Charter Bus Prices in Charleston

How much does a charter bus cost in Charleston? Charter bus prices in Charleston range from $120 to $500 per hour, depending on the size of the vehicle and the length of your trip. You can expect to pay between $1,200 and $3,000 per day for a minibus, while a full-size motorcoach will typically cost $1,500 to $4,000 per day. These rates include your driver and fuel, but do not cover parking fees or event-specific permits that may be required at venues like the North Charleston Coliseum.

Keep in mind that these are average price ranges, and your exact quote will depend on several factors. For example, a simple airport transfer to Charleston International Airport (CHS) will cost significantly less than a full-day wedding shuttle or a multi-day sports team charter.

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

+

Our fleet includes everything from sprinter vans and minibus options to full-size motorcoaches, so you can find exactly what you need for your group. If you're moving a smaller crew through downtown, a sprinter van or 15-passenger minibus is perfect for navigating tight streets and loading zones. For large events, school trips, or conferences, our full-size charter buses seat up to 56 passengers and include reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms-ideal for long-distance travel on I-26 or US-17.

We also offer ADA-accessible vehicles with features like wheelchair lifts and widened aisles to keep every passenger comfortable. Whether you need a simple airport shuttle or a custom fleet for a major event, we'll make sure your group gets there comfortably and on schedule.

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

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 charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This gives you the best chance to get you a vehicle that fits both your budget and your headcount. If your trip falls during peak season-like spring for school graduations and weddings at Magnolia Plantation or summer for family reunions at Folly Beach-the early bird rule is even more important because these dates are popular across South Carolina.

Keep in mind that securing your rental early means you can lock in today's prices before demand drives rates up. Our team is available 24/7/365 at 803-626-0870 to help you coordinate a custom itinerary around your group's schedule.
