When you plan a trip to Philadelphia, one of the arrangements you need to make is getting a rental car. The first time I went to Philadelphia, I rented a car from a company that wasn’t located in the airport, and it turned into kind of a hassle. Although I got lucky, the rental car company that I used came very close to making me miss my flight back home because their shuttle service to the airport was behind schedule.

Because my first experience with renting a car in Philadelphia wasn’t a very good one, I told myself that in the future I would only rent from companies that were located in the Philadelphia airport. Fortunately, because there are seven major rental car companies located in the Philadelphia airport, this is quite easy to do. The seven rental car companies in the Philadelphia airport are Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz and National. When you are making your arrangements for a rental car, I highly recommend choosing one of these seven companies. As I learned from personal experience, being able to pick-up and drop-off your rental car directly at the Philadelphia airport can be extremely helpful.
