Charter Bus Prices in Charleston

How much does a charter bus cost in Charleston? Charter bus prices in Charleston, South Carolina are $150 to over $400 per hour, or $1,200-$3,000+ per day depending on bus size (18-56+ passengers), demand, and trip duration. Full-size coaches (50-56 seats) typically cost $170-$500+ per hour, while 18-35 passenger minibuses range from $120-$450+ per hour. You'll find the best rates by booking your charter bus at least 30 days in advance-especially if your trip falls during peak tourism season between March and May.

For a quick ballpark estimate, a single-day local event like a wedding shuttle at Magnolia Plantation will typically run between $1,500 and $3,500, while a multi-day military base transfer at Joint Base Charleston may cost anywhere from $4,000 to $8,000 depending on the mileage and hourly minimums. Long-distance trips across the state, such as a charter bus rental to Columbia, will generally fall on the higher end of that range due to increased fuel costs and driver accommodations. Our sprinter vans accommodate up to 15 passengers and are a great alternative for smaller groups looking to save on transportation costs. Within minutes, you'll receive an all-inclusive quote that details every cost associated with your rental-no hidden fees, no surprises.

Sprinter vans (8-14 passengers) are a versatile choice for airport transfers or business travel, offering easy access, high ceilings, and WiFi in a compact vehicle.

What types of vehicles do you offer in Charleston, South Carolina?

We offer a wide range of vehicles to fit any group size or event. Our minibus options seat 15-35 passengers and are great for small groups moving through downtown Charleston. Full-size motorcoaches accommodate up to 56 passengers and include premium amenities like onboard restrooms-perfect for large events at the Charleston Area Convention Center or school trips to the South Carolina Aquarium.

What types of events & destinations do you frequently serve in Charleston, South Carolina?

+

Our team has experience providing transportation for everything from large-scale festivals like the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition to intimate campus tours at the College of Charleston. We regularly coordinate airport shuttles at Charleston International Airport (CHS)-where we drop passengers right at the Arrivals or Departures curb-and provide hotel transfers for groups staying downtown. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we helped essential work crews travel safely with private bus rentals, and now we're back to moving wedding parties, corporate teams, and school groups across the Holy City.

We've handled hospital staff shuttles at MUSC Health University Hospital (171 Ashley Ave, Charleston, SC 29425) and visiting football team transportation at Johnson Hagood Stadium (211 Fishburne St, Charleston, SC 29403). Whether it's a bachelorette weekend in the French Quarter, a family reunion at Waterfront Park (1 Vendue Range, Charleston, SC 29401), or a construction crew commute, we've done it all.

How far in advance should I book my Charleston, South Carolina bus rental?

+

As a general rule of thumb, it's best to book your transportation at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This ensures you get exactly what you need before the local calendar fills up. Major annual events like the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in February, Cooper River Bridge Run in April, and Spoleto Festival USA in May can cause massive surges in demand, so planning ahead is crucial.

Last-minute reservations are sometimes possible, but your options may be limited, especially if your trip falls during the busy spring wedding season or coincides with College of Charleston and The Citadel graduation weekends. If your group is traveling between September and November-the peak of hurricane season-give us a call anyway. We'll help you coordinate a flexible plan so your charter bus can weather any potential storm with you.
