Car rental in Philadelphia

Rent a car Philadelphia

The city of Philadelphia, with 1.6 million inhabitants, is the largest metropolis in the state of Pennsylvania, located on the east coast of the USA on the Delaware River. Tourists from all over the world visit Philadelphia because of the many sights that have been created during more than four eventful centuries. German immigrants played a major role in the construction of the city, which is why Germantown in the northwest of the city is one of the oldest districts. You can reach Philadelphia directly from a German airport and land at the International Airport , a few kilometers outside the city center. As a Lufthansa passenger you will find your car rental counter in Terminal A West. Your booked rental car is already waiting at the pick-up station and in a few minutes you are on the I 95 towards the city center. Below are some offers regarding tourist highlights in Philadelphia that you can easily reach with your rental car.

Discover historical sights in the center with a rental car

The inner city of Philadelphia offers a wealth of historical treasures associated with the founding of the United States.

Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, American Museum of Revolution and the Independence National Historical Park are waiting for you. Also worth seeing are the City Hall, the Franklin Institute of Sience and the indoor Farmer Reading Terminal Market.

Rent a car in Chinatown and Germantown

The Chinatown of Philadelphia is only a few hundred meters from the highlights of the city center and offers cultural and culinary offerings from China, Thailand, Vietnam and Korea. Germantown is located in the northwest of Philadelphia, six kilometers from the city centre and actually only consists of beautiful houses on a wide road. Many German inhabitants have meanwhile given way to African-American settlers, still remaining are the stone memories of the American war of independence.

Booking a car cheaply before departure

A transparent price comparison of available offers is the ideal basis for renting the right vehicle for a cheap holiday in the USA. Our portal for price comparison works with every car rental company at Philadelphia Airport and offers you convenient online booking. The car you have reserved is waiting for you on arrival, all you have to do is sign the contract and have a look at the rental car. What you should consider when renting and taking over, we explain to you here:

You rent a rental car from us, you also book a personal insurance. If the vehicle is also to be driven by your companion, this must be included in the agreement by the car rental company at the airport. The process is very important because only people in the contract are covered.

You can rent each vehicle from us at a reasonable price and should not risk the financial advantage of an insufficient policy. We recommend a fully comprehensive insurance without excess, because you will be on the safe side with every damage. The cheaper option always involves you in claims settlement in the event of an accident.

If a round trip through the United States is on the agenda, rent a one-way vehicle from us. The booking is not significantly different from the classic variant, you only need to specify an airport for the car return.

The amount cannot be transferred after booking, but the provider blocks the amount on your credit card. Important! Locking the deposit only works on a full credit card, the often used rechargeable prepaid card is not enough.

Driving a rental car on American roads is a pleasure with few special features. It is important to observe the maximum speeds, the regulations on stop signs and the absolute renunciation of alcohol behind the wheel. Overtaking is allowed on both sides of multi-lane roads.
