Car Rental Philadelphia Airport Mini Guide

When hiring a car from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) through Rhinocarhire, it's important to consider various aspects such as the airport's location, access roads, distances to nearby cities, tolls, road conditions, and traffic.

PHL is the primary airport serving the Philadelphia metropolitan area, located approximately 7 miles southwest of downtown Philadelphia. The airport is situated in the southern part of the city, adjacent to the Delaware River. Access to and from the airport by car is straightforward, with multiple exits and entrances. The roadways leading to and from the airport are designed to accommodate significant traffic volume. PHL is directly accessible from Interstate 95 (I-95), a major north-south highway on the East Coast, providing easy access to downtown Philadelphia or south toward other destinations. For those arriving at the airport, there are clear signs directing to the various terminals and parking facilities, with a range of on-site parking options including short-term, long-term, and economy parking​​.

Regarding exit roads and directions:

  • From Center City Philadelphia, you can take I-95 South to the Philadelphia International Airport Exit or I-76 East following signs for the airport.
  • From the PA Turnpike, take the Mid-County Exit (Route 476), then 476 South (Chester) to I-95 North, and follow I-95 North to the Philadelphia International Airport Exit.
  • From the NJ Turnpike, take Exit 3 to the Walt Whitman Bridge, stay in the right lane after the toll plaza, and take I-95 South to the airport exit​​.

The distance from downtown Philadelphia to PHL is approximately 6.78 miles in the southwest direction and 10 miles (16.09 kilometers) by car, following the PA 611 route. The drive between the two points is generally around 17 minutes non-stop​​.

In terms of road conditions and traffic, it's advisable to plan your trip to PHL carefully. Factors such as road construction, accidents, and public transit delays can affect travel times. Regular updates on roadwork, hazards, and public transit are available and can assist in making the journey from the Greater Philadelphia region, New Jersey, and Delaware less stressful​​.

Please note that this information may be subject to change, and it's always a good idea to check for the most current conditions and updates before traveling.
