Philadelphia Enjoy in the Luxury of a Charter Bus
The City of Brotherly Love…the Cradle of Liberty…the Birthplace of America. In our storied history, there’s no city like Philadelphia. Visit Independence Hall, where the U.S. Constitution was debated and adopted, or see the Liberty Bell, the icon of American freedom. There’s a vibrant arts community in Philly, home to the famous Philadelphia sound, the world-renowned Philadelphia Museum of Art, and lots of top-tier live theatre and dance.
Philadelphia is an ideal city for a group outing, but it’s a big city. If you try to handle the details of a trip there, you’ll spend most of your time looking at the GPS, checking your watch or trying to find a place to park. There’s an easier way…with a charter bus from US Coachways. Relax with friends and family while we take care of everything.

Book a US Coachways Charter Bus for Any Event in Philadelphia
A charter bus rental will make your excursion to Philly better, regardless of why you’re going there:
Is a charter bus a good fit for business travel?
Absolutely. With a charter bus, because you’ll all arrive and depart together, you can more effectively schedule events. In addition, your coach is a perfect place for meetings or breakout sessions, either on the way or from your event.
Why take a charter bus to a concert, game or big event?
Stadium concerts and big games are experiences that are meant to be shared. On a charter bus, you’ll travel there and back with fellow fans, and you’ll also have your own designated driver.
Is a charter bus a good option for a student trip?
Yes. When you are taking students on an outing, your biggest concerns are safety and accountability. A charter bus provides both—you won’t have young drivers on the roads and you’ll always know where they are.
Should we book a charter bus to go to a large public event?
A charter bus will let you focus on the event, rather than worrying about traffic, parking, or finding the venue. In addition, you’ll travel with and get to meet like-minded people.
