Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Summerville, South Carolina

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike a public bus or pre-set tour, a charter bus operates exclusively for your party—whether that’s a sports team, corporate group, wedding party, school, or any other organization—making pickups, drop-offs, and stops according to your exact needs. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and come equipped with amenities for comfort, productivity, and entertainment on longer trips.

Charter Bus Company Summerville offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Summerville and the Lowcountry region, including vehicles from 15 to 56+ seats. Our lineup includes 15-, 20-, 28-, 30-, and 35-passenger minibuses; 40-, 45-, 50-, 55-, and 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches; party buses for special events; and several specialty vehicles. We carry multiple models from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4500), Setra (S417), Temsa, Grech, and Turtle Top. Most vehicles are available in black, white, silver, or custom colors, and many offer upgraded interiors with leather seating, wood-look flooring, or executive finishes.

Our Summerville charter buses include standard amenities like reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful climate control, overhead parcel racks, and large undercarriage luggage bays. Most mid- and full-size coaches feature onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at every row, and flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players for entertainment or presentations. Larger models offer a PA system with a cordless microphone, forward-facing video screens, and optional Bluetooth audio. Executive coaches add leather upholstery, wood-look flooring, folding tray tables, and up to two full-size restrooms. Additional amenities can include six-speaker sound systems, HDMI inputs for gaming consoles or laptops, and optional beverage coolers. Party buses and some specialty vehicles feature wraparound seating, LED accent lighting, upgraded sound systems, and hardwood-style floors for social events.

Yes, all our Summerville charter buses have ample luggage space to accommodate your group’s belongings. Full-size motorcoaches are equipped with large undercarriage (belly) bays that can hold standard suitcases, duffel bags, or equipment cases—typically one large bag per passenger. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks run the length of the bus for carry-on items, backpacks, or smaller bags. For most trips, each passenger can bring one full-size bag for the luggage bay and one carry-on for the overhead compartment. Minibuses have smaller rear cargo areas or extended trunks but still offer both interior and exterior storage for luggage. If you’re traveling with bulky items like sports gear, musical instruments, or trade show materials, let us know in advance so we can assign a vehicle with sufficient cargo space.

Several factors affect the cost of renting a charter bus in Summerville: the type and size of vehicle, trip duration, mileage, time of year, and any special requests or add-ons. Larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller, basic models. Peak seasons—such as spring and fall for school trips or summer for weddings—can drive up prices due to high demand. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging on overnight trips, or custom branding. Local events like the Flowertown Festival, Spoleto Festival USA, or major sporting events can also impact availability and rates.
