Party Bus Myrtle Beach has been handling group transportation across the Lowcountry since 2011 — more than a decade of game-day runs up I-526, wedding shuttles looping between Mount Pleasant hotels and downtown Charleston venues, and prom groups cruising the coast. Our 24/7 reservation team knows the roads, the venues, and the event calendar well enough to anticipate what your group needs before you ask. When you call, a real person picks up — ready to build an itinerary around your headcount, your pickup address, and your stops.
We give you exact, all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds — no hidden charges waiting at the end. That means you can budget honestly and stop worrying about what the final number will be. Our fleet covers every group size, from a 14-passenger Sprinter limo for an intimate bridal party pickup to a 56-passenger charter bus for a company-wide event at the Charleston Area Convention Center.
Whatever brings your crew together in the Mount Pleasant area, there is a vehicle in our network sized right for it. Call 854-233-7065 or use the online quote tool now.
Our network includes 14-passenger Sprinter limos, Sprinter vans, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. One quick call to 854-233-7065 matches your headcount to the right vehicle — you never pay for seats your group isn't filling.
For groups who want the celebration to start on the ride over, our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come with a full-length bar, wraparound perimeter seating, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, and flat-panel TVs. Sprinter limos carry smaller groups in premium leather with USB charging at every seat and tinted privacy windows — the right call for a bridal party run or a VIP corporate pickup at Charleston International.
Full-size charter buses step up with reclining seats, overhead storage, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, an onboard restroom, and undercarriage luggage bays — ideal for long hauls to Columbia or Charlotte, school field trips to the South Carolina Aquarium, or convention shuttles where presentation materials need secure storage on the way in. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available; just let us know before the departure date.

Party Bus Myrtle Beach pricing is all-inclusive and delivered in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact number before you ever commit. Here is what the Mount Pleasant market currently looks like: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day.
Pricing moves with the date, mileage, and vehicle type. Peak windows — prom season (April–May), Spoleto Festival USA (late May–early June), and holiday weekends on the Grand Strand — tend to push rates upward and thin out availability fast. Lock in your vehicle as soon as your headcount is final.

The Lowcountry has no shortage of things to do — and no shortage of ways the logistics can fall apart. US-17 backs up through the Wando corridor on Friday afternoons. The Ravenel Bridge is a single-span bottleneck that turns a 10-minute drive into 40 minutes after a Riverdogs sellout.
Parking on East Bay Street during a concert night at the Music Farm costs more than some people budget for the whole evening. These are not hypotheticals — they are what happens when a group tries to self-coordinate across multiple cars in the Charleston metro.
A Mount Pleasant party bus rental rolls all of that into one flat rate, one pickup, and one drop-off. No caravan logistics. No designated-driver argument.
No group text about which parking garage to use. Our reservation team builds the route around your stops — whether that is a wine tasting at Irvin-House Vineyards on Wadmalaw Island, a pregame at a Shem Creek bar, and a Stingrays game at the North Charleston Coliseum — and confirms the plan for each venue so your group walks in on time. Since 2011 we have coordinated thousands of trips across South Carolina.
That is the difference between guessing and knowing. Call 854-233-7065.
From airport transfers and concert nights to wedding shuttles and field trips, Party Bus Myrtle Beach handles group transportation for every occasion across Mount Pleasant, Charleston, and the surrounding Lowcountry. Whatever brings your group together, we have a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 854-233-7065 to get moving.
Charleston International Airport (CHS) (5500 International Blvd, North Charleston, SC 29418) sits roughly 14 miles from downtown Mount Pleasant via I-526 West and US-17. On normal days that is a 20- to 25-minute drive. On a Friday afternoon in peak tourism season — or any morning when an I-526 incident blocks the Mark Clark Expressway — it becomes unpredictable fast.
For group pickups at CHS, charter buses wait at the Ground Transportation curb on the Arrivals level. Have your group coordinator collect everyone's luggage at baggage claim, then call our team once the full group is together and ready curbside — do not call for the bus before everyone is assembled. We recommend reviewing the official CHS ground transportation page before your travel date to confirm the current commercial vehicle pickup lane.
For cruise groups connecting through Charleston Cruise Terminal (196 Concord St, Charleston, SC 29401) after landing at CHS, one charter bus handles the 7-mile transfer directly to the pier — no shared shuttles, no unchecked luggage on a public van. Call 854-233-7065 to reserve your Mount Pleasant airport shuttle.
Shem Creek is the natural starting line for any bachelorette night in Mount Pleasant — a strip of waterfront bars and restaurants along Coleman Boulevard where groups gather before the night moves into downtown Charleston. From the rooftop at The Reef to Vickery's Bar & Grill (1313 Shrimp Boat Ln, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464), the Creek sets the pregame tone. Then the crew crosses the Ravenel Bridge into downtown, where a full night could include cocktails at The Rarebit (474 King St, Charleston, SC 29403), a set at the Music Farm, and a late close at any of the King Street bars that stay open past 2 a.m.
Navigating that route across the bridge and through downtown's one-way grid after midnight — when rideshare surge pricing hits — is the part that turns a great night into a logistics argument. Our party buses are stocked with a full bar, color-changing LEDs, and Bluetooth sound, and the route is taken care of from start to finish. No one draws straws for who stays sober.
Call 854-233-7065 now.
A party bus arrival turns the entrance into part of the celebration — and in the Mount Pleasant area, there are venues worth arriving at in style. Whether the quinceañera is at the Hamlin Recreation Center, the Sweet 16 is at a Mount Pleasant hotel ballroom, or a milestone birthday is heading to a private event space in downtown Charleston, we match the vehicle to the occasion and the headcount.
Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses are fully customizable — coordinate a color scheme, pre-load a playlist, and the LED lighting adjusts to match your theme. For adult milestone birthdays heading into downtown for a King Street dinner and a club stop, rather than asking your guests to navigate the peninsula individually and find parking, a birthday bus rental keeps everyone together for the whole night. Call 854-233-7065 to plan your Mount Pleasant birthday celebration.
The Lowcountry's live music scene spreads across multiple venues in the Charleston metro, and getting between them — or simply getting home after — is where groups run into trouble. The North Charleston Coliseum (5001 Coliseum Dr, North Charleston, SC 29418) handles stadium-scale tours, with parking that fills the surface lots along Montague Avenue fast on sold-out nights. The Music Farm (32 Ann St, Charleston, SC 29403) sits in the thick of the upper peninsula where East Bay and upper Meeting Street parking is tight and metered.
The Charleston Music Hall (37 John St, Charleston, SC 29403) and TD Arena (30 George St, Charleston, SC 29424) round out the major circuit.
A Mount Pleasant concert bus rental drops your group at the venue entrance and picks everyone up when the show ends — no one is hunting for a parking spot at midnight or watching rideshare prices triple after the final song. Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come with Bluetooth sound and LED lighting so the energy carries from the pickup all the way through the opening act. Call 854-233-7065 for a quote.
The Mount Pleasant and Charleston business corridor runs from the Wando Tech campus out east to the companies clustered around the Charleston Executive Airport in Johns Island, with major activity concentrated around the Charleston Area Convention Center (5001 Coliseum Dr, North Charleston, SC 29418) and the hotels along Montague Avenue. Getting 30 or 50 employees from a hotel on Coleman Boulevard to a convention center session without splitting into multiple vehicles — and without burdening anyone with parking logistics — is exactly what a charter bus handles cleanly.
For executive airport transfers in smaller groups, a Sprinter van or 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right fit for CHS without the overhead of a full-size coach. WiFi and power outlets on the charter buses mean your team can wrap emails on the way to the venue instead of scrambling for the hotel business center. Call 854-233-7065 to discuss Mount Pleasant corporate shuttle rates and multi-day contracts.
The Lowcountry event calendar runs year-round, and several dates reliably tighten transportation supply across the region. Spoleto Festival USA (late May–early June) packs downtown Charleston venues for 17 days, pushing rideshare demand and parking costs across the peninsula to levels that catch first-timers off guard. Charleston Restaurant Week in January and August and the SEWE — Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in February draw thousands of visitors to the historic district, where street parking is already scarce and valet queues at major venues stretch around the block.
For family reunions, church retreats, or multi-stop group outings to places like Boone Hall Plantation (1235 Long Point Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) or Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum (40 Patriots Point Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464), one charter bus or minibus keeps everyone together on schedule without juggling multiple vehicles across unfamiliar roads. Call 854-233-7065 to build your private event plan.
Prom season (April–May) is the single busiest window for party bus rentals across the Charleston metro. High schools across Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties — Wando High School, Lucy Beckham High School, and Oceanside Collegiate among them — all hold proms within a compressed 6-week stretch, and availability disappears fast. A typical 6-hour prom rental for 30 students, covering school pickup, a pre-prom photo stop at Waterfront Park in Charleston, venue drop-off, and an after-party return, runs $1,800–$2,200 when booked 4–6 months early.
Waiting until March for a May prom date puts you into premium pricing territory — $2,800 or more for the same vehicle and hours. For prom: book by December or expect premium pricing or no availability. Party Bus Myrtle Beach works directly with parent committees and student groups across the Lowcountry to confirm routes, pickup plans, and vehicle details well in advance.
Call 854-233-7065 today to secure your date.
Teachers and administrators trust Party Bus Myrtle Beach for student transportation because the process is straightforward — one call, right-sized vehicle, confirmed pickup plan, and a 24/7 team available if anything shifts on the day. The South Carolina Aquarium (100 Aquarium Wharf, Charleston, SC 29403) is a perennial field trip destination, with charter buses unloading at the aquarium wharf on Concord Street before waiting nearby. The Children's Museum of the Lowcountry (25 Ann St, Charleston, SC 29403) and Fort Sumter National Monument ferry terminal at Liberty Square are both accessible from a single downtown drop point.
Charter buses serve students better than yellow buses on these routes — reclining seats, climate control against the summer heat, overhead storage for lunches and gear, and TV monitors for pre-trip content. For longer drives to Congaree National Park or the Columbia museums, the onboard restroom means no unplanned stops. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available with advance notice.
Call 854-233-7065 for school field trip bus rentals in Mount Pleasant.
Game days in the Charleston metro scatter fans across several venues, and the parking situations at each one are distinctly different. The Charleston RiverDogs play at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park (360 Fishburne St, Charleston, SC 29403) — known locally as "The Joe" — on the Charleston peninsula, where parking around Fishburne and Rutledge fills within the first hour of the gates opening and street spots are enforced aggressively. The South Carolina Stingrays and major concerts share the North Charleston Coliseum (5001 Coliseum Dr), where the surface lots off Montague Avenue are plentiful but the post-game exit onto I-26 creates a familiar crawl.
A Mount Pleasant charter bus rental drops your group at the venue entrance and the bus waits nearby for the post-game pickup — no one is sprinting for a rideshare in the rain or sitting in the exit queue for 45 minutes. For Stingrays tailgates, the undercarriage bays handle a cooler and chairs while the party bus sound system carries the pregame energy. Call 854-233-7065 for a game-day quote.
Mount Pleasant and the surrounding Lowcountry offer some of the most photographed wedding venues on the East Coast — and some of the most logistically demanding. Boone Hall Plantation (1235 Long Point Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) sits on Long Point Road with limited parking that fills quickly for large weddings, especially when competing with public plantation tours on the same day. Downtown Charleston venues like the William Aiken House (456 King St) and The Cedar Room at the Cigar Factory (701 E Bay St) put guests on narrow peninsula streets where parking is metered until 10 p.m. and valet lines form early.
A wedding shuttle loop from the hotel on Coleman Boulevard or US-17 to the ceremony and reception keeps guests out of that scramble entirely — nobody in a floor-length dress walks four blocks in Lowcountry humidity. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo handles the bridal party on the wedding morning itself. Because Party Bus Myrtle Beach has coordinated weddings across this region since 2011, your timeline stays tight with staged departures and a single point of contact from first quote to last drop-off.
Call 854-233-7065 for a free wedding transportation quote.
The Lowcountry's craft beverage scene is genuinely worth a day trip — and spread across enough miles that driving between stops makes no sense. Irvin-House Vineyards (6775 Bears Bluff Rd, Wadmalaw Island, SC 29487) is South Carolina's oldest winery, sitting on Wadmalaw Island about 35 miles southwest of Mount Pleasant via US-17 and SC-700, with a lush tasting room surrounded by muscadine and Lenoir vines. Firefly Distillery shares the same Wadmalaw Island corridor (6775 Bears Bluff Rd), making a combined distillery-and-winery run a natural single itinerary.
Back toward Mount Pleasant and North Charleston, Westbrook Brewing (510 Ridge Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) is one of the most decorated craft breweries in the Southeast, with a taproom well worth anchoring a pub crawl. Add stops at Edmund's Oast Brewing Co. (1505 King St Extension, Charleston, SC 29405) and the Shem Creek bars for a full evening circuit. Your group stays together in a comfortable Mount Pleasant party bus rental sharing every pour — no one volunteers to drive, no one misses a stop.

Planned a baby shower send-off outing for a friend and wanted everyone together and relaxed. The bus delivered. Comfortable seating, easy booking, and a route that worked for all our stops. Nobody had to stress about driving or directions. We just enjoyed each other's company the whole way. It turned a simple celebration into something really memorable. I'd recommend it to anyone planning a group day.

We used the bus for a holiday get-together with friends and it was the smoothest part of the season. On time, roomy, and clean, with great sound for the ride. Everyone could let loose because no one had to worry about getting home. The booking was straightforward and the communication was great. It made gathering everyone together feel effortless. We'll definitely be doing this again.
Cosima T.
Booked transportation for an engagement celebration and it kept the whole party together and on schedule. The bus was comfortable and had room for our entire group. Riding around Mount Pleasant between spots was half the fun. Setting it up was easy and they answered all my questions. Nobody had to play designated driver, which everyone appreciated. A genuinely great experience from start to finish.
Bartholomew K.
Did a fantasy draft night out with the league and the bus was the perfect spot to keep the trash talk going between stops. Plenty of room, good music, and on-time pickup. We didn't have to worry about anyone driving, so the whole crew could enjoy the night. The booking was quick and easy. Honestly upgraded what would've been a normal night into a real event.
Mount Pleasant party bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, your event date, and total hours needed. Current ranges: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Pricing shifts with peak dates like prom season, Spoleto Festival USA, and summer Grand Strand weekends.
The fastest way to get an accurate number for your specific date is to call 854-233-7065 — all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds with no surprises at the end.
Charter buses and oversized vehicles serving the North Charleston Coliseum (5001 Coliseum Dr, North Charleston, SC 29418) use the surface lots off Montague Avenue for passenger drop-off, with the main pedestrian entrance on the north side of the building near the box office. The approach from I-26 exits at Montague Avenue East (Exit 212B), and the lot entrances are well-signed from that interchange. Post-event, the I-26 westbound on-ramp from Montague backs up for 20–30 minutes after large shows; we build that window into your pickup timing so the bus is ready and waiting when your group exits.
We recommend checking the official Coliseum parking page before your event for current lot assignments and any event-specific restrictions.
At Charleston International Airport (CHS) (5500 International Blvd, North Charleston, SC 29418), commercial buses and charter vehicles pick up from the Ground Transportation curb on the lower Arrivals level. Once your full group has cleared baggage claim and is together at the curb, your group coordinator calls our team and the bus moves from its waiting area to the commercial pickup zone. Do not call for the bus until everyone in your party is together with luggage — partial-group pickups at a busy airport curbside create the exact scramble a charter bus is meant to cut out.
For groups connecting to the Charleston Cruise Terminal, the 7-mile transfer via US-17 and Concord Street runs about 15 minutes outside of event traffic. Review the official CHS ground transportation page before your arrival date to confirm current commercial vehicle loading zones.
Boone Hall Plantation (1235 Long Point Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) hosts private weddings and events with designated areas for vendor and guest vehicles. Charter bus access and parking for private events is coordinated through the venue's event management team — advance notice is required, and the specific area depends on your event's layout and whether the plantation is simultaneously open to public tours. We strongly recommend confirming the bus drop-off point and parking zone directly with Boone Hall's event coordinator before your wedding date.
When you book with Party Bus Myrtle Beach, our team works with you to gather those venue-specific details so the arrival plan is confirmed well in advance and there is no improvising on the wedding morning. Call 854-233-7065 to start that conversation.
The drive from Mount Pleasant to Myrtle Beach runs approximately 85 miles via US-17 North — about 90 minutes in normal conditions, stretching to two hours or more on summer Friday afternoons and holiday weekends when the Grand Strand corridor backs up through Georgetown. For groups of 15 or more, a charter bus handles the full run for a single, predictable all-inclusive rate. The per-person math almost always beats splitting the cost of multiple cars, parking, and gas — especially once you factor in a full group that can't all drink if someone is driving.
Undercarriage bays carry beach gear, luggage, and coolers, and reclining seats with climate control make the Coastal Highway stretch comfortable in July heat. Call 854-233-7065 for a Mount Pleasant to Myrtle Beach charter bus quote.
We recommend booking your Mount Pleasant party bus or charter bus at least three to six months in advance to lock in the best price and vehicle selection. The windows that close fastest are prom season (April–May), Spoleto Festival USA weekend blocks (late May–early June), summer Grand Strand weekends along the US-17 corridor, and New Year's Eve. For most other dates, two to four weeks of lead time is workable — but the earlier you call, the better your options.
For prom specifically: book by December. Waiting until spring for a May date means premium pricing or no availability at all. Call 854-233-7065 right now to check what is open on your date.
A Mount Pleasant party bus itinerary can reach waterfront plantations, major sports venues, island wineries, historic downtown streets, and national parks — often in a single day. Here are six destinations your group will want on the list, with the logistics detail that matters most.
One of America's oldest working plantations, Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens (1235 Long Point Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) sits just 8 miles north of downtown Mount Pleasant via US-17 and Long Point Road. The iconic Avenue of Oaks — a three-quarter-mile canopy of 250-year-old live oaks — is one of the most photographed entrances in the South. The plantation hosts seasonal events including the annual Lowcountry Strawberry Festival (April) and Fall Festival (October), both of which draw large crowds and fill the main parking lot early.
For private event and wedding groups, charter bus access and parking require advance coordination with Boone Hall's event team. General admission is open Tuesday through Sunday year-round.
Address: 1235 Long Point Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464
Phone: (843) 884-4371
Moored directly on Charleston Harbor, Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum (40 Patriots Point Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) is home to the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, the USS Clamagore submarine, and the USS Laffey destroyer — open daily from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. with the last admission at 5 p.m. The museum sits at the base of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge on the Mount Pleasant side, making it one of the easiest major venues in the area to reach by charter bus from either downtown or US-17 hotels. Oversized vehicles use the main lot off Patriots Point Road; the lot is spacious and easy to get into without the congestion that affects the Charleston peninsula.
Group rates are available for parties of 10 or more — contact Patriots Point before your visit to confirm current group admission pricing and any timed-entry requirements.
Address: 40 Patriots Point Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464
Phone: (843) 884-2727
Waterfront Park (1 Vendue Range, Charleston, SC 29401) is the most-used pre-event gathering spot for groups heading into downtown Charleston — a wide, manicured park on the Cooper River waterfront with the iconic pineapple fountain and sweeping views of the harbor and Castle Pinckney. It is 6 miles from downtown Mount Pleasant via the Ravenel Bridge and US-17. Charter bus drop-off on the peninsula uses the designated commercial vehicle lane on Concord Street, one block from the park entrance on Vendue Range.
Street parking in this corridor is metered and limited; groups heading to nearby venues at the Charleston Gaillard Center or the historic district commonly use Waterfront Park as a meeting point before walking to their destination. The park itself is free and open daily from 6 a.m. to midnight.
Address: 1 Vendue Range, Charleston, SC 29401
The South Carolina Aquarium (100 Aquarium Wharf, Charleston, SC 29403) occupies a purpose-built waterfront building at the northern end of the Charleston peninsula, open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (last ticket sold at 4 p.m.). The facility houses a four-story Great Ocean Tank, a sea turtle hospital open to the public, and rotating exhibits — making it one of the top field trip and family group destinations in the region.
Charter buses serving the aquarium unload at the Aquarium Wharf on Concord Street, directly adjacent to the main entrance. Oversized vehicles wait on the wharf road rather than the attached parking garage, which has a low clearance that rules out full-size coaches. Group admission rates for parties of 15 or more are available; contact the aquarium at least two weeks in advance to reserve group entry windows and confirm current drop-off protocols.
Address: 100 Aquarium Wharf, Charleston, SC 29403
Phone: (843) 577-3474
Westbrook Brewing Company (510 Ridge Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) is among the most recognized craft breweries in the Southeast, known regionally for its Mexican Cake Imperial Stout and a year-round taproom that draws serious beer travelers from well beyond South Carolina. The Ridge Road location is about 7 miles from the Ravenel Bridge and easy to reach from US-17 without navigating any of the peninsula's one-way streets. The taproom is open Wednesday through Sunday with regular food truck rotations and occasional live music.
Parking on the taproom's lot accommodates standard vehicles, and the lot is large enough to fit a minibus or small charter bus without blocking the entrance. For pub crawl groups combining Westbrook with downtown Charleston stops and Shem Creek, a party bus rental keeps the itinerary moving cleanly between locations.

Phone: (843) 856-2337
Shem Creek (centered near 1313 Shrimp Boat Ln, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) is the social hub of Mount Pleasant — a working shrimp boat waterway flanked by a walkable strip of restaurants, waterfront bars, and seafood docks along Coleman Boulevard. Parking along the Creek fills fast on weekend evenings, and the main surface lot at the end of Shrimp Boat Lane is cash-only and limited to about 60 cars. Groups arriving by bus skip that scramble entirely — a minibus drops everyone at the street-level entrance to the Creek boardwalk while the bus waits nearby on Coleman Boulevard.
Popular stops include Vickery's Bar & Grill, The Reef Bar & Grill (148 Mill St, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464), and Pitt Street Pharmacy for a post-dinner sundae. Shem Creek is also the natural launch point for bachelorette nights and birthday crawls that continue across the Ravenel Bridge into downtown. There is no cover at most Creek establishments, and the kitchen hours run until 10 p.m. at most venues.
