Rowhouses, Tudor streets and Elsmere
Ask people in 19805 where they live and you hear many names: Little Italy, Wawaset Park, Union Park Gardens, Canby Park, Hilltop. Farther west the answer is Elsmere, a town in its own right, or Silverbrook, or Prices Corner. On the mail, every one of those homes reads Wilmington, followed by the same five digits.
That one word covers a lot of road. Ten ZIP codes in the county carry Wilmington on the mail, and their distance to the terminals runs from 15.9 to 30.6 miles. So the office lists its from-figure by the ZIP of the pickup address, and every street in 19805 gets one set of figures, from the rowhouse blocks of Little Italy to the edge of Prices Corner.
Twenty-three miles, mostly on I-95
From an address in 19805 to the terminals is 23.3 miles by road, about 39 minutes at a quiet hour. The car joins I-95, running with US-202 for a stretch, and keeps north on it into Pennsylvania. It leaves at exit 10 for PA-291 East and comes onto Departures Road, where the terminals stand in a row: A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E, F. Your flight booking names your terminal, so put it on the request. At the curb the car stops only to unload.
Those 39 minutes are a floor. Rush hours on I-95 between Wilmington and the airport add time, and a ride that falls in the morning or evening rush needs more room. Choose a pickup time with that room built in and write it on the request; the car company's written confirmation repeats it.
