Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The cost of renting a charter bus in Philadelphia depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, length of your trip, and time of year. In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,200 to $3,500 per day for a standard 56-passenger charter bus. Smaller options like minibuses (15-35 seats) typically range from $700 to $2,000 per day. Premium vehicles such as party buses or entertainer coaches may cost more. For multi-day trips, we usually quote by the day and include mileage. Local trips under 4-5 hours may be billed hourly with a minimum. Major events, peak spring/fall weekends, and last-minute bookings can increase rates. To get an exact price, call our team with your passenger count, itinerary, and any special requests—we’ll give you a fast, free quote tailored to your needs.

Philadelphia Minibus Company offers a wide range of bus types to accommodate groups of all sizes and needs across Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (50-56 passengers) ideal for large groups traveling to places like the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Lincoln Financial Field, or school campuses such as Temple University and UPenn. These buses come equipped with amenities like reclining seats, restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and luggage bays. For mid-sized groups, we provide minibuses and sprinter vans that seat 15 to 35 passengers—perfect for corporate shuttles between Center City offices, hotel transfers, or private tours of historic sites in Old City and Independence Hall. We also offer specialty vehicles such as party buses with wraparound seating and lighting, entertainer coaches with lounges and bunks for touring bands, ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, and luxury coaches with leather seats and premium finishes. No matter your destination—from sports games at Wells Fargo Center to weddings in Fairmount Park or casino trips to Parx—we have the right bus for your group.

Yes, you can rent a bus for a one-way trip with Philadelphia Minibus Company. We regularly provide one-way charters to and from major airports like PHL, EWR, JFK, and BWI; cruise terminals in Cape Liberty or Baltimore; college drop-offs at Penn State or Rutgers; and city-to-city transfers between Philadelphia, New York, Washington DC, Atlantic City, or Pittsburgh. One-way pricing is often higher than round-trip because the bus must return empty unless we have another job lined up, but it’s still more affordable and convenient than flying or taking multiple trains if you have a large group! Just tell us your exact pickup and drop-off locations, schedule, and any stops along the way—we’ll handle the rest.

Most of our charter buses and minibuses come equipped with free onboard WiFi and power outlets at every seat so passengers can stay connected throughout the trip. This is especially popular for corporate groups heading to conventions at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, student tours visiting museums like the Franklin Institute or Philadelphia Museum of Art, and sports fans traveling to Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, or Flyers games. If you need guaranteed high-speed internet for video streaming, Zoom calls, or large file downloads, let us know when booking so we can assign a bus with upgraded cellular routers and extra bandwidth. Some older models may not have these features by default, but we can usually add them upon request. USB charging ports are also available on many vehicles. Stay online, charge devices, and make the most of your travel time with Philadelphia Minibus Company!

Yes, we offer several charter bus models with onboard restrooms, making them ideal for long-distance trips, tours, and large group transportation. These restrooms are typically located at the rear of the bus and include a toilet and handwashing station. Having a restroom onboard reduces the need for frequent stops, ensuring your trip stays on schedule and passengers remain comfortable throughout the journey. If you require a bus with a restroom, please specify this feature when requesting a quote so we can match you with the right vehicle.

Yes, Philadelphia Minibus Company provides ADA-compliant, wheelchair-accessible buses in Philadelphia and statewide. These vehicles feature lifts or ramps for easy boarding, securement areas for mobility devices, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms on larger coaches. We regularly serve schools, senior centers, disability advocacy groups, and event planners who need inclusive transportation to venues like the Pennsylvania Convention Center, sports arenas, hospitals, and parks. If anyone in your group uses a wheelchair, scooter, walker, or has limited mobility, let us know when booking so we can assign a fully accessible bus and accommodate any special requests. We believe everyone deserves equal access to safe, comfortable, and reliable group travel.

Yes, you are welcome to bring food and non-alcoholic beverages onboard our buses. We recommend using spill-proof containers and packing snacks that are easy to eat while seated. Please clean up any trash before the end of your trip to help us keep the bus tidy for future passengers. If you plan to bring a large amount of food or have specific catering needs, let us know in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements. Alcohol consumption may be permitted on some charters with prior approval—ask your representative about our policy if this applies to your group.

If your trip runs late, don’t worry – your bus will stay with you until the itinerary is complete. We understand that events like weddings, concerts, games, or tours can run over schedule due to traffic, weather, or other delays. Just keep us updated if you anticipate a significant change so we can adjust plans accordingly. Additional hours beyond the contracted time may incur overtime charges, which will be outlined in your agreement. It’s always best to build some buffer into your schedule when booking. With Philadelphia Minibus Company, you’ll never be stranded or rushed—we’re committed to seeing every job through from start to finish.

We recommend booking your charter bus as early as possible to ensure the best availability and rates, especially during peak seasons like spring (April-June) and fall (September-November) when demand is highest for school trips, sports tournaments, and weddings. For large events or multi-day tours, reserve at least 3-6 months in advance. Summer camps, graduation ceremonies, and holiday parties also fill up quickly. If you need a bus on short notice, we can often accommodate last-minute requests thanks to our large fleet, but options may be limited. Once you have your headcount, itinerary, and budget, contact us for an instant quote—we can lock in your reservation with a signed contract and deposit.
