Sorry it took me so long to get back to you about your transportation question from last week.  I ended up working from home the second half of the week, and my notes were in my office at work.Here are the 3 places that I called.  I know that these companies serve York, but I guess you're closer to Harrisburg/Hershey.  I don't think that should be a problem, but make sure to let them know when you call.Unique Limousine - 800-513-3993F&S Transportation - 717-266-6418Red Lion Bus Company 717-244-4591I think we are going to use F&S and just rent a van and get some one we know to drive it to shuttle our guests from their hotel to the venue.  That is way cheaper than using a driver from one of these companies.Let me know if you have any other questions about this.  Hope this helps.

Thanks Maggie! Did get a pretty nice quote from Secrets Limousine which you might want to check out, but I think we will end up renting a van and paying my friend's son (he's 17) to drive the shuttle. Much less expensive, and works just as well:)Thanks for the idea and info!

sorry, im going to butt in. grace- you may want to be careful having your friends son drive if he is only 17. if you're planning on having him drive past 11, he cannot under a cinderella license. my friends sister was going to DD her bachelorette party until they realized that she couldnt drive past 11. i'd hate to see you guys get pulled over and the kid get in trouble. i'd like to think a police officer would be understanding on your wedding day, but who knows. and that would be a big bummer!

Thanks stees-I didn't know about the cinderella law. I am from IL and we have a similar "curfew" law, but as long as you are with an adult over the age of 18, you are okay. I am not sure, but I think her son will be 18 by the time of the wedding- I will check before making plans.

Looks like if he is over 17.5, he may have a full-fledged license:Pennsylvania's version requires newly hatched 16-year-olds to first get a learner's permit by taking a written and vision test. Then they wait at least six months -- during which they must spend 50 hours of practice driving with an adult -- before taking a driver's license test. Then, if they pass that road test, they will get a "junior" license -- or what driving instructors commonly refer to as the "Cinderella" license, which prohibits any driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. After one year, the driver is eligible for a regular license after passing a state-approved driver's training course, or will automatically receive a driver's license after turning 18.I'll be checking into it.

this just shows my age haha. when i got my license it was until we were 18, it very well could have changed since then! to be safe, i'd probably just call PennDOT and ask.
