The Ardens and Talleys Corner
From the 19810 villages, reserve an airport ride from Arden, DE to PHL
Homes in ZIP 19810, in the north of New Castle County, sit closer by road to Philadelphia International Airport than any other ZIP the post office labels Wilmington. Send a request for an airport ride from Arden, DE to PHL, or for the drive home after you land, and the office looks for a local car company with a car free at your hour. That company's own fare reaches you in writing first, and only your written yes sends the booking on to it.

Three villages and a ring of developments
Ask around 19810 and you hear place names before you hear a city. Arden, Ardentown and Ardencroft are three small villages set among woods, and around them lie Naamans Gardens, Shipley Woods, Talleys Corner, Grubbs Corner and Brandywine Forge. People give these names when they say where home is. The post office prints Wilmington on all of their mail, the same word it prints for 19808, a ZIP 30.6 miles from the terminals.
For a ride to the airport, that common label tells you very little. Of the ten ZIPs mailed as Wilmington, 19810 has the shortest road to the terminals, at 15.9 miles. That spread is why the office lists its from-figures by the ZIP on your address and leaves the city name aside. Homes toward the river in 19809 are covered on the page for airport car service from Bellefonte and Edgemoor to PHL.
Naamans Road to I-95
At a quiet hour the drive from 19810 to the terminals runs 15.9 miles and takes about 26 minutes. The car follows DE-92, Naamans Road, out to I-95 and goes north on I-95 into Pennsylvania. It leaves at exit 10 for PA-291 East and comes onto Departures Road, where the terminals stand in order: A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E, F. At yours, the car stops at the curb just long enough for you to unload.
Treat those 26 minutes as the floor. Rush hours on I-95 between Wilmington and the airport stretch the drive, so choose a pickup time with spare minutes for them, and give it on the request together with your terminal. Your flight booking tells you which terminal to write.
Zone 6 on the night you fly home
Home to the Ardens runs 16.5 miles, about 27 minutes when I-95 is quiet, ending on Naamans Road. Your car pulls in at Zone 6 on the commercial roadway, the stretch set aside for cars booked ahead. Give the flight number when you write in; a landing that slips by an hour then shows up for the car company too. Every door and zone is described on the page for airport pickup at PHL for New Castle County.
What 15.9 miles costs by car size
Here the sedan figure is $130 and the SUV figure $175, per car, each way. The written fare from the car company is a fixed rate for that ride, and anything it adds appears in it before your yes, matching the short list printed next to the figure above.
