Meetings, games, family
Philadelphia is about 95 miles from Midtown Manhattan. The usual route crosses into New Jersey through the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel and follows the New Jersey Turnpike south before crossing the Delaware into Pennsylvania. Without heavy traffic, the drive takes a little under two hours.
The train is fast between stations, but a private car goes from your door to theirs. For a meeting in Center City, a visit to Penn or Drexel, a Phillies or Eagles game, or a family occasion in the suburbs, your chauffeur takes you straight there and you arrive without changing at 30th Street.
Business travellers often use the time in the car to prepare, take calls in private and arrive ready. Groups of up to 6 can travel together in an SUV for one price per vehicle.

When to set off
Leaving Manhattan between about 7 and 10 am, or between 3 and 7 pm on weekdays, adds time at the tunnels and on the Turnpike. For a morning meeting in Philadelphia, a 6 am pickup usually gets you there comfortably. On Friday afternoons and before holidays, expect the drive to take longer.
Your price is fixed when you book, so traffic changes your arrival time, not your fare. If you need to arrive by a set time, tell us in the notes and plan your pickup with room to spare.

NYC to Philadelphia questions

From Midtown Manhattan to Center City, a Sedan is $351 and an SUV is $466. The exact price for your addresses is shown before you book.
How long is the drive?
A little under 2 hours without heavy traffic. Weekday rush hours and Friday afternoons can add 30 to 60 minutes.
Is a car service better than the train?
It depends on your trip. A private car is door to door, carries your luggage, and one price covers everyone in the vehicle, which helps for groups, early starts and trips that don’t begin or end near a station.
Can you drive me to Philadelphia airport?
Yes. Enter PHL as your drop-off. The ride is priced by distance and the total is shown before you pay.
Can I book a return trip?
Yes. Book a second ride from Philadelphia to New York. If you will spend only a few hours there and want the same chauffeur to wait, an hourly booking may suit you better.
