Charleston, South Carolina Party Buses, Limos & Charter Coaches

Transparent Pricing in Charleston, SC

The first question every Charleston group asks: how much does this cost? Charleston rates are among the highest in South Carolina: $225–$450/hr for party buses; plantation wedding shuttles command premiums May–October. Every Bus2Ride quote is all-inclusive — base rate, fuel, gratuity, insurance, and your professional driver are rolled into one number. No surprise surcharges at checkout, no awkward tip envelope at the end of the night.

Limousine service in Charleston starts around $100/hr for a classic stretch and scales to $300+ for specialty vehicles. Coach buses quote at $150–$400/hr or $800–$1,500 for full-day charters. Split the cost among passengers and luxury group transport becomes surprisingly affordable: a 20-passenger party bus at $250/hr works out to $12.50 per person per hour.

Timing matters: Spoleto Festival (late May–mid June), wedding season (March–October), and Wine + Food Festival (March) are Charleston's peak demand periods. Booking early during peak windows locks in the best rate and widest vehicle selection.
