Allentown Group Travel
Allentown is the largest city in the Lehigh Valley, a region of three connected cities — Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton — with major employers, warehouses and distribution centers, several colleges, and a busy events calendar. Groups book a charter bus or minibus for airport arrivals at Lehigh Valley International, corporate visits and training groups, college tours, games and concerts downtown, Musikfest in Bethlehem each August, weddings, and day trips to Philadelphia or New York City.
Most Lehigh Valley routes use a few roads. I-78 runs along the south side of the valley toward Harrisburg in the west and New Jersey and New York to the east; US 22 cuts through the middle of the valley linking Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton; and the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Northeast Extension (I-476) runs north–south on the western edge, toward the Philadelphia suburbs and the Poconos. Because the three cities are close together, many group days include stops in more than one of them.
The valley's position between Philadelphia and New York shapes group travel too: some groups fly into a larger airport in either metro, and many Lehigh Valley schools, churches, and companies book day trips into those cities. Those runs are usually planned as a full-day charter with a fixed return time.
Elite Bus Rental USA arranges group transportation from Lehigh Valley International, downtown Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, the business parks along the highways, and nearby communities. For statewide trips, see Pennsylvania charter bus rental, or Philadelphia charter bus rental for trips south.

Airport, Events & Planning
These factors shape most Allentown group itineraries.
The valley's own airport, northeast of downtown Allentown, with a limited set of nonstop routes. Groups with flights only available elsewhere often fly into Philadelphia or the New York area and travel to the valley by charter.
Musikfest in Bethlehem each August brings large crowds and street closures, so book early and agree on drop-off and pickup points in advance.
Many days include Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton; listing every stop up front lets us plan one route instead of several separate transfers.
Snow and ice can affect timing on I-78 and the Northeast Extension between late fall and early spring; keep winter schedules flexible.

Pricing
When budgeting a Lehigh Valley trip, plan on roughly $1,300–$2,200 per day for a full-size 56-passenger charter bus and about $1,000–$1,400 per day for a minibus. Shorter jobs — an ABE transfer, a campus tour, an evening event — are typically billed hourly with a 4–5 hour minimum, and your driver is included in every charter quote.
From ~$90–$150 / hour
ABE pickups and small corporate teams under 15. Minimum hours may apply.
~$1,000–$1,400 / day
Up to 38 passengers — campus tours, site visits, and weddings.
~$1,300–$2,200 / day
Up to 56 passengers for city day trips, school groups, and cohorts.
These ranges are for planning, not a quote. In the Lehigh Valley, trips within the three cities are short and often fall under the hourly minimum, while day trips to Philadelphia or New York add distance, tolls, and parking or waiting time. Musikfest week, college graduation and move-in weekends, and wedding season reduce availability. A driver gratuity is customary, and your quote spells out the costs that apply.
