WHO WE ARE
Welcome to Philly Time Machine Rentals, where childhood time travel dreams come to life.
The story began at Universal Studios in the 90s, where the iconic DeLorean captivated a 4-year-old Steve — sparking a lifelong passion. Now, that fantasy is a reality.
Detail and authenticity define us. Working with those who restored the film's original DeLorean, our Time Machine mirrors the original's nuances with over 1,000 hours of build time. Stainless steel shines, flux capacitor captivates — the film's magic, embodied.
More than a business, we embody a lifelong dream. Events are chances to share that dream — weddings, corporate events, comic-cons, proms, film shoots, or simply defying convention.
As we continue to expand our horizons, we have partnered with fellow Time Machine builders and owners to offer NATIONWIDE availability!
Beyond private events, the car has earned a reputation that speaks for itself. Steve's DeLorean has been one of the promotional vehicles for Back to the Future: The Musical — both during its Broadway run in New York City and on the U.S. National Tour from North Carolina to Connecticut. Closer to home, it has appeared with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade, and alongside multiple celebrities.
"Your time travel fascination fuels us. Let's make your fantasies reality — one DeLorean Time Machine event at a time."
— STEVEN V. LAYDEN, FOUNDER

"I can't express the joy and fun Philly Time Machine made for my Son's prom — he was the coolest guy at school. He literally took my son from the promenade to home then to prom and talked to my son the whole way! He gave my son and his entire family great memories forever! THANKS PHILLY TIME MACHINE!"
— DREW KELLY
"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Steve was not only very professional but very down to earth. I've sat in a screen-used car and a few others — every detail of the Philly Time Machine was spot on! Plenty of picture opportunities. My son will never forget this birthday. Thank you!"
