In brief

  • True North VIP is our top NYC to Philadelphia pick: it lists Philadelphia, Delaware and Philadelphia International (PHL) in its coverage, with all-in pricing that includes tolls. Blacklane and Artisan Limo offer city-to-city rides, and Black Car NYC offers city-to-city transfers.

A private car from New York to Philadelphia is door to door, with no train schedule to work around. Fewer services publish this route than you might expect. These four do.

How we ranked

We compared each company only on what it publishes on its own website, checked November 8, 2026. Where a company does not publish something, we say so rather than guess. The criteria, in order of weight:

  1. Price transparency — whether the price you see includes taxes, tolls and fees.
  2. Airport waiting included — how long the car waits after landing before extra charges.
  3. Coverage — the boroughs, suburbs, states and airports served.
  4. Published rates and minimums — whether hourly rates and example fares are public.
  5. Fleet range and track record — vehicle choice, licensing and years in business.

The bottom line

  • For NYC to Philadelphia or PHL, tolls included: True North VIP.
  • If you want to book in one app: Blacklane.
  • For a group: Artisan Limo.
