To/From Philly Airport and Wilmington, DE
It's been a while since I've posted on Fodors, and I think I have an easy question for someone out there ...
What is the "best" way to get from the Philly airport to the downtown WIlmington, DE area? I understand a taxi can run $70 each way (ouch), that the shared hotel shuttle can be over $40 each way (also not cheap), that to take the train you have to first go in to Philly and then get the train to Wilmington (which sounds painful for a short trip), and I suspect that renting a car is just crazy.
What do folks recommend?
Thanks in advance -

Do you already know just how often the trains run from the airport to the 30th Street station? (every 30 minutes) And the trip doesn't take that long but I agree that it would take longer than getting into that "ouch" cab or that "not as much of an ouch" shuttle bus. You get what you pay for I suppose and the distance to Wilmington from the airport is only 21 miles.

How far is your hotel from the train station? It might have a shuttle that would pick you up. There is also a rental car place at the train station. You could do a one day rental, might be cheaper than your other options. If you aren't rushed then take the train.
