Book with Zest Car Rental at Allentown Airport

We take a fresh, honest approach to car hire. Our booking process is simple: clear pricing, no hidden costs, and no small print to sweat over. We want you to relax and look forward to exploring the historic colonial architecture and scenic river fells of Eastern Pennsylvania.

Unlock the real Lehigh Valley

Allentown Airport is the premier starting point for discovering the rich industrial heritage and beautiful rolling hills of Pennsylvania. With a rental car, you can reach the historic fells of Allentown City Centre and the PPL Center in just 15 minutes. For a journey into beautifully preserved 18th-century architecture, the charming fells of Historic Bethlehem are roughly 15 minutes southeast. If you seek major metropolitan sights, the legendary fells of Philadelphia are a comfortable 1-hour drive south, all easily accessible from the terminal grounds.

Pennsylvania is a region of immense historic variety, from the emerald fells of the rural farmlands to the bustling urban fells of its major cities. A rental car gives you the ultimate freedom to explore beyond the airport and discover hidden covered bridges, traditional Pennsylvania Dutch diners, and the scenic roads that trace the Lehigh River. Find your own rhythm in the historic and scenic heart of the Keystone State.

Can I take my USA Rental Car into Canada?

Renting a car and venturing across the border is a fantastic way to embrace the spirit of adventure! Traveling north to explore the fells of Canada is possible from specific US locations, though cross-border permissions depend entirely on the individual car category and provider regulations. If you are planning a cross-border trip northward, we recommend checking the specific terms when you generate a quote on our website. Eligible rentals will be clearly labelled with any cross-border permissions and mandatory provider charges. Please note that cross-border travel into Mexico is generally prohibited by most providers due to local insurance requirements, so it is important to check your specific terms if navigating near the southern border.

Our Fleet at Allentown Airport

At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles at Allentown Airport to suit every journey. Whether you need a compact car for easy city navigation, a spacious SUV for a family trip into the valley fells, or a premium vehicle for a smooth cruise along the interstate, we have the perfect fit for you. All provider-specific details can be found in your car rental terms and conditions.

One Way Rentals from Allentown Airport

Pick up your car at Allentown Airport and drop it off in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or even New York City. One-way rentals are a popular way to explore the vast beauty of the American landscape without needing to return to your starting point, giving you more freedom for your road trip.

Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.

Driver Age Requirements in the USA

Can I rent a car in Allentown if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers require drivers to be at least 21 and apply a Young Driver Surcharge, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements vary by provider.

Can I rent a car in Allentown if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in the USA. Most rentals have no additional fees for seniors, though we always recommend checking the specific terms for your chosen vehicle.

What is the best time of year to explore Pennsylvania by car?

The Autumn months (September to November) offer spectacular "fall foliage" across the valley fells, turning the landscape into vibrant shades of amber and red. Spring and Summer offer beautiful, warm weather ideal for visiting historic sites or exploring the countryside, while the winter is perfect for experiencing festive local markets and cozy mountain fells.

Essential Tips for Driving in Pennsylvania

Local highways like US-22 are toll-free, but regional routes like the Pennsylvania Turnpike utilize a completely cashless tolling system; your provider will typically offer an electronic toll device or registration service billed directly to your card after your trip. Unless a sign says otherwise, you may turn right at a red light after coming to a complete stop. Remember that state law requires your headlights to be turned on whenever your windshield wipers are continuously active, and while driving through active work zones. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
