Car Rental at Philadelphia International Airport

Right upon arrival, you'll find a wide range of car rental companies conveniently located in PHL. Options range from compact cars for the budget-minded traveler to SUVs and luxury vehicles to elevate your trip experience.

Picking Up Your Car

Once you have your luggage, simply follow the signs for 'Car Rental'. Most major rental companies have desks within the airport itself. Not to worry, though! These companies offer complimentary shuttle buses to their car parks.

The return process is straightforward. Just follow the car rental signs and park your vehicle in the designated area of your car rental provider. You can then catch a quick shuttle bus to your departure terminal.

Driving in Philadelphia

Driving in Philadelphia provides the perfect opportunity to experience all the city has to offer at your own pace and convenience. Remember to keep to the right as opposed to driving on the left as in the UK!

Routes and Traffic

Philadelphia has an extensive road network, similar to a grid, making navigation relatively easy. However, traffic can get a bit busy during rush hour (typically between 7-9 am and 4-6 pm). Consider using a satnav or mapping app to plan your route, taking into account roadworks and potential delays.

Parking in Philadelphia

Philadelphia offers both metered parking and multi-storey car parks in the city centre. Pay attention to the signs to avoid potential penalties and remember that car parks are a safer option, especially if you're planning to leave your car overnight.

Local Currency and ATMs

The local currency is the US Dollar (USD). ATMs, where you can withdraw cash, are readily available throughout the city. Most businesses also accept credit cards, making for convenient transactions.

Climate

Philadelphia has a hot-summer humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Be sure to check the forecast ahead of your trip and dress in layers, as the weather can change quickly.

Surrounding Cities & Attractions

The city of Philadelphia is brimming with iconic landmarks, such as the historic Liberty Bell, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the famous Rocky Steps. However, renting a car allows you to explore beyond the city boundaries, where attractions such as Valley Forge National Historic Park, Atlantic City, and even New York City await!

So pack your bags, pick up your rental car at Philadelphia International Airport, and start your unforgettable road trip in the city of Brotherly Love!
