KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Newtown

  • Car rentals in Newtown offer several advantages over relying solely on public buses or trains. A rental car provides a high level of convenience and flexibility. With a rental car, you have the freedom to explore Newtown and its surrounding areas at your own pace without being tied to rigid schedules or routes of public transit. With a Newtown car rental, you can visit remote destinations that may not be easily accessible by public transportation. In addition, car rentals in Newtown will grant you convenient access to some of the region's top attractions, including Tyler State Park, Core Creek Park, and Churchville Nature Center, where you can enjoy breathtaking views and hiking trails.
  • Newtown is served by three major airports, including Trenton–Mercer Airport (TTN), Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), and Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE), formerly known as Allentown–Bethlehem Airport. Upon arrival at TTN, exit the terminal building and follow signs to the rental car shuttle pick-up areas, where you'll board a shuttle bus to the rental car center situated about a mile away. Once you're at PHL, proceed to the baggage claim area and follow the signs to the shuttle bus pick-up area located in Zone 2. Board the shuttle bus to the car rental facility, located about a 4-minute ride away on airport grounds. Upon arrival at ABE, proceed to the rental counters situated near baggage claim in the main terminal. Moreover, you need to be 21 with a valid driver's license to rent a car at any of these airports. However, some of the car rentals in Newtown have an underage surcharge for drivers below the age of 25.
  • The driving culture in Newtown is characterized by a strong adherence to traffic rules and a generally orderly flow of traffic. The town's roads are well maintained, and drivers are courteous and cautious. Stop signs and traffic signals are respected, with drivers coming to complete stops and yielding the right of way when required. Speed limits are strictly enforced, especially in residential areas, which contributes to a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists. Newtown's law enforcement is vigilant, featuring a visible presence of police officers ensuring that drivers follow the rules.
  • The rush hour in Newtown generally occurs during the morning and evening peaks, with the heaviest traffic usually seen from around 7 am to 9 am and from around 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm on weekdays. Major roads that tend to feature heavy traffic during these times include the Newtown Bypass (Route 332), the intersections of Route 532 (Durham Road), and Route 413 (Newtown-Richboro Road). To avoid the congestion, consider alternative routes such as Stoopville Road and Swamp Road. Newtown experiences a mild range of temperatures throughout the year with distinct winter months that feature difficult driving conditions. Pennsylvania encounters cold temperatures and snowfall, leading to slippery roads and reduced visibility. It's advisable to exercise caution during these months.

When I went to pick up my rental car the location was closed. It makes absolutely no sense they would allow me to book a car starting at the time when the location closes.

Pick up return process was very easy, except for it took almost a week for them to process my return. The car was good, reliable, not that clean when we picked it up, however, and only had not quite a half a tank of gas.

Terrible. My Tesla was sitting there and they wouldn’t give it to me because it was “reserved for uber”. Customer service was terrible. There was no manager and the manager was ignoring the persons workings calls. Not happy at all with our experience.
