KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Middletown

  • Though Middletown offers a wide range of public transport options, they can never compare to the freedom car rentals in Middletown give you when exploring the city. These public transportation options operate on fixed schedules. In addition, they only cover some routes in the city. However, with a car rental, you have the flexibility to drive to various places and fulfill your exploration desire. For example, you can go to French Creek State Park, about 51 miles east of the city.
  • Most flights to Middletown land at Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI). Most car rental agencies, including Budget, Alamo, Orbitz, and Avis, are located at the rental car facilities at New Bridge Road and Stoney Run Road. Passengers can get to the car rental offices using free shuttle services from the airport terminal. Long queues can inconvenience your journey when booking a rental car at the last minute. That's why it is advised to book your car in advance.

  • Traffic during rush hours, mostly between 6:30 am to 9 am and 4 pm and 7:30 pm on weekdays, can be hectic. This is mainly because these are commute times for people going to and from work or children going to and from school. One road mostly with heavy traffic is Highland Avenue. Therefore, avoid driving on this route or start your journey before traffic hours to enjoy a convenient journey.

Wish I’d rented something a little smaller for the PA streets in little old towns. But our party was unexpectedly smaller than anticipated. If you can, rent something compact.

Signage to-from the airport are very clear.

Long term parking lot is a long walk to and from the rental area, so make sure you have someone else with you if you are leaving your own car to pick up a rental.
