before arriving at the counter.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals in Wilmington, include Tolls Cashback of up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the rental period.

While Wilmington itself does not have major toll roads, if your Budget rental takes you toward Raleigh on the Triangle Expressway or toward Charlotte on the Monroe Expressway, you may pay tolls that qualify for this benefit.

To claim your cashback after returning the vehicle:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the car
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your reservation confirmation number
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the Budget rental agreement signed at pickup in Wilmington, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.

Budget rentals in Wilmington follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Budget agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and gauge before leaving the lot.

When returning your car to the Budget location at Wilmington International Airport, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return point so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive. Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Budget may charge:

• A fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the retail pump price
• A refueling service fee for the administrative handling

For after-hours returns in Wilmington, leave the fuel receipt inside the vehicle or in the key drop envelope, and keep a photo of the full gauge as your own record.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget rental in Wilmington, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at pickup with a valid driver's license to sign the rental agreement.

Whether the fee is included or charged at the counter depends on your rate:

• If your booking confirmation states additional driver is included, no fee applies for the first extra driver
• If not included, Budget in Wilmington charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum of US$65 plus taxes

For Budget rentals in Wilmington, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old. Drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to the young driver surcharge or may not be accepted as additional drivers depending on location rules.

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. If someone drives who is not named on the contract, those protections may be void. Check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation before arriving at the Budget counter in Wilmington to confirm whether the additional driver fee is included in your rate.

The insurance coverage included in your Budget rental in Wilmington depends on the rate plan selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact coverages listed.

The two main protections to look for are:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Budget rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to third parties.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. In North Carolina, not all rental locations are required by state law to include minimum liability, so confirm whether this is included or available as an add-on for your Wilmington booking.

CDW/LDW and LIS/ALI/SLI are separate protections. Having one does not replace the other. Both apply only to drivers named on the Budget rental agreement in Wilmington. Review your confirmation carefully and add any missing coverage before pickup.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Budget, allowing you to pick up in Wilmington and return the vehicle to a different city or airport in the United States.

A drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, distance, vehicle class, and season. This fee is route-specific and set by Budget. When booking through Hola Car Rentals, the drop-off fee will appear under the section labeled to pay at destination on the checkout and confirmation screens. If no fee is shown, no drop-off charge applies to that route.

A few things to keep in mind for one-way rentals from Wilmington:

• The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly to Budget at the counter or upon return
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate the fee
• Cross-border one-ways, such as driving into Canada or Mexico, are subject to separate partner rules and may not be permitted

Review your Hola Car Rentals confirmation to confirm the drop-off fee for your specific Wilmington to destination route before arriving at the Budget counter.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals in Wilmington, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. However, this benefit applies only to travelers who are not residents of the United States or Canada. US and Canadian residents do not qualify for this coverage.

For eligible travelers, the travel assistance included with your Wilmington Budget booking typically covers:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

This is particularly useful if you experience a medical emergency or a breakdown on a highway outside Wilmington, such as on Interstate 40 heading inland, where immediate local support may not be readily available.

To use the assistance, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, before incurring expenses where prior authorization is required. Check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation for the exact coverage terms and limits that apply to your specific booking.

Yes, Wilmington uses a one-way street system in parts of the city that can be unfamiliar to first-time visitors driving a Budget rental car. The most notable example is the one-way pair of 16th Street and 17th Street, which are key north-south routes used for traffic management in the area.

When navigating your Budget rental from Wilmington International Airport toward downtown or other parts of the city, keep the following in mind:

• Use your vehicle's GPS or a navigation app to account for one-way restrictions in real time
• One-way streets mean you may need to travel an extra block or two to reach your destination from the correct direction
• Turning against a one-way street is a traffic violation and can result in a fine that would be charged back to the main driver of the Budget rental

The Budget location at 1740 Airport Blvd in Wilmington is on the airport grounds, so one-way street patterns primarily affect driving once you enter the city. Planning your route before leaving the Budget lot will help you navigate Wilmington's street layout with confidence.
