Rowhouse streets of 19806: reserve airport car service from Trolley Square to PHL
From the rowhouse blocks of 19806 in New Castle County, the drive to Philadelphia International Airport covers 20.9 road miles at a quiet hour. The office arranges airport car service from Trolley Square to PHL, and home again, by finding a nearby car company with a car open at your hour. That company sends its own price in writing; your written yes passes the request on, and the company then confirms the ride in writing. Each car carries your group alone: a sedan holds up to 3 people, an SUV up to 6.

per car, each way, for this ZIP
A from-figure is the starting price per car, each way. Can be added in the written fare: gratuity, unless the fare includes it; extra stops; waiting past the time the fare names; an airport charge or a toll, if one applies.
- To the terminals 20.9 mi, about 33 min at a quiet hour
- Back from Zone 6 21.9 mi, about 34 min
- Roads I-95 with US-202
Next door in 19801, downtown, the drive to the terminals is 22.1 road miles against 20.9 from here, and the from-figures sit at $145 for a sedan and $195 for an SUV.
Trolley Square to Happy Valley
Ask someone here where they live and the answer is a neighborhood: Trolley Square, the Highlands, Forty Acres, Cool Spring, West Hill, Alapocas, Kentmere or Happy Valley. In Trolley Square and Forty Acres that often means a rowhouse on a narrow street, and the request needs the house number as well as the block, so the car comes to the right door.
The post office prints Wilmington on every one of these envelopes, and on nine other ZIPs as well. Those ten Wilmington ZIPs lie between 15.9 and 30.6 road miles from the terminals, so the city name alone says little about the drive. That is why the request asks for the ZIP and the street address first. Downtown next door carries its own ZIP, 19801, covered on the page for airport transfer from downtown Wilmington, DE to PHL.
I-95 with US-202 for the first stretch
Going out, the car covers 20.9 miles to PHL, about 33 minutes when traffic is light. It joins I-95, which runs together with US-202 for a stretch, heads north into Pennsylvania and leaves at exit 10 for PA-291 East. That road brings it onto Departures Road, where the terminals follow one another in this order: A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E, F. Your flight booking names your terminal, so put it on the request. The car stops at the curb only to unload.
Set the pickup time with rush hour in mind. Busy hours on I-95 between Wilmington and the airport stretch the drive, and the 33 minutes above hold for a quiet road only. When your flight leaves during the busy part of the day, ask for a pickup earlier than the quiet-hour figure suggests and write that time on the request.
Zone 6 sits past the baggage carousels
From the terminals to Trolley Square or the Highlands is 21.9 miles, close to 34 minutes when traffic is light. The meeting point is Zone 6 on the commercial roadway, beyond the carousels. A request with the flight number lets the company keep an eye on the landing. People flying in from abroad start at A-West; how that walk goes is explained on the page for airport pickup at PHL for New Castle County.
Per car, from $140
For Trolley Square and its neighbors, a sedan starts at $140 and an SUV at $190, per car, each way. A group of four with large cases should ask for the SUV. The company's fixed rate arrives in writing before your yes, with any additions already named, as the box above describes. See airport transfer rates to PHL by ZIP code for every ZIP.
