LEWES — Cape May–Lewes Ferry officials announced a partnership with Avis Budget Group on Thursday to operate car-rental locations at both the Cape May, New Jersey, and Lewes terminals.
The terminals’ Avis and Budget rental locations will serve both ferry riders and neighboring communities, beginning Monday.
“We’re excited to be able to offer more Avis and Budget cars for rent at ferry terminals in New Jersey and Delaware,” said Regina K. Zappone, local market district manager for the Philadelphia and tri-state area of Avis Budget Group. “Expansion at these key locations allows Avis Budget Group to help travelers explore new destinations and their own communities.”
Inside the Lewes terminal, the service counter will be adjacent to the sliding doors from the parking lot. The counter inside the Cape May terminal will be on the left, near the main terminal entrance.
Avis Budget has 10 parking spaces adjacent to each terminal for rental vehicles and 25 spots in the general parking area for additional inventory. Signs will be placed at these spots indicating they are for rental vehicles only.
“With the presence of Avis Budget, our foot passengers now have another transportation option to use to explore the resort communities on both sides of the Delaware Bay,” said Jen Shivers, assistant director of ferry operations, noting that shuttle bus services on both sides have fixed destinations. “We also believe it’s a positive for locals who are looking to rent a vehicle.”
Reservations can be made at 800-352-7900, via avis.com or budget.com or by calling the terminals directly.
The local Avis phone numbers are 609-305-6867 (Cape May) and 313-9464 (Lewes), while the local Budget numbers are 609-305-6913 (Cape May) and 313-9724 (Lewes).
The Lewes location will be open year-round seven days a week. The hours are 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on weekends.
The Cape May location will be open seasonally, from May 1 through Sept. 30. The hours of operation are weekdays from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. On the weekend, the Cape May site will be available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
