 | | Heading to Philadelphia? Rent a Car to See the City of Brotherly Love | | | The major rental companies at the airport keep their cars in Zone 2, which is just after the baggage claim area. A typical price for a medium-sized car at the airport is around US$200 for a seven day rental, although the published rate is often much more. Some companies offer big discounts for booking and paying online so, if you have the time, it might be worth booking ahead.
If you make a late decision and book at the airport then shop around. If you can’t get a discount then ask for a free upgrade. Do make sure, though, that your price comparisons take into account any additional costs such as insurance, additional drivers and so on. Be aware that renting a car downtown is often a little more expensive compared to the airport.
Make sure you check the vehicle before you accept it from the company. Look for – and note – any damages or scratches. And check the gas level as well to insure that you have a full tank as promised. | | | |  | | |
