Philly to Atlantic City?
 

Any suggestions on the best way to get from the PHL airport to Atlantic City?

The most straitforward way would be to rent a car, and, for even two people, probably the least expensive.

If you don't want to rent a car, then you could take the R1 line to the Market East Station, walk the two blocks to the Philly Greyhound Terminal, then take the 551 NJTransit bus to Atlantic City.

NJ Transit also has hourly train service from Philadelphia right to Atlantic City.

From the Airport you just need to get yourself over to 30th Street Station....either with SEPTA or by taxi cab.

For the sake of completeness:

for the direct rail line between Philly and Atlantic City.

I would simply renting a car and driving the Atlantic City Express way from Philly to AC.

Last time, I flew in, as it was actually cheaper to fly to AC (via Philly) than to just fly to Philly, get off the plane & rent a car. And you wonder why all these airlines are in Bankruptcy ??

I use Airport Chariot car service. I've been using them for a few years and they always show up & the driver's are nice. It costs about $90 for the two of us, which to me seems a lot cheaper than the other companies I originally called especially since it is an hour drive to Philadelphia to Atlantic City. The number there is 609-748-3506 and they web address is www.airportchariot.com . Atlantic City just isn't the place where a rental car is needed.

Definitely use a car service, and make it A&C Transport, they rock. Much better than one of these 'discount' ones, and at the same price. Try 'em at www.actransportonline.com

I'm thinking they have already made the trip....(?)
