Bus Rentals in North Charleston, South Carolina

A charter bus is a large, private motorcoach rented by a group to travel together on a schedule and route they choose. Unlike public buses or fixed-route shuttles, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the customer, making it ideal for group transportation to events, tours, or multi-day trips. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable amenities like reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, and entertainment systems.

Charter Bus Company North Charleston offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in North Charleston and the entire Lowcountry region. Our fleet includes full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches (Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417), mid-size 35- to 40-passenger coaches (Van Hool CX35, Grech EG40), several models of 18- to 32-passenger minibuses (Grech Motors GM28/GM33, Turtle Top VT3, Federal Spirit), and 6- to 15-passenger sprinter vans (Grech Sprinter, Executive Coach Builders). Many vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver, custom wraps) and newer models come with upgraded interiors and advanced amenities. We can accommodate any group size from 6 to 56+ passengers.

Most full-size charter buses include plush reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, onboard WiFi, multiple flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system, USB and 110V power outlets at every row, and a full-size restroom. Additional amenities can include leatherette upholstery, tray tables, footrests, and Bluetooth audio. Larger coaches may offer optional streaming entertainment systems and custom lighting packages. Minibuses typically include cloth or vinyl seats, strong A/C, a basic sound system, and WiFi/power outlets on request. All vehicles have generous luggage space either in underfloor bays (motorcoaches) or rear cargo areas (minibuses/vans).

Yes, all our North Charleston charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches offer both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage baggage bays beneath the floor, making them ideal for groups traveling with lots of equipment or suitcases. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the undercarriage storage area and one smaller carry-on bag for the overhead compartment. This setup is perfect for airport transfers to Charleston International Airport, multi-day school trips, or sports teams traveling with gear. If your group has special luggage requirements—like musical instruments, trade show displays, or athletic equipment—just let us know, and we’ll make sure you have a bus with the right amount of storage.

On longer routes, we can provide a coach with an ADA-accessible restroom. Just let us know your accessibility needs when you request a quote, and we’ll match you with a suitable vehicle.

Several factors can influence the cost of a charter bus rental in North Charleston. The size and type of vehicle is a primary consideration—larger motorcoaches typically cost more than minibuses or sprinter vans. The distance and duration of the trip also play a significant role, with longer and multi-day trips incurring higher charges. Additional services such as tolls, parking, and driver accommodations can add to the overall cost. Seasonal demand, especially during major events or festivals, may also impact pricing.
