Charter bus rentals in Philadelphia typically cost between $1,200 and $3,500 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, duration of the trip, and time of year.

We calculate each bus rental quote based on your pickup/dropoff location, group size, destination, itinerary, and vehicle type. Local Philly trips (weddings, shuttles, sports) are usually billed hourly with a 4–5-hour minimum. Longer trips—NYC, DC, Boston, Pittsburgh—are billed by mileage or day. Peak season (spring/fall) costs more. Extras like tolls, parking, driver lodging, and custom wraps aren’t included. Call 223-369-8810 with your exact trip details for precise, all-inclusive pricing.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit when you book your Philadelphia bus rental. This deposit secures your vehicle and is applied toward the total cost of your trip. The remaining balance must be paid before your departure date. Our reservation specialists will provide specific payment instructions and deadlines when you receive your quote. Be sure to review our payment and cancellation policies before finalizing your booking.

The final payment for your Philadelphia charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Specific payment deadlines will be provided by your reservation specialist when you book your trip.

If you have questions about your payment schedule, contact our team at 223-369-8810.

Yes, your quote includes a standard driver gratuity. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you’re welcome to offer an additional tip—most groups give 10–20% of the total rental cost. Gratuity can be paid in cash directly to the driver at the end of the trip or added to your final payment. Tipping is always appreciated and goes a long way toward recognizing your driver’s hard work.

Your reservation specialist can help coordinate lodging arrangements to ensure the driver has a comfortable place to rest.
