The airport is only seven miles from the center of Philadelphia, making transportation to and from simple and efficient. One company that offers shuttle services is Lady Liberty Shuttle. Offering Philadelphia airport transportation from University City, Center City, and other neighborhoods, this is an affordable and comfortable way to travel to the airport. For roughly $10 to $12 per person, you can travel to the airport with one of the Philadelphia airport shuttles. If you want to avoid parking fees and a taxi fare, which is typically a flat rate of $28.50, then a group shuttle may be the transportation option for you.
