KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Middletown

  • Using car rentals in Middletown offers a flexible mode of transportation for travelers exploring different parts of the city. Unlike using public transportation, opting for a car rental in Middletown allows you to choose your preferred travel times and the most convenient routes to reach any destination within Middletown. This flexibility is not available when depending on fixed departure schedules and routes of public trains or buses. Having a rental car at your disposal enables you to easily drive to Putters Paradise, which is one of the highly sought-after attraction in Middletown.
  • Middletown, DE does not have its own major airport. The closest major airport to Middletown where you can find a wide range of car rentals is Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Several car rental agencies, such as Alamo, Avis, Budget, and Enterprise, operate at Philadelphia International Airport, and they have rental car facilities conveniently located near the airport terminals. The rental counters for these agencies are located on-site at the Rental Car Facility.
  • When utilizing car rentals in Middletown, it is crucial to consider certain factors. If you have kids who are under 8 years old or shorter than 4'9" accompanying you in the vehicle, it is mandatory to ensure they are always seated in a booster seat, child car seat, or an appropriate restraining device. You can acquire the necessary restraining device from any of the car rental companies in Middletown, subject to an extra charge. Additionally, if you drive your rental car in Middletown's central business district, it is important to be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists who often enter the road without checking for oncoming vehicles.

The town is intersected by major transportation routes, including U.S. Route 301 and State Route 299, which provide convenient access to other parts of the state and neighboring areas. While Middletown itself may not experience significant traffic congestion, the nearby major cities and highways, such as Wilmington and Interstate 95, can sometimes have heavy traffic, particularly during peak travel times in the morning and evening. Users of car rentals in Middletown may encounter traffic during peak hours, if driving in the larger metropolitan region. Rush hour is generally between 7:00-8:00 am and 4:00-6:00 pm.
