Caravel Farms, Porter, Pigeon Run, Kirkwood
Mail for 19701 is addressed to Bear, and inside this ZIP you will find Bear, Caravel Farms, Kirkwood, Porter, Pigeon Run, Fairwinds, Wrangle Hill Estates and Christiana Landing. The label matches only part of the picture. Much of the place people call Bear sits in 19702, where the envelope says Newark, so two households who both give Bear as home can carry different ZIPs and different fares. The office goes by the five digits, because the town printed on the mail says little about how far a house stands from the terminals.
One stretch of 19701 lies past the edge of the area the office arranges rides from: the strip along the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal at the ZIP's southern end, around Parkside and Dragon Run. Requests from addresses there are not taken. The rest of 19701, Bear and its neighbours included, is open for a request on the form.
DE-72 to DE-1, the longest run north
Going out, the car covers 39.2 road miles, 56 minutes at a quiet hour. It follows DE-72 first, then US-13 and DE-1, then I-95 and I-495, before I-95 North carries it into Pennsylvania to leave at exit 10, PA-291 East. Departures Road lines up the terminals in this order: A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E and F. Your flight booking names the terminal, so add it to the request; the car pulls in at that curb only to unload.
Those 56 minutes are the floor. Rush hours on I-95 between Wilmington and the airport add time to every ride from the county, so choose a pickup time that leaves room for slow traffic on that stretch. For comparison, an airport transfer from Claymont, DE to PHL runs 13.8 miles, almost all of it on I-95, about a third of the distance from Bear.
