Four ZIPs mailed as Newark
Reserve by the right number: airport transfer fares for the Newark, DE ZIP codes
Four of the New Castle County ZIP codes the office covers carry Newark on the mail, and their road distances to Philadelphia International Airport run from 31.7 to 37.4 miles. This page gives the airport transfer fares for the Newark, DE ZIP codes: 19711, 19713, 19702 and the campus ZIP, 19717. Because one city name covers all four, the office lists a from-figure for each five-digit code while the car company sets the fare itself. The table below sets the four side by side, per car and each way.
| ZIP | Mail reads | Sedan from | SUV from | Road miles to PHL | Quiet-hour minutes | Places inside |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19713 | Newark | $165 | $220 | 31.7 | 44 | Brookside, Ogletown, Robscott Manor, Breezewood, Fox Chase Park, Rutherford, Silver Brook, Marydale |
| 19717 | Newark | $170 | $230 | 34.5 | 50 | the campus ZIP in Newark |
| 19711 | Newark | $170 | $230 | 35.0 | 50 | Newark, North Star, Milford Crossroads, Mechanicsville, Fairfield Crest, Harmony Hills, Covered Bridge Farms, Little Baltimore |
| 19702 | Newark | $175 | $235 | 37.4 | 55 | Glasgow, Christiana, parts of Bear, Becks Landing, Pencader Village, Salem Woods, Glasgow Pines, Taylortown |
Each figure here is a starting price for one car, one way. The written fare from the car company may add a gratuity it does not include, extra stops, waiting beyond the time it names, and an airport charge or toll where one applies.

Which Newark ZIP is yours?
On a street map, Newark on the envelope covers far more ground than the place called Newark, so the quickest test is the named place closest to your street. Ogletown, Brookside, Marydale or Rutherford point to 19713. North Star, Mechanicsville, Milford Crossroads or Harmony Hills point to 19711, the ZIP that also holds Newark itself. Glasgow, Christiana, Pencader Village or Taylortown point to 19702. The campus has a ZIP of its own, 19717. The drive from 19711, road by road, is set out on the page for an airport transfer from Newark, DE to PHL.
Bear is the case to watch. The place has its own ZIP, 19701, mailed as Bear, yet much of Bear lies inside 19702 and gets mail marked Newark. A house in Bear can fall on either side of that line, with sedan figures from $175 or from $180. When the map leaves doubt, a recent letter settles it: the five digits on the address line decide which from-figure applies.
Southern edge along the canal
Both 19702 and 19701 reach down to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, and a strip at the southern edge of each lies past the area the office arranges rides from. In 19702 it is a small canal-side strip around Goose Point. In 19701 it is the strip along the canal around Parkside and Dragon Run. Addresses in those two strips are not taken; the rest of both ZIPs, Glasgow and Bear included, is open for a request.
Put the full street address on the form, ZIP included, because those five digits set the from-figure. Delaware City has a ZIP of its own, 19706, and is grouped with Rockland and Yorklyn on the page for an airport ride to PHL from Delaware City, Rockland and Yorklyn.
Once you have your ZIP code and flight, the request form takes the rest, and a written fare comes back from a local car company.
