Frequently Asked Questions about Philadelphia Charter Bus Rentals
Do charter buses have storage space, WiFi, and other amenities?
Yes! You can book a bus that has overhead storage, undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, power outlets, a PA system, or an onboard restroom. When you call to book, your rep will make sure you have all of the amenities you need on your Philadelphia bus rental.
Can I drive my Philadelphia charter bus rental?
We do not permit renters to drive their charter buses, even if they have a valid CDL. Each bus rental comes with an experienced, professional driver who will follow your itinerary and keep your group safe throughout your Philly trip!
Are there any restrictions on charter buses in Philadelphia?
Since Philadelphia is a major tourist destination, there are restrictions on charter buses, specifically in the Historic District. Charter buses are only allowed to load and unload passengers in designated areas. These leading zones can only be occupied for 10 to 15 minutes. A central loading zone can be found in the historic District at The Independence Transportation Center. Individual museums and attractions have their own specified loading areas. Read through this motorcoach and bus regulation guide before embarking on your trip!
Where can charter buses park in Philadelphia?
Charter buses are not allowed to park on the street in Philadelphia and the city can be quite strict about parking regulations. If you’re lodging or visiting sites in the Center City or Historic District, you’ll find overnight parking options at the Callowhill Bus Center and the Autopark at Old City. Be sure to review the Philadelphia Motorcoach Guide to learn more about parking fees, in and out privileges, and overnight parking options.
Where can my charter bus pick up my group at Philadelphia International Airport?
There is a designated area for charter buses and motorcoaches to meet passengers at Philadelphia International. Follow signs for Ground Transportation and you’ll find your charter bus in Zone 8. Please be aware that your driver will not be allowed to idle in the pickup zone while waiting for your group.
Philadelphia Charter Bus Rentals for Private Events
Ally Charter Bus offers private charter bus rentals in Philadelphia for all occasions. No matter what your private event is, a charter bus rental has plenty of added benefits. A charter bus rental works around your schedule and itinerary, as opposed to public transit, which is crowded and limited to where it can go, or rideshares, which leave you waiting for someone to be available and are subject to sudden and unexpected surge fees.
No matter the occasion, we have the right bus rental for all your group transportation needs. Rent a Philadelphia wedding shuttle bus that will be there for you at every step of the process—from serving as a designated driver at the bachelor party, to taking your loved one safely home after the big event. A sports shuttle bus rental can take you and your football fans to your next Eagles games, taking the wheel so you can pregame in the bus on the way and dropping you off right at the front of Lincoln Financial Stadium. Ally also offers safe, discreet charter bus rentals in Philadelphia for church and religious events. Just give us a call at 215-392-4606 with your trip details, and we can get you the right Philadelphia bus rental for your event.
Book a Philadelphia Corporate Shuttle Bus Rental
When it comes to corporate events like conferences and meetings, it’s critical that you and your employees are running according to schedule. And when everybody is taking their own car to an event, unexpected snags can happen like people getting lost, not being able to find parking, or even showing up at the wrong venue by accident. Imagine needing to pick up an important client from the Philadelphia International Airport, and you get completely lost trying to find them, souring first impressions right off the bat.
With a corporate bus rental in Philadelphia from Ally, you eliminate all these problems. All your employees will be in one place, ensuring nobody gets lost or left behind, and they will enjoy comfortable reclining seats and complimentary WiFi on the way. Plus, with a charter bus rental, none of your employees need to arrive stressed from fighting Philadelphia traffic, and will have time for bonding and brainstorming sessions during the ride with their fellow coworkers. A trained and professional bus driver will have your itinerary handy and will make sure you and your group end up where you are supposed to be, when you are supposed to be there.
