15- to 50-Passenger Party Buses, Minibuses & Charter Buses in Charleston

charleston 15 to 50 passenger party buses minibuses and charter buses in charleston

A group trip around the Lowcountry is so much better when you have a vehicle with the exact features your group wants! Through our network, you can book 15- to 50-passenger party buses loaded with wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lighting, a Bluetooth sound system, flat-screen TVs, and an onboard bar for bachelor and bachelorette nights! For smaller groups navigating the narrow historic streets south of Broad Street, an 11- to 14-passenger sprinter van with a driver or a compact 20-passenger minibus offers reclining seats, crisp A/C, WiFi, and overhead storage. Bringing a big crowd or heading out of town? A full-size 56-passenger charter bus gives everyone plenty of legroom, power outlets, an onboard restroom, and spacious undercarriage luggage bays! You choose the bus and amenities that work for YOUR headcount, and your driver handles all the traffic on US-17 and I-26.

Effortless Charleston Charter Buses for Your Next Private Event

Planning a private outing, concert trip, or festival group ride in the Holy City has never been easier! Skip the caravan of cars, avoid 3x post-show rideshare surge pricing, and keep your whole group together from the first pickup to the final drop-off. Keep in mind that the City of Charleston Tourism Ordinance strictly regulates motorcoaches in the historic district below Calhoun Street, requiring buses to use designated perimeter loading zones and prohibiting engine idling! When visiting the Charleston City Market, your driver can obtain a quick-stop loading permit to drop your group at the designated motorcoach zone at the Charleston Visitor Center Bus Shed at 375 Meeting Street before parking in the oversized spaces on the upper deck of the Aquarium Garage at 24 Calhoun Street. Heading to a big concert at Credit One Stadium on Daniel Island? Your bus can take I-526 to Seven Farms Drive and drop everyone off at the designated group zone near Island Park Drive, so your whole group steps off right near the gates together!

Seamless Charleston Charter Buses for Your Next Family Adventure

You don't have to stress over parking garages or losing relatives in traffic when you book a private bus for your Charleston family reunion or vacation! A full-day or multi-stop package keeps one dedicated bus and driver with your family from your morning coffee to your evening dinner cruise. Starting your day at the South Carolina Aquarium at 100 Aquarium Wharf? Your driver can pull right into the circular driveway off Calhoun Street for easy curbside unloading, then stage at the Aquarium Garage bus deck until your family is ready to roll! If you're taking the ferry out to Fort Sumter National Monument from Liberty Square right next door, your group can hop off at that same Calhoun Street turnaround and walk straight to the dock. Afterwards, ride over the Ravenel Bridge on US-17 North to Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum at 40 Patriots Point Road in Mount Pleasant, where your bus can drop everyone near the ticket window and wait in the dedicated oversized bus lot on site!

Hotel and Airport Transfers in Charleston

Through Busrentalcompanycharleston.com, getting your out-of-town guests from the runway to their hotel room is completely stress-free! When flying into Charleston International Airport (CHS) at 5500 International Boulevard, your Charleston airport shuttle will stage in the commercial vehicle holding lot before pulling up to the dedicated Ground Transportation charter bus curb outside the east end of Baggage Claim for a quick, coordinated pickup. From there, your driver can take I-26 East straight downtown to drop your group and their luggage at the Mulberry Street motorcoach loading zone for The Charleston Place, or pull into the John Street port-cochère at The Dewberry Charleston across from Marion Square! Even if you have last-minute flight delays or need a same-day transfer to cruise terminals or beach resorts on Kiawah Island, our confirmation department verifies every detail after you book so your ride is ready when you land.
