South of the Christina River
South of the Christina in 19702: reserve airport car service from Glasgow and Christiana to PHL
Homes in ZIP 19702, from Glasgow Pines down to Becks Landing, lie 37.4 road miles from Philadelphia International Airport, among the longer runs the office arranges in New Castle County. Send the office a request for airport car service from Glasgow and Christiana to PHL; it asks the car companies near you which one can cover your hour, then passes that company's own fare to you in writing. You decide after reading it. The company's driver makes the ride, and you pay the company.

Mail reads Newark, DE
Sedan from $175 SUV from $235
per car, each way, for this ZIP
A from-figure is the starting price per car, each way. Can be added in the written fare: gratuity, unless the fare includes it; extra stops; waiting past the time the fare names; an airport charge or a toll, if one applies.
- To the terminals 37.4 mi, about 55 min at a quiet hour
- Back from Zone 6 37.8 mi, about 56 min
- Roads US-40, DE-1, I-95, I-495
Next door in 19711, also mailed as Newark, the drive is 35.0 miles and the sedan figure $170; the extra 2.4 miles from 19702 add $5.
Becks Landing, Pencader Village, Taylortown
Ask people in 19702 where they live and you hear Glasgow, Christiana, Pencader Village, Salem Woods or Taylortown. The post office prints Newark on all of their mail, although the place called Newark lies in 19711. Much of Bear sits inside 19702 too, so a house its owners call Bear can carry a Newark address, while Bear proper has its own ZIP and its own page: airport transfer from Bear, DE to PHL.
The fare follows the five digits, because the town on the envelope says little about the miles to the terminals. One corner of the ZIP lies outside the area: the small strip beside the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal at its southern edge, around Goose Point. Addresses there fall beyond the rides the office arranges, and the rest of 19702 is covered.
US-40 and DE-1, then north
At a quiet hour the drive from 19702 to the terminals runs 37.4 miles and about 55 minutes. The car takes US-40, then DE-1, then I-95 and I-495, and crosses into Pennsylvania on I-95 North. It leaves at exit 10, PA-291 East, and comes along Departures Road to your terminal. The terminals stand on that road in a fixed order: A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E, F. Your flight booking names yours; write it on the request. At the curb the car stops only to unload.
Treat those 55 minutes as the floor. Rush hours on I-95 between Wilmington and the airport stretch the drive, so choose a pickup time with the slow hours in mind, leave some room on top of it, and add your flight number to the request.
Heading back below the Christina
Glasgow and Christiana are 37.8 miles back, close to 56 minutes in light traffic, with DE-1 and US-40 at the end. Zone 6 on the commercial roadway is where your car pulls in after you collect your bags. Put the flight number on the request so the company knows when you land. The page for airport pickup at PHL for New Castle County explains the walk from each terminal.
Which figure fits your group?
From Glasgow or Christiana a sedan starts at $175 and an SUV at $235, per car, each way. Five people with luggage means the SUV. You get the car company's fixed rate in writing before your yes, and it names any addition from the list printed near the top. The full set of figures is on airport transfer rates to PHL by ZIP code.
