Group trips we plan
Philly Charters arranges charter buses, minibuses, school buses, Sprinter vans, and party buses for organized groups across Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania suburbs, South Jersey, and northern Delaware. Schools, colleges, senior centers, clubs, teams, and companies book with us because one local team handles the whole trip: the right vehicles for the headcount, a route built around real traffic and venue rules, and one quote with driver gratuity included.

Event guide →Why groups travel together
Moving a group by charter is about more than seats. Everyone arrives at the same time, no one hunts for parking at a stadium or museum, chaperones and coaches can count heads once at the door, and the cost per person is often lower than separate cars or rideshares once parking and tolls are counted. For schools and youth programs, a single vehicle keeps students together; for seniors, it means door-side drop-offs where venues allow and no driving home after a long day.
School and youth groups
Field trips to Independence National Historical Park, the Philadelphia Zoo, Parkway museums, and Valley Forge are the backbone of spring in the region. Longer days head to Lancaster County, Hershey, or New York City. Camps, scout troops, and youth programs book the same trips in summer. See school field trips and our school bus rental page.
Colleges and universities
The region's colleges book move-in and orientation shuttles, club and varsity team travel, Greek life formals, career fair shuttles, and commencement guest transportation. Student sections head to the Big 5 Classic at Xfinity Mobile Arena, and track teams arrive for the Penn Relays each April. See college and university groups.
Seniors, clubs, and adult groups
Senior centers, retirement communities, garden clubs, and social groups plan day trips to Longwood Gardens, Peddler's Village, Cape May, Atlantic City, the Philadelphia Flower Show, and holiday light tours. See senior and adult day trips.
Teams and fans
Youth, high school, club, and college teams travel to away games and tournaments with their gear underneath, and fans ride together to Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, and Subaru Park. See sports teams and tailgate buses.
Choosing the right vehicle for a group
Executive Sprinter vans carry 10 to 14 passengers. Minibuses handle 20 to 35, school buses are an economical choice for short local trips, and 56-passenger motorcoaches add reclining seats, luggage bays, and restrooms on most full-size coaches for longer days. For larger groups, we combine several vehicles on one booking. See the full fleet.
How group booking works
- Send the basics: date, headcount, pickup address, destination, and the times you need to arrive and leave.
- Get one quote: we recommend vehicles and send a single quote with driver gratuity included.
- Confirm the details: we confirm drop-off and pickup points, parking, and a day-of contact.
- Payment: the remaining balance is due 14 days before the trip and no later than 7 days before departure.
If your school, university, or organization needs vendor forms or other paperwork, tell us early and we will let you know what we can provide.
