Philadelphia Airport Shuttle & Car Service

Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is located about 7 miles from Center City, with typical travel times ranging from 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. While the distance is short, congestion along I-95 and the Schuylkill Expressway can quickly impact arrival and departure timing, especially during peak hours, major events, and weekday rush periods.

Pre-booking your PHL airport transportation helps avoid last-minute delays and limited availability when flights arrive in waves. GO Airport Shuttle provides both shared ride and private transportation with coordinated pickups directly from your terminal. Whether you’re heading into Center City, University City, downtown Philly or the surrounding suburbs, scheduling your ride ensures a vehicle will be ready to go when you are.

Pricing varies based on distance, service type, and number of passengers traveling. Shared rides are generally more affordable, but availability can be limited and they do take longer, while private vehicles provide a direct route at a fixed price. 

Rates are all inclusive with no additional fees or surge pricing. To determine your fare, use our secure, user-friendly reservation system.

Advance booking is recommended, especially during busy travel periods. It ensures availability and allows you to lock in your rate before arriving at the airport.

Travelers arriving at PHL often compare multiple transportation options. The right choice depends on timing, group size, and how much flexibility you need.

Shared ride airport shuttles are typically the most cost-effective option, especially for solo travelers or small groups. They’re pre-arranged, which helps avoid long waits during peak arrival periods.

Private car service offers direct, non-stop transportation with a set pickup time. This is a strong option for business travelers, families, or anyone looking to move quickly without additional stops.

Rideshare services are widely available at PHL, but pricing can increase during busy travel periods, weather events, or late-night arrivals. Wait times can also vary depending on driver availability.

Taxis are available at designated stands outside each terminal, though pricing is metered and can fluctuate based on traffic conditions.

Pre-booking your transportation with GO Airport Shuttle provides a clear rate upfront and guarantees your ride is scheduled before you arrive.

Proceed to baggage claim and follow the signs for ground transportation.  Head towards the Commercial Transportation Roadway and locate Zone 6.  Then follow the instructions on your confirmation email to connect with your driver.

GO Airport Shuttle operators use flight monitoring software to track your status so we’ll know if there is a travel disruption.  However, we strongly recommend you contact our office as soon as you are aware of a delay or flight cancellation so that we can update your reservation.

Prepaid reservations cancelled more than 24 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up time will be refunded. Cancellations made less than 24 hours prior to pick-up are not refundable.
