See live pricing & availability in seconds!
Party Bus Myrtle Beach has been handling group transportation across the South Carolina Lowcountry since 2011 — thousands of trips completed, zero guesswork for the groups who booked them. We give your crew a full fleet of vehicles scaled to any headcount: Sprinter vans and limos for intimate groups, 15- to 50-passenger party buses for celebrations that need a bar and a dance floor, minibuses for quick corporate hops across the Mark Clark Expressway, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses for school field trips to Patriots Point or multi-stop corporate shuttles between Charleston Executive Airport and the convention hotels lining the I-26 corridor.
Every quote is all-inclusive and shows up in under 30 seconds — no hidden costs, no phone tag. Our reservation team is available 24/7/365, so whether you are planning a June wedding or scrambling to organize last-minute prom transportation in April, there is always a real person ready to lock in your date. North Charleston sits at the crossroads of some of the busiest roads in the Lowcountry — Dorchester Road, Aviation Avenue, and I-526 all converge here — and keeping a large group coordinated across those corridors without a single bus is a headache you do not need.
We take care of the route so you can focus on the occasion.
From compact Sprinter vans perfect for executive transfers to 56-passenger charter buses built for a full school grade or a stadium fan group, our fleet covers every group size. Party buses include a full onboard bar, mood lighting, and Bluetooth sound. Minibuses offer reclining seats and powerful A/C for tighter itineraries.
Charter buses add undercarriage storage bays and onboard restrooms for longer runs. Call 854-233-7065 and we will match you with the right vehicle.
Party buses in our fleet come loaded with color-changing LED lighting, a full-length onboard bar, wraparound perimeter seating, flat-panel TVs, and premium Bluetooth sound — so the pregame or the post-ceremony celebration starts the moment the doors close on Rivers Avenue. Executive Sprinter limos bring individual USB charging, premium leather, and tinted privacy windows for bridal party runs or VIP airport pickups at Charleston International (CHS). Full-size charter buses step up with reclining seats, overhead bins, climate control, onboard WiFi, power outlets, an onboard restroom, and massive undercarriage luggage bays — the right call when your group is hauling beach gear to Sullivan's Island or equipment for a corporate presentation at the Charleston Area Convention Center.
ADA-accessible vehicles are always available; just let us know when you book.

North Charleston party bus rental prices vary by vehicle size, date, and how long the bus is dedicated to your group. As a baseline: 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.
Peak dates — North Charleston Coliseum concert nights, Coastal Carolina Fair weekends in October, and the April–May prom window — push demand and rates up. Book early and you avoid the premium pricing that comes with last-minute availability. Weekend rates consistently run 20–30% higher than weekday equivalents.

North Charleston is not a small town with forgiving traffic. The I-26 and I-526 interchange at Exit 209 backs up on any Friday afternoon, the Cosgrove Avenue bridge backs up during Coliseum event nights, and trying to find oversized-vehicle parking near the North Charleston Convention Center on a convention day is a real problem. Party Bus Myrtle Beach has been navigating those corridors since 2011 — coordinating field trips out of Hunley Park Elementary, fan shuttles to North Charleston Coliseum, and wedding loops between the Marriott hotels on Northwoods Boulevard and ceremony venues in the historic district.
Because we handle the route, the timing, and where the bus is between stops, your group arrives together — and leaves together — without anyone drawing straws for who drives. Our 24/7 reservation team keeps you updated and reachable from first quote to final drop-off. There are no hidden costs: the number you see in the quote is the number on the invoice.
And because our fleet covers every group size, you never pay for seats that are going to ride empty. That combination — local knowledge, honest pricing, and a fleet that actually fits your headcount — is why groups across Berkeley, Dorchester, and Charleston counties keep calling us.
Call 854-233-7065 any time and get your all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds.
Party Bus Myrtle Beach covers every kind of group trip in North Charleston — from CHS airport pickups and Swamp Rabbits fan shuttles to prom nights, weddings, brewery crawls, and school field trips to the USS Yorktown. Whatever brings your group together, we have the vehicle and the plan. Call 854-233-7065 to get started.
Charleston International Airport (CHS) (5500 International Blvd, North Charleston, SC 29418) sits squarely inside North Charleston city limits — which makes it one of the most convenient airports in the Southeast for groups landing before a Lowcountry event. But convenience at the terminal does not mean convenience at the curb. CHS handles over 5 million passengers annually, and the commercial pickup lanes on the lower Arrivals level can back up fast during peak morning arrivals when connecting cruise passengers, convention attendees, and military families from Joint Base Charleston all funnel through at once.
Rather than splitting your group across a chain of rideshares at baggage claim, a North Charleston airport shuttle bus keeps every piece of luggage and every person in one place. Once your group is together at the agreed-upon Arrivals door, let us know and the whole crew moves directly toward downtown Charleston hotels, the North Charleston Convention Center, or wherever the itinerary starts. For outbound trips, we have the bus there early and leave time for check-in lines — no scramble, no missed flights.
Call 854-233-7065 to book your CHS transfer today.
North Charleston is the jumping-off point for some of the Lowcountry's best celebration nights — and the honest truth is that Park Circle's cluster of bars, the breweries along Montague Avenue, and the late-night spots on Morrison Drive are not navigable as a large group without a bus. Rideshares for eight or ten people in a matching outfit situation mean three separate vehicles, two late arrivals, and one person who spent twenty minutes at the curb alone.
A North Charleston bachelorette party bus rental keeps the squad together from the first stop to the last call. Load up at the hotel on Rivers Avenue, hit Edmund's Oast Brewing Co. (1505 King St Extension, Charleston) for craft pints, follow the celebration to the Recovery Room (685 King St) or the dance bars in the upper King Street corridor, and get everyone back to the hotel — no designated driver required and no splitting the group. Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses include the onboard bar, the LED lighting, and the sound system for exactly this.
Call 854-233-7065 and build your custom night-out itinerary.
North Charleston has a strong tradition of large milestone celebrations, and a party bus arrival is one of the most memorable ways to make an entrance at the venue. Whether the quinceañera or Sweet 16 celebration is headed to a banquet hall off Dorchester Road, a reception venue in the Oakbrook area, or a restaurant in downtown Charleston, Party Bus Myrtle Beach coordinates the pickup, the route, and the timing so the guest of honor rides in style.
Party buses in our fleet can be pre-loaded with a custom playlist and matched to your color scheme — white, black, or silver buses are available depending on your theme. For adult milestone birthdays with an evening itinerary, a party bus keeps the group together as you move from dinner at a Park Circle restaurant to late-night spots on King Street, without anyone calculating rideshare costs or worrying about who is staying sober. The onboard bar, LED lighting, and flat-panel TVs turn the ride itself into part of the celebration.
Call 854-233-7065 to plan your North Charleston birthday rental.
North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center (5001 Coliseum Dr, North Charleston, SC 29418) is the region's primary concert and touring-show venue, with a capacity of over 13,000 for arena-scale events and a separate 2,300-seat performing arts hall. On sold-out nights — think major country or pop touring acts — Coliseum Drive backs up from the I-26 interchange all the way to Aviation Avenue, and the surface parking lots around the facility fill within 45 minutes of doors opening.
A North Charleston concert party bus rental changes the math entirely. Your group loads at one address, the route is handled, and your bus drops everyone at the main entrance rather than in a distant lot. Post-show, the bus is waiting and ready when the crowd floods the exits — no surge pricing, no waiting in a 3,000-car exit queue on Coliseum Drive.
For larger shows at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center, where the adjacent lot is small and street parking on Coliseum Drive is scarce, arriving by bus is simply the cleaner option. Call 854-233-7065 for a concert shuttle quote.
North Charleston is home to more corporate activity than most visitors realize — the North Charleston Convention Center (5001 Coliseum Dr, North Charleston, SC 29418) hosts regional conferences and trade shows year-round, and the industrial corridor along Interstate Boulevard and Remount Road includes Boeing South Carolina, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz Vans, and dozens of suppliers. Getting employees, clients, and keynote speakers between the convention center, the airport hotels on International Boulevard, and off-site team events requires real logistics coordination — not a text chain and a prayer that everyone finds their rideshare.
A North Charleston corporate charter bus rental keeps your team together and on schedule. Minibuses handle quick executive transfers between the Crowne Plaza, the Marriott, and the convention center without anyone fighting over parking in the attached garage. Full-size charter buses cover full-company off-sites or multi-day conference shuttles.
WiFi and power outlets mean your team arrives at each stop ready to work, not frazzled from the I-526 commute. Call 854-233-7065 to build a custom corporate shuttle plan.
The Coastal Carolina Fair rolls into the Exchange Park Fairgrounds (9850 Hwy 78, Ladson, SC 29456) every October and draws hundreds of thousands of visitors over two weeks. Hwy 78 through Ladson turns into a stop-and-go crawl on peak weekend evenings, and the fairground parking lots charge by the car — meaning a group that arrived in five separate vehicles pays five separate parking bills and still has to coordinate a departure time when everyone is tired and full of funnel cake.
A private charter bus consolidates all of that: one vehicle, one parking cost, and the bus is waiting exactly where you left it. The same logic applies for family reunions hitting multiple North Charleston stops in a single day — Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site in the morning, lunch in Park Circle, and an evening cookout at Wannamaker County Park — where juggling a six-car caravan across the I-526 loop turns a relaxed day into a logistics project. Call 854-233-7065 to get a private event quote built around your exact itinerary.
Prom season in the North Charleston metro — April through mid-May — is the single busiest window of the year for party bus and charter rentals across Berkeley, Dorchester, and Charleston counties. Stall High School, Stratford High School, Northwood Academy, and several private schools in the surrounding area all hold proms within a tight six-week window. Demand spikes, availability drops, and prices follow.
For prom: book by December or expect premium pricing or no availability.
A typical 6-hour prom rental for 30 students — school pickup, a photo stop, dinner drop-off, venue arrival, and an after-party return — costs $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive when booked four to six months early. Wait until March and the same rental climbs to $2,800–$3,500 or more, assuming a vehicle is even available. Party Bus Myrtle Beach coordinates prom transportation across the North Charleston area every spring and works with parent committees and student groups to keep the night on schedule.
Call 854-233-7065 now and lock in your date before the December window closes.
Teachers and administrators across the North Charleston area trust Party Bus Myrtle Beach for school field trip transportation because coordinating carpools and yellow school buses through I-26 construction zones is nobody's idea of a productive field trip day. A private charter bus offers climate control, reclining seats, TV monitors for educational content on the ride, overhead storage for backpacks and lunchboxes, and undercarriage bays for bulkier gear.
Popular North Charleston field trip destinations include Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum (40 Patriots Point Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) — where the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier serves as the centerpiece of an 11-acre outdoor museum — and the South Carolina Aquarium (100 Aquarium Wharf, Charleston, SC 29403) on the Charleston waterfront. Bus drop-off at Patriots Point is on Patriots Point Road; school groups should reserve guided programs in advance through the museum's education office. ADA-accessible buses are always available for students with mobility needs — just let us know when you book.
Call 854-233-7065 for school charter bus rentals in North Charleston.
The Charleston Battery play at Patriots Point and North Charleston's own North Charleston Coliseum hosts the South Carolina Stingrays ECHL hockey team for a full home season running October through April. On sellout nights at the Coliseum — playoff runs, rivalry matchups, and the annual teddy bear toss game in December — the surface lots off Coliseum Drive fill within an hour of doors opening, and the exit on I-26 West backs up for over a mile.
A North Charleston sporting event charter bus means your group arrives together, tailgates together, and leaves without waiting in that exit crawl. The bus drops everyone at the main Coliseum entrance while the first-come lots are still sorting themselves out, then waits nearby for a coordinated post-game pickup. For Stingrays season-ticket holder groups, corporate suite outings, and youth hockey travel parties driving up from the Grand Strand, renting a bus in North Charleston is the move that turns a game night into an event.
Call 854-233-7065 to book your Stingrays or Coliseum event shuttle.
North Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry are among the most in-demand wedding markets in the Southeast — the Historic Charleston Foundation alone registers hundreds of ceremonies annually across the peninsula, and popular venues like The Cedar Room (675 Meeting St, Charleston, SC 29403) and Alhambra Hall (131 Middle St, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) book years in advance. Out-of-town guests staying at the Marriott or Crowne Plaza on International Boulevard need a way to reach ceremony venues without navigating the peninsula's narrow one-way streets in formal wear.
A North Charleston wedding shuttle takes that burden completely off the couple. Minibuses run loops from hotel blocks to the ceremony venue, then to the reception, then back — clear pickup windows, timed departures, and a single point of contact from the quote to the final run. Nobody in your wedding party walks six blocks in heels, and no one has to skip the champagne toast because they drew the short straw on driving.
Sprinter limos handle bridal party transportation on the wedding day itself. Call 854-233-7065 for a free North Charleston wedding shuttle quote.
The Lowcountry craft beverage scene has expanded dramatically, and North Charleston sits in the middle of it. Revelry Brewing Co. (10 Conroy St, Charleston, SC 29403) anchors the upper peninsula brewery corridor; Holy City Brewing (4155 Dorchester Rd, North Charleston, SC 29405) operates one of the largest taprooms in the state right on Dorchester Road; and Rusty Bull Brewing (1 Westedge St, Charleston, SC 29403) and Palmetto Brewing Company (289 Huger St, Charleston, SC 29403) round out a crawl that spans North Charleston into downtown.
A North Charleston pub crawl party bus keeps your group on the same schedule at every stop — no one splitting off to find parking, no one calculating how to get back to the hotel, and no one turning into the designated driver three beers in. The party bus bar is stocked for the stretches between stops, and the route is entirely yours. Call 854-233-7065 for a custom brewery crawl itinerary and all-inclusive quote.

Rented the bus for my parents' anniversary so the whole family could celebrate together. It arrived on time, had easy access for the older relatives, and was comfortable the whole ride. We moved around North Charleston as one happy group instead of a scattered convoy. The reservation was painless and reassuring. It made a meaningful occasion even more special. I can't recommend it enough for family events.

We got the bus for a buddy's promotion celebration and it was a fantastic call. Spacious inside, great sound, and right on time both ways. Everyone could ride together and actually enjoy the evening without worrying about parking or driving home. The booking was smooth and they were responsive throughout. It turned a casual night into something that felt like a real celebration. Would book again.
Anoushka B.
Booked this for a long bachelorette weekend day trip and it was the glue that held the whole thing together. Comfortable seats, room for all our stuff, and a fun atmosphere between stops. Nobody had to drive so we all got to enjoy ourselves. Coordinating the route with them was simple. We made so many memories rolling around North Charleston. Easily the best part of the weekend.
Rashad M.
Did a birthday surprise for my wife and loaded her friends onto the bus before picking her up. Her reaction was everything. The inside was clean and roomy with great lighting, and we cruised around enjoying the night. Pickup was right on time and the booking was easy. Not having to worry about rides for anyone made it stress-free. She still says it was her favorite birthday.
North Charleston party bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, the date, and how long the bus is dedicated to your group. As a general range: 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. Peak dates — major Coliseum concerts, Coastal Carolina Fair weekends, and prom season — push rates higher.
Every Party Bus Myrtle Beach quote is all-inclusive with no surprise add-ons. Call 854-233-7065 or use the online tool for a number in under 30 seconds.
Commercial bus pickups at Charleston International Airport (5500 International Blvd, North Charleston, SC 29418) take place on the lower Arrivals level curbside. Once your full group has cleared baggage claim and is standing together at the agreed-upon Arrivals door, let our team know and we will pull the bus up to the commercial pickup lane. Do not call for the bus until every person in your party has their luggage and is ready to go — timing coordination at a busy airport is everything.
For groups connecting to a cruise departure at the Union Pier Terminal (196 Concord St, Charleston, SC 29401), the port is about 8 miles from CHS via I-26 East and the Ravenel Bridge corridor; confirm your terminal with the cruise line before embarkation morning.
North Charleston Coliseum (5001 Coliseum Dr, North Charleston, SC 29418) has dedicated surface parking across multiple lots surrounding the facility, with the main lot accessible from Coliseum Drive and overflow lots connecting to Aviation Avenue. For oversized vehicles, the outer edges of the main lot and the North Lot adjacent to the Performing Arts Center offer the best options. All-event parking requires a pre-purchased pass for premium lots — general surface lots are available on a first-come basis.
On major concert nights, police manage one-way traffic flow on Coliseum Drive, and NW exits toward I-26 back up significantly post-show. We recommend reviewing the official North Charleston Coliseum parking page before your event to confirm current lot assignments and any road-closure advisories.
Yes. Bus drop-off at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum (40 Patriots Point Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464) is on Patriots Point Road, which enters the property from Coleman Boulevard (US-17) in Mount Pleasant. Oversized vehicles including charter buses use the main entrance and follow signage to the group drop-off zone near the main ticket plaza.
Parking for large vehicles is available in the main surface lot. School groups visiting the USS Yorktown should contact the museum's education department at least four weeks in advance to reserve guided programs and confirm current bus drop-off procedures. We recommend checking the Patriots Point visitor information page before your trip.
At least three to six months in advance for most events — and earlier for the high-demand windows. Prom season (April–May) is the busiest single period in the tri-county area; booking in December secures current-market rates, while waiting until March means premium pricing or no available vehicles at any price. The Coastal Carolina Fair at Exchange Park Fairgrounds (October) and major touring shows at North Charleston Coliseum also spike demand, and South Carolina wedding season (April–June and October) fills the minibus and charter bus calendar quickly.
The earlier you call, the better your vehicle selection and the lower your rate. For prom: book by December.
For most North Charleston events outside peak periods, two to four weeks of lead time is workable — but vehicle selection narrows fast, and the best-equipped buses go first. For prom, book by December. For summer weddings (May–August), book six to nine months out.
For Coliseum concerts and Coastal Carolina Fair weekends, lock in at least four to six weeks ahead once the event is announced, because the Lowcountry fleet gets committed quickly when a major national touring act announces a Coliseum date. Call 854-233-7065 as soon as your date is set.
North Charleston and the surrounding tri-county area pack a serious amount of destination variety into a compact geography — from naval history on the waterfront to arena concerts, state fairgrounds, craft breweries, and one of the most storied downtown corridors in the South. Here are six stops your group will want on the itinerary.
The largest entertainment venue in South Carolina, North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center hosts arena concerts, South Carolina Stingrays ECHL hockey, wrestling events, family shows, and large-scale graduation ceremonies. The main arena holds over 13,000; the adjacent Performing Arts Center seats 2,300 for Broadway touring productions and orchestral performances. Charter bus drop-off is on Coliseum Drive at the main entrance, with large-vehicle parking available in the outer surface lots.
On high-demand concert nights, Coliseum Drive and the I-26 interchange at Exit 209 back up significantly — buses wait nearby and pick up when the crowd clears. Confirm current lot assignments on the official parking page before your visit.

Anchored at the edge of Charleston Harbor in Mount Pleasant — about 12 miles from North Charleston's core via I-526 and US-17 — Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum is one of the most visited military history sites in the United States. The centerpiece is the USS Yorktown (CV-10), an Essex-class aircraft carrier that served from World War II through Vietnam and now houses a two-deck flight deck, below-deck exhibits, and a Medal of Honor Museum. The campus also includes the destroyer USS Laffey, submarine USS Clamagore, and a Vietnam-era naval support base replica.
Bus drop-off is on Patriots Point Road near the main ticket plaza, with charter vehicle parking in the main lot. School groups should reserve guided programs four weeks in advance through the education office.

Phone: (843) 884-2727
Every October, Exchange Park Fairgrounds in Ladson becomes the hub of one of the Southeast's most popular regional fairs. The Coastal Carolina Fair draws well over 300,000 visitors across its two-week run, with carnival rides, livestock exhibitions, live country and regional acts on the entertainment stage, and a midway stretching across a substantial swath of the 130-acre property. The fairgrounds sit at 9850 Hwy 78 in Ladson, just off I-26 at Exit 203 — but peak weekend evenings turn Hwy 78 from the interstate to the fairground entrance into a slow crawl, and parking on-site is cash-only in several lots.
A charter bus drops the group at the main gate and takes care of the Hwy 78 approach completely. We recommend checking the official Coastal Carolina Fair website for current dates and parking details.
Address: 9850 Hwy 78, Ladson, SC 29456
One of South Carolina's most significant historical parks, Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site marks the location of the first permanent English settlement in the Carolinas, established in 1670. The 664-acre park sits on Old Towne Road in Charleston, about 8 miles from North Charleston's downtown core via I-26 West and SC-61. The site includes a reconstructed fortification, a 22-acre animal forest with species native to 17th-century Carolina (including bears, bison, and alligators), a replica colonial vessel, extensive nature trails along the Ashley River, and a visitor center with archaeological exhibits.
Charter buses drop off at the main entrance on Old Towne Road; school groups and large parties should call ahead to coordinate group tours. Admission runs $8 adults, $4 children ages 6–15, free for children under 6.
Address: 1500 Old Towne Rd, Charleston, SC 29407

One of the flagship stops on any North Charleston brewery itinerary, Holy City Brewing operates a large taproom and outdoor event space at 4155 Dorchester Road — right in the heart of North Charleston, less than a mile from I-26 Exit 211B. The taproom pours their flagship Pluff Mud Porter, seasonal rotations, and a full lineup of year-round ales, with a food truck rotation parked on-site most weekends. The outdoor space includes a lush, mural-lined beer garden and a stage for live music events, making it a natural anchor stop for a North Charleston brewery crawl before heading toward the Edmund's Oast corridor on the peninsula.
Street parking on Dorchester Road fills fast on weekend afternoons. A party bus drops the group curbside and waits nearby until your group is ready for the next stop.

Park Circle is North Charleston's most walkable entertainment district — a circular layout of bars, restaurants, and music venues centered on Nipper Creek Park at the corner of Durant Avenue and N. Rhett Avenue. The district has grown rapidly over the past decade and now anchors the city's nightlife alongside King Street on the peninsula. Popular stops include The Revel (4020 N Rhett Ave), Madra Rua Irish Pub (1034 E Montague Ave), and GoodBurger for late-night food.
The tight street grid and limited off-street parking in the residential streets surrounding the circle make Park Circle a natural party bus destination — a minibus or party bus drops the group at the circle, everybody walks to the bars, and the pickup is coordinated at a fixed spot on Durant or Montague when the night wraps. No parking scramble, no designated driver, and no Uber surge at midnight.
Address: Park Circle, North Charleston, SC 29405 (center of Durant Ave & N. Rhett Ave)
