Hockessin and the Yorklyn valley
Horse country in 19707: reserve airport car service from Hockessin to PHL
This page covers the part of New Castle County mailed as 19707 and its rides to and from Philadelphia International Airport. The office arranges airport car service from Hockessin to PHL and back through a local car company: you send the address and the time, the office finds a company with a car free, and that company's own price comes back to you in writing. One private car carries only your group, a sedan for up to 3 people or an SUV for up to 6.

Ashland, Auburn, Brackenville and Yorklyn
Ask people in 19707 where they live and the answers vary: Yorklyn, Ashland, Brackenville, Auburn, Cokesbury Village, Mockingbird Hill, Meeting House Hill, or Hockessin itself. The mail prints one word for all of them, Hockessin. Yorklyn is the odd case, with a small ZIP of its own, 19736, so a Yorklyn house may carry either number. The fare goes by the five digits on the address rather than the village name, so check the ZIP before you send a request.
Lancaster Pike to DE-141
Heading out, the car covers 29.2 miles from 19707 to the terminals, about 47 minutes at a quiet hour. It takes DE-48 first, then DE-141, then I-95 North over the line into Pennsylvania. At exit 10 it leaves for PA-291 East and comes onto Departures Road, where the terminals stand in order: A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E, F. Your flight booking names your terminal, so write it on the request. The car pulls to the curb only to unload you and your bags.
Treat those 47 minutes as the least the drive can take. Rush hours on I-95 between Wilmington and the airport add time, so if your drive falls inside one, set the pickup time earlier to allow for it. The pickup time you choose is the one the car company writes into its confirmation.
From the gate to the curb outside
Hockessin is 29.7 miles from the terminals going home, about 48 minutes in light traffic, ending on DE-141 and DE-48. Your car meets you at Zone 6 once you leave baggage claim on the commercial side. Add the flight number to the request so the company follows the landing. For the doors at each terminal, read the page for airport pickup at PHL for New Castle County.
