    I am getting married in Elkins Park which is about 30 min away from center city Philadelphia where our guests will be staying. We want to rent a bus so that our guests don't have to worry about driving. Anyone know any reasonably priced companies that have either coach buses or school buses?

    Thank you all!

    Try Sague Bus located in Lafayette Hill. They are school buses. If you do...tell them Stephanie referred you as I'm friends with one of the owners.

    Transporation is very expensive though. We are getting one shuttle bus for 10 hours and it's going to be $800. This is through Bieber Bus Lines. They are in Kutztown and are driving to Phoenixville for our shindig.

    Good luck.

    I used Philadelphia Trolley works and they were fantastic. I rented both a trolley (holds 35 people) and a bus (holding 38 people) for 10 hours the day of my wedding. They not only shuttled everyone over, but made runs throughout the reception to bring guests back to the hotel as needed (the elderly guests left much earlier than the younger crowd). I think I paid $2,200 for both for the day. I also provided dinner to both drivers.

    I used King Limo which had reasonable prices for limo buses.

    We used Philly Transportation LLC to shuttle our guests between the hotel and the venue. The buses are standard yellow buses. They did two round trips each way, for $450.00. For Philly, that is remarkably cheap. We did a lot of research to find someone within our budget, and they were the least expensive. Their phone number is 215-842-1222.

    I called Philly Transportation LLC on Monkeygirl's recommendation and their prices were WAAAAAY lower than anyone else's. They quoted me $325 for one round trip.

    @Sloth- wow, that's even better! Aside from Philly Transportation which we used to shuttle our guests- I can also recommend another place- for the bridal party we used Limo Today- we got a white bus to take the bridal party to the wedding venue (we had to do our pics before the wedding), and they could not have been nicer or more professional. The driver from Limo Today was EXTRMELY kind and courteous to me and everyone in the bridal party. http://www.limotoday.com/ They even upgraded my bus at the last minute, free of charge. I highly recommend them as well.
