KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lewes

  • One of the most significant benefits of cheap car rentals in Lewes is that they give you the flexibility and freedom to explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace. Lewes is a small city, but it has several noteworthy landmarks that are worth visiting. One such place is the Lewes Historical Society, which consists of several historical buildings and exhibits that showcase the city's rich history. Another must-see attraction is the Cape Henlopen State Park. Having Lewes car rentals gives you the convenience to visit these destinations at any time.
  • If you plan to pick up Lewes car rentals at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), the car rental offices are located on the Baggage Claim level (first floor) of each terminal. If you're flying into Terminal A, you'll find the rental car counters in Zone 1. If you're arriving at Terminal B or C, you'll find the rental car counters in Zone 2. Many of these rental car companies offer shuttles to their nearby locations. To catch a rental car shuttle at PHL, follow the signs to the Ground Transportation and Baggage Claim area. At Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), the car rental offices are located on the Lower Level of the Terminal building, near Baggage Claim.
  • Generally speaking, driving in Lewes is fairly calm and relaxed. One important thing to keep in mind is that Delaware is one of the few states where it is illegal to pump your own gas. All gas stations are full-service. So, if you need to fill up your cheap car rentals in Lewes just pull up to the gas pump and an attendant will come out to fill it up for you. Another thing to look out for are the many bicyclists in and around Lewes. Many roads have designated bike lanes, and it's important to give cyclists plenty of space when passing them on the road.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in Lewes can be challenging during peak hours, particularly during rush hour. The morning rush hour typically occurs between 7 am and 9 am, while the evening rush hour is between 4 pm to 6 pm. During these peak hours, the highways and major roads leading in and out of the city are most affected, and traffic congestion is common. Moreover, certain parts of Lewes, DE may be more difficult to drive through during particular seasons. For example, winter weather can result in icy and slippery roads that may make driving more difficult.
