CAR RENTAL IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE

Delaware has one of the smallest territories in the United States; it is only bigger than Rhode Island. It's also one of the least densely populated states in the country. These characteristics make it not one of the most popular destinations among travelers.

However, there are three factors that increasingly attract the attention of people around the world:

  • The location: in the northeast, next to New Jersey, between New York and Washington;
  • The natural beauties: there are beaches of rustic scenery, worthy of movies;
  • The tax exemption: the state does not charge taxes on shopping! No doubt, this is the main attraction for tourists.

If you still need more reasons to consider visiting Delaware, know that the place is one of the most economical for travelers and it's easy to get there - you can include it in an itinerary that passes through several cities in the region.

From Washington, it's possible to take highway I-95 to New York and vice versa. This route gives you access to the north of the state and the best tip for you to get the most out of the place is to make the trip by car.

Meet Delaware by car: rent a vehicle!

A car trip around the United States gives you the practicality, comfort and flexibility that other means of transportation cannot offer. With a car rental you can get to know several places in a short period of time and save money - especially if you are in a group.

Following Interstate 95 you have good infrastructure and safety on the way to Delaware. To get to know the state, make a travel itinerary with the tourist points you want to know and trace the best route.

There are several beaches on the East Coast of the USA that are very close, such as Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and Indian Beach, and you can visit them in a weekend, for example.

If you rent a car with Happy Tours, for example, the pick-up takes place at Wilmington Train Station, near New Castle Airport. The capital of Delaware is Dover, but Wilmington is the urban centre, the most populous city in the state.

Why visit Delaware in the United States?

As said before, the highlights of the state are the beautiful beaches and tax-free shopping. Learn more about what to do in Delaware on a road trip.

The Nature of Delaware

On beaches with clear and clean sands, sea with calm waters and rustic beauty it is possible to practice sports like surfing and kitesurfing.

The Rehoboth Beach region has more infrastructure, with wooden deck, snack bars and shops to buy souvenirs. Those seeking tranquility can bet on South Bethany Beach, further away from tourism.

There are several state parks with environmental reserves that serve as shelter for the region's more than 500 species of migratory birds. Don't miss Ashland Nature Center, the dunes of Cape Henlopen State Park and Mount Cuba, full of botanical gardens.

The more adventurous can do radical activities from the bottom of the sea to the treetops: kayaking, stand-up paddle, sport fishing, zip line and much more!

To recover from the strong emotions, take the opportunity to visit the classic museums of the place. Our suggestions are the Delaware Art Museum, the Hagley Museum and the Air Mobility Command Museum.

Shopping in Delaware

Many people think of the outlets in Miami and Orlando when it comes to luxury shopping at special prices, but we present another place where your money can earn more: Delaware is one of the places that does not charge the Sales Tax, the tax on shopping.

It works like this: the american states have the autonomy to decide whether or not to charge fees on product sales. This increase happens over the total price of the merchandise, so visitors need to make calculations before buying anything to see if it's worth it.

In Delaware this is not necessary: the price of the label is really what you will pay. Take the opportunity to visit everything from beach shops to luxury boutiques. To have an idea, in the neighboring New Jersey and New York taxes can reach U$110.
