Philadelphia Airport (PHL)

Trips to Center City Philadelphia, the city’s central business district, are subject to a flat fare within the boundaries established by the local transportation authority. Trips to other destinations are metered, with any applicable surcharges.

Uber and Lyft use Zone 7, also located along South Commercial Road near baggage claim. Passengers should confirm their assigned pickup location and vehicle details in the app.

Limousine and private car services have separate designated pickup areas. Travelers should use official transportation zones and avoid unsolicited offers.

Pickup locations and service information are available on the official PHL taxi and limousine information page.

Trains generally run every 30 minutes, with service operating from early morning until approximately midnight. Schedules may vary depending on the day and operating conditions.

The airport has four rail stations:

• Terminal A-East: also serves passengers traveling to or from Terminal A-West.
• Terminal B: connected to the terminal by pedestrian walkways.
• Terminals C and D: a shared station serving both terminals.
• Terminal E: also serves passengers using Terminal F.

The stations are connected to the terminal buildings by clearly marked walkways and provide accessibility features.

Current routes, schedules and fares are available on the official SEPTA website.

• Route 37: connections to South Philadelphia.
• Route 108: service to 69th Street Transportation Center and other destinations west of Philadelphia.

Hotel shuttles, off-airport parking buses and prearranged transportation services are also available, with pickup areas marked throughout the ground transportation zones.

Current routes and schedules can be checked on the official SEPTA website.

Passengers should proceed to Zone 2 on Arrivals Road, outside baggage claim, and board the shuttle operated by their rental car provider.
