Philadelphia → Wilmington, Delaware: key facts

Getting from Philadelphia Airport (PHL) to Wilmington, Delaware takes about 35 min by car on an empty road (35–45 min in heavy traffic) over 36 km via I 95. Our private transfer costs $130 for a car with 1–3 passengers or $190 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: Your driver waits for you inside the baggage claim area of the terminal your flight arrives at, holding a sign with your name, and then walks with you to the car outside on the airport roadway. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Wilmington, the largest city in Delaware, lies south-west of the airport along the Delaware River, about 35 km away. The drive is a straight run south on Interstate 95 through Delaware County and past Chester, crossing into Delaware a few kilometres before the city; I-95 enters downtown Wilmington near the Christina River. The road carries heavy commuter and freight traffic, so weekday peaks are slower, but there is no toll on this section of I-95.

Downtown Wilmington centres on Rodney Square and Market Street, with office towers and hotels within a few blocks. The Riverfront district along the Christina River, south of the train station, has a riverwalk, restaurants and the Delaware Children's Museum. The Joseph R. Biden Jr. Railroad Station, served by Amtrak and SEPTA, is at the edge of downtown between Market Street and the river. The Brandywine Valley museums and gardens lie a short drive north-west of the city.

Public transport instead: SEPTA Regional Rail train Airport Line from Airport Terminals station (platforms next to baggage claim) to Penn Medicine or 30th Street Station, roughly every 30 min on weekdays, less often at weekends (see timetable). SEPTA Regional Rail train Wilmington/Newark Line from Penn Medicine or 30th Street Station to Wilmington station, to timetable, 1 change. No direct train from the airport: ride the SEPTA Airport Line into Philadelphia and change to a Wilmington/Newark Line train, which runs back south-west past the airport area to Wilmington.
