KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Philadelphia

  • A hire car will give you the ultimate flexibility during your stay in Philadelphia. Drive into the city from the airport in under 20 minutes and reach all sights and attractions conveniently with your car, such as the Lincoln Field Stadium to see the Eagles play, or other places of interest outside of the city, such as Princeton University, which is less than an hour by car away, or Atlantic City, which is just over an hour’s drive.
  • The easiest pick-up location for a hire car is at the Philadelphia International Airport. Various companies offer vehicles here, including Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz. Information and pick-up is located at the Ground Transportation Information desks at the baggage claim area, but the airport is signposted throughout, so finding the right desk should be no problem.
  • When driving in Philadelphia there are some things to bear in mind, such as the red light cameras, some dare-devil cyclists, and the difficulties of finding a parking spot. Make sure to drive with patience and attention, as fines can reach hundreds of dollars quickly. Watch out for side track cyclists and opt for a hotel with an included parking space so your vacation will go smoothly.
  • Especially when venturing out of the city core, road conditions in Philadelphia can be challenging, so adapting your speed is crucial. Driving through the rush hour should also be avoided if possible, which is usually between 7 and 9 AM and 4 and 6 PM. The I-76W is especially affected with commuters clogging up the street. Also bear in mind that winters in Philadelphia can include snow, sleet, and ice, so ensuring that the vehicle is properly equipped is important.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Philadelphia for ₪126 or less
  • Book your rental car in Philadelphia at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Full-size rental cars in Philadelphia are around 6% cheaper than other car types, on average

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Philadelphia 
Verified travelerSept 2024
The fact that you were open till 1 AM made my rental possible as it had been booked with Sixt because of pricing and a package. But they closed at 12 PM and I needed to be sure even if the flight was an hour late - needed to get the car. Flight was on time but it was tight with getting the bag and getting the shuttle so I left the rental center at 12:45. Thanks

I don't know which car is best to drive in Philly but we needed a six passenger vehicle and this fit the bill perfectly.
BillieJun 2024
If renting an EV ask more questions if it's your first time renting/using one. EV charging stations are not compatible to every car, at least not yet( heard that will be a new required regulation?). Ask about % of charge required for return. What fee will be applied per day or if returned below a certain charge.
Verified travelerApr 2024
Rent the Full Size Pickup Truck. That is the way to go. Smooth ride, lot's of room inside, respect on the road.

Make sure that the company funds you eligible to rent a car otherwise you can find yourself in a big situation like I did however, Avis did not turn me down

Should you need to rent a car from the Philadelphia airport, your only consideration needs to be Payless Car Rental.

Train station is good location. The man was good that assisted
AngelaNov 2023
Know whether you will be parking in a garage or on the street. If it’s an RPP enforced area, get a visitor’s pass from the Philadelphia Parking Authority to avoid getting ticketed. Never leave valuables in your rental. Double check to make sure your vehicle is locked.
AlinaSept 2023
Maybe call ahead and confirm that they have an actual car onsite for you
Verified travelerSept 2023
Ensure your rental is at the train station rather than the airport.

Secure parking garages close to Independence hall made taking the hop on and off tours easy and got to see all the downtown sites as well as history of the sites and community. Did not experience any concerns because we did not stay past 6 o'clock any evening but was told by several locals and/or regular visitors to be off the streets downtown after dark.
AndrewJul 2023
Be sure to know where to pick up the rental vehicle shuttle. We were not successful in getting on a shuttle for Budget and ended up walking (only a couple blocks, but not pleasant with luggage in hot weather). On return, if flying American, be sure to know what terminal/gate you are flying out of as American uses 5 terminals at PHL. There are several gas stations near the airport, so filling a car before return is easy.

Call the rental company to verify they have your car available before you go to pick up your car

The wait time for picking up the vehicle was ridiculous. My reservation was for 6pm and I got there around that time. I waited over an hour for the vehicle to be cleaned and ready. Got out of the lot close to 7:30pm. I returned the vehicle around 9pm. Came to find out they charged me 3 extra hours because the vehicle was due at 6pm. But they didn't discount the extra 1.5 hours that took me to pickup the vehicle! The vehicle was comfortable.

I landed at the airport and waited for the Payless shuttle van to show up. I saw the shuttle vans for Avis, Hertz, Alamo, etc. No Payless van. After 20 minutes, I tried to call the Payless location and they were closed. I had to rent another car from a company that was actually open (Avis). Please refund me my money for this rental since they were closed and I never picked up a car from them. Thanks.

I booked to pick up the car at 7pm. When I got to the location at 7pm I was told they have closed . I saw a gentle man inside the store and another gentleman sited outside the store. And they both told me they have closed. I was never told the store closed at 7pm. Also I got there at 7pm as booked but never attended to. That’s not professional. If you agree to attend to a customer at 7pm, you should honor your agreement . That messes up all my plans as I intended to travel that night

Overall is was terrible. The line to see an agent was over an hour long wait with the air conditioning ineffective. Then once the agent was completed you had wait for another hour to get the car because all cars were being serviced and the backlog was terrible. Once you got your car it wasn’t even well cleaned and wreaked of cigarette and cigar smoke. The only bright spot was an agent who was going out of her way to help as many people as she could to expedite the line. She was incredibly helpful and polite.

I set up my reservation online well in advance (and specifically turned down additional coverage) but the reserved car was not ready for me when I arrived, so I had to go to the desk where they apparently signed me up for the additional coverage I had previously opted out of - and I didn't find this out until the end of my rental when they charged my card for $200 more than expected. Be very careful when dealing with desk agents, they will scam you!

The website said you could rent with a debit card. Then told me I had to use a credit card. Then did not refund any of the money I paid. This is unacceptable. I also can not call in because nobody ever answers the phone. It’s an automated line that says 10 min wait every time you call no matter what day or time.

The employees at pick-up were polite, but the vehicle was not ready and we were forced to wait for more than 30 minutes. Unfortunately the waiting area was hot and uncomfortable, increasing the displeasure over this delay. The vehicle was good and in good, but not perfect, condition. Drop off was simple and easy. If you have the time to spend on the likely delays, Dollar may be a good choice. If you want prompt service, you should look elsewhere.

Pick up at 12: Am was good and fast. Wanted to try out the car it was new to the market so I got that and it had the leg room I needed. On my return it was an older woman who did her best and because I had a foot protector asked if I needed a ride to the airport. I took the shuttle but she really cared and had already asked. Car was clean and in great shape.

One week prior to my scheduled pick up time I received a call from the pick up location stating I needed to call the 800 number to cancel my reservation because they would not have a car ready for me. I did not cancel my reservation as I received numerous other emails confirming my vehicle would be ready. I picked up my vehicle and it was equipt with a feature called UVO, a subscription based service, which was not activated. Every 5-10 minutes while driving the radio would turn off as it attempted to connect to the UVO system. After returning the vehicle I started getting charged for numerous fees and add one that were never discussed at the time of checkout. I will never rent from Hertz again.

They had incorrect duplicate order that messed up my entire booking process. They then gave me the wrong car. Charged me for a full tank even though the car was 1/3 full. Had wrong mileage. When I dropped off, they tried to retroactively change my daily rate, increasing by 30%. Absolutely awful experience.

Customer service was not good. At pickup, customer service representative made it seem like I was required to have the insurance. I thought I had paid for everything up front then all of a sudden I have another $167 in insurance. It was very confusing. I will not be using Hertz again due to the fact it seemed like they were trying to get every cent out of you instead of working with you to give you a good car experience. If you pay ahead online they should not be trying to sell you more stuff at pickup that you don't need.

HORRIBLE. . I landed in Philadelphia only to find they had closed at 11pm, and I was stranded. . My flight was set to get in at 10:30 and was a little late. I had 1) pre-paid for the car and 2) Checked in earlier that day (via an email from thrifty to speed up the time to get my car.) I had no other option other than to get a hotel room (got to bed at 1pm) and return the next morning. When I arrived at thrifty and told them what had happened there was NO apology. The response was that it is listed on their web site and I should have known, The woman then asked if I had booked through a third party and explained that they do not always post that information. Quite a lame excuse. These days, most people book through a third party and it is up to Thrifty to be sure any third party they use has all their information. I will never use them again. It was bad enough that I was stranded, but the lack of any remorse, apology and customer care was very unprofessional.

Picking it up was pretty messy. And they were going to charge me twice once at the desk and then again as I was leaving the gate when she attempted to charge me as I was leaving the gate, I called it out and she said that there were two reservations that’s why they were charging me double. I told them no there was only one issued it through KAYAK and she insisted I had two reservations, so she ended up fixing it but cleary the kayak booking through other travel partners it got double booked somehow so I would recommend looking into that problem.

Pros:

The staff was very good- they were well organized and working hard. There were lots of customers for limited staff. They were efficient and did their jobs well - there was no time for niceties other than polite service. They were inconsistent in enforcing the rule about "only the renter may come in the building". As a result my wife stood in the cold and watched other couples inside who elected not to comply with the stated rules. The car I got was adequate and functioned fine but was quite expensive (modest car- pretty high rate 140/2 days- tiny Hyundai) so it was adequate but not outstanding value. Return process was highly effective with good speed and no glitches. Again-staff is excellent. Overall- competent but modest value and inconsistent adherence to rules.

Cons:

Standardize adherence to rules. More staff on busy days. More product selection.

Pros:

no, they were not helpful and they were misleading. Apparently they required an airline confirmation as we were paying with a debit card. 3 trips walking to the rental building in the rain the story changed slightly each time as far as what was need. never got the car and will certainly let all know that the Enterprise holding rental companies are incompetant.

Cons:

FIre the entire staff at the Philadelphia airport and hire a staff of concerned workers who work hard to keep their job and seek improvement, not the type that is hired and they feel entitled.

Pros:

The staff were decent. they were friendly and somewhat understanding. The car I received was not the car reserved. and the car received had a horrible odor that the staff tried to convince me of cleaning products. IT WAS NOT!!!! and it smelled so bad the whole trip i had to personally buy air fresheners. Literally!!!! and i know some of my stuff smelled like the car after a few hours. NO GOOD!!!!!!!!!

Cons:

I asked for a better smelling car before i took it off the lot and they convinced me that the smell would go away. No the smell didnt. Car ran smooth.... also it woulda been nice to have some gas in the car before leaving the lot too.

The initial phone reservation contact was confusing to me and that I felt kind of boxed in to renting a “luxury “card which I actually did not want because I was going to be down at the shore for two weeks out of that months rental and that did not feel appropriate for me. Apparently after another follow-up phone call to see if I could actually reserve a more practical car for me like Honda or Toyota, I was told basically that I had to wait until I arrived to change that which I found odd. However, I could not have asked for a better experience at the Philadelphia national car rental location. The on site manager who’s name unfortunately I have forgotten and the attendant were exemplary with me. They made me feel that they would accommodate my request without any hesitation. The staff there could not have been better !

I had a choice of full sizes cars, but wasn't familiar with the models. The Nissan I chose was not the most comfortable seat for me, but the others didn't complain.
