Driving & Exploring Lancaster, PA

Lancaster, Pennsylvania, often recognized for its picturesque farmland and vibrant Amish community, holds a unique place in American history. As the fourth oldest county in Pennsylvania and one of the oldest inland cities in the United States, Lancaster briefly served as the Capital of the United States on September 27, 1777, when Congress convened at the Lancaster County Courthouse. This makes Lancaster one of only nine cities to hold this distinction. The city is also home to the Lancaster Central Market, the oldest continuously operating farmers market in the United States. Adding to Lancaster's rich tapestry is its connection to James Buchanan, the 15th President, who resided in Wheatland, a country estate near Lancaster City. You can even visit the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery in nearby Lititz or catch a show at the Fulton Theatre, one of the oldest continuously operating theaters in the US.

Airport & Transit: For those flying into the area, the Lancaster Airport (LNS) is conveniently located near the city. To reach Therentalcars from the airport, head east on Airport Road, then merge onto PA-72 South. Follow PA-72 South to downtown Lancaster.

Local Guidelines: When renting a car in Pennsylvania, it's important to understand the state's insurance requirements. Accidents involving rental cars can raise questions about liability and coverage. In Pennsylvania, rental car companies must carry minimum liability insurance. However, depending on the circumstances of an accident, you might need to rely on your own personal car insurance, health insurance, or the rental company’s personal accident insurance. If you decline the rental company's damage coverage, your personal auto insurance will likely cover the expenses, subject to your policy's deductible. Your personal car insurance typically treats the rental car like your own insured vehicle, with the same coverages and restrictions.
