Hamilton Park, Farnhurst and Llangollen Estates
Every envelope delivered in 19720 ends with New Castle, yet ask people here where they live and most give a smaller name. Neighbors in Minquadale or Farnhurst answer with the neighborhood. A family in Wilmington Manor carries a different city inside its own place name, while the post office still writes New Castle on its mail. Hamilton Park, Garfield Park, Llangollen Estates and Hares Corner use the same five digits, and so does the town of New Castle itself.
For a ride request the office goes by those five digits. The fare follows the distance from the house to the airport, and the ZIP marks that distance more closely than the city name printed above it, so the request asks for the ZIP of the pickup address whatever name you use for home.
US-13 north to the I-495 ramp
Heading out, the drive from 19720 covers 28.9 miles and takes 44 minutes when the roads are quiet. The route runs on US-13, then I-495, then I-95 North across the line into Pennsylvania. The car leaves at exit 10 for PA-291 East and follows Departures Road to your terminal. Along that road the terminals come in order: A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E and F. The terminal named in your flight booking goes on the request, and at the curb the car stops only to unload.
Treat those 44 minutes as a floor. Rush hours on I-95 between Wilmington and the airport add time, so pick a pickup time that leaves room for slow traffic when your departure falls in a busy part of the day.
Coming in on a late flight
The ride home to New Castle is 30.1 miles, around 46 minutes at a quiet hour, the last stretch on US-13. When your bags are off the belt, go out to Zone 6 on the commercial roadway. A flight number on the request tells the company if the flight runs late or lands early. The page for airport pickup at PHL for New Castle County walks through each terminal door by door.
