Local planning
Where we collect you. Columbia requests most often begin in The Vista, Five Points, Congaree Vista and Shandon. Give us a street address or a named lot entrance rather than the neighborhood — drive time and where the bus can actually sit both hang on the exact curb.
Common destinations. Destinations named for Columbia include Williams-Brice Stadium, Colonial Life Arena, Koger Center for the Arts, EdVenture Children's Museum and Columbia Museum of Art. Each one loads differently. Ask the venue where a bus can wait, and agree a meeting corner in case the curb is taken when you come out.
Dates that fill first. Local calendars around USC Gamecocks football, Soda City Market (Saturdays), Famously Hot New Year and Columbia Food & Wine Festival concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. If your trip lands on one of these, book sooner than you think you need to.
Itineraries groups ask about. Five Points bar crawl; Vista nightlife loop; Williams-Brice gameday shuttle; CAE Airport to downtown hotels. Give us the full sequence rather than the highlights; the last stop is usually the one that moves the number.
Airport groups. Columbia trips connect to CAE. Send flight numbers and bag counts; the meeting point is the commercial-vehicle zone, not the passenger curb.
Beyond Columbia. Trips that continue into Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant or Rock Hill are quoted as one itinerary; see the South Carolina guide.
Williams-Brice Stadium, Colonial Life Arena and USC Gamecocks football: the start time fixes arrival, the exit crowd fixes pickup. Agree one meeting corner and give the driver a 30–45 minute cushion after the final whistle.
River Rat Brewery, Steel Hands Brewing and Five Points bar crawl: fix the stop order and last pickup time first, name one group contact for the driver, and check each venue's group entry policy.
Columbia Food & Wine Festival, South Carolina State Fair and Main Street Latin Festival: read the organizer's street-closure notice before locking a route, and meet outside the heaviest foot traffic with a firm departure deadline.

Pick by confirmed headcount, then by luggage and trip length. Your contract names the exact vehicle, its seating capacity and what is on board.

| 14–24 passengers | Mid-size party bus | The most-requested size on our own sites; standing room, sound, and a restroom-free footprint that fits most venue curbs. | See party buses |
| 24–40 passengers | Large party bus or mini coach | Wedding shuttles, corporate transfers, and big birthday groups that need everyone on one vehicle. | Compare large buses |
| 40+ passengers | Full-size coach bus | Luggage bays, restrooms, and highway comfort for long days, tournaments, and multi-city itineraries. | See coach buses |
