Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Mount Pleasant

FAQS

Mount Pleasant Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in South Carolina, with vehicles for every group size and budget. You can book a 15-35 passenger minibus built by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, or Tiffany Coach Builders—perfect for shuttling wedding guests between Boone Hall Plantation and downtown Charleston or running corporate commuters from Belle Hall to Morrison Drive. For big crowds, we have 40-56 passenger coach buses from MCI, Van Hool, and Prevost with under-floor luggage bays, reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and restrooms—ideal for moving sports fans to Clemson games or taking student groups on overnight trips to Atlanta. We also offer party buses (10-50 passengers) with wraparound seating, hardwood floors, color-changing LED lights, and wet bars; sprinter vans (10-15 passengers) that are great for airport transfers or bachelor/bachelorette parties; and classic school buses for affordable local shuttles. Whatever your itinerary, we have the right bus at the right price.

Bus rental prices in Mount Pleasant depend on several factors, including the type of vehicle, trip distance, duration, time of year, and how far in advance you book. In general, you’ll pay more during peak spring wedding season (April–June) or when major events like Spoleto Festival USA or College of Charleston graduation create high demand. Minibuses start at $150–$450+ per hour or $1,520–$3,465+ per day; full-size charter buses are $145–$550+ per hour or $1,520–$5,000+ per day; party buses run $180–$500+ per hour weekdays and $200–$520+ per hour weekends; and sprinter vans are $160–$400+ per hour weekdays and $180–$450+ per hour weekends. Daily and mileage rates are also available. To get an exact quote tailored to your itinerary, call our team anytime at 843-994-4180.

Our fleet includes every modern amenity you could want, but features vary by vehicle size and model. Standard options include high-back reclining seats, climate control, overhead parcel racks, and PA systems for tour guides or trip leaders. Most minibuses and all full-size coaches offer free WiFi, USB/power outlets at every row, and flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players—great for keeping kids entertained on I-26 or showing training videos en route to a company retreat at Wild Dunes. Larger buses add onboard restrooms, hardwood-style flooring, and extra luggage space. Party buses feature perimeter seating, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, multiple TV screens, and optional wet bar setups. Sprinter vans come with leather captain’s chairs, fold-out tables, and rear storage for coolers or golf bags. If you need something specific—like ADA wheelchair lifts, tray tables, or extra-cold A/C—just ask when you book.

We serve every kind of group and event across Mount Pleasant, Charleston County, and the entire state of South Carolina. Popular uses include wedding shuttles between ceremony and reception venues (like Alhambra Hall or The Cedar Room), corporate commuter routes from Park West to downtown offices, school field trips to Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum or the South Carolina Aquarium, college sports team travel for The Citadel or College of Charleston, church retreats to Myrtle Beach or Lake Jocassee, concert transportation to Credit One Stadium or Music Farm, and private party buses for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette nights, or brewery tours along Shem Creek. We also handle long-distance charters to Savannah, Charlotte, Atlanta, and beyond. No group is too big, too small, or too complicated—we’ve seen and done it all.

Mount Pleasant is generally very bus-friendly, but it’s important to plan your parking and loading zones in advance—especially if you’re heading into downtown Charleston or picking up near the beach. Popular spots like Waterfront Park, Patriots Point, and Boone Hall Plantation all have designated areas for oversized vehicles, but they can fill up quickly during peak season. In Charleston, expect strict enforcement of bus routes and idling rules south of Calhoun Street; use the Visitor Center on Ann Street or the approved drop-off zone at White Point Garden. For Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island, check with local police about current restrictions before crossing the causeway. If your hotel or venue doesn’t have room for a 45-foot coach, we can arrange remote staging and shuttle back-and-forth as needed. Just share your itinerary and we’ll handle the logistics.

Every quote from Mount Pleasant Coach Bus Service includes exclusive use of your chosen vehicle for the duration of your trip, plus all standard onboard amenities (WiFi, power outlets, A/V system, restroom if applicable). Mileage, fuel, insurance, and basic cleaning are covered in the base rate. You’re responsible for any parking permits, road/bridge tolls, or entrance fees required by your itinerary—such as ferry tickets to Fort Sumter or bus parking at Folly Beach County Park. Optional add-ons like extra mileage, late-night returns, or premium amenities (snack/beverage packages, hostess/guides, etc.) can be bundled for an additional charge. There are no hidden fees or surprise surcharges—what you see is what you pay.

We recommend booking your bus as early as possible, especially if you’re traveling during peak months (April–June for weddings/graduations, September–November for football games and fall festivals). For large groups, multi-day itineraries, or anything requiring multiple vehicles, 6–12 months’ notice is ideal. Smaller parties or single-day trips can usually be accommodated with 4–6 weeks’ lead time. Last-minute requests are always welcome—we’ve dispatched buses with less than 24 hours’ notice—but availability may be limited and prices will reflect current demand. Spring and fall are our busiest seasons, so don’t wait if you need a specific size/model or have firm schedules to keep.

Absolutely! We offer one-way charters to any destination in South Carolina or out of state—perfect for airport transfers, cruise ship drop-offs, college move-ins, or relocating a group without needing the bus to wait around. Common routes include Mount Pleasant to Charleston International Airport (CHS), Amtrak station on North Charleston, Myrtle Beach resorts, Savannah Riverfront, or even Charlotte Douglas International (CLT). Pricing is based on total mileage and whether the bus returns empty (“deadhead”) or picks up another group along the way. If you have lots of luggage or odd-sized cargo, let us know so we can assign a vehicle with enough storage space.

Yes! Our party bus fleet is one of the best in the state, with sizes ranging from 10 to 50 passengers and interiors built for fun. Features include wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lights, multiple flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth sound systems, hardwood dance floors, and optional wet bars/cooler stations. Perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties heading to King Street, birthday crawls through Shem Creek, prom/homecoming rides for Wando High School, or just a night out without worrying about Uber/Lyft. You can BYOB, decorate the interior, and control the playlist from your phone. Minimum rental times vary by day of week and distance traveled—call for details and current specials.

Yes—just ask! We have photo galleries and floor plans for every vehicle in our fleet, so you can see exactly what you’re getting before you sign anything. Pictures show the exterior, seating layout, luggage/storage areas, restroom (if equipped), and main cabin features like monitors, lighting, and finishes. Floor plans indicate seat counts, aisle width, door locations, and ADA/wheelchair positions where applicable. If you have specific questions about headroom, legroom, or configuration (forward-facing vs. perimeter), our team can walk you through the options and recommend the best fit for your group size and comfort level. In-person walkthroughs may be arranged at our local depot by appointment only.

We understand that schedules can shift, especially for large events or multi-day trips with many moving parts. If you need to adjust your pickup time, drop-off location, or route details after booking, just contact our office as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to accommodate. Minor changes are usually not a problem if we have advance notice. Adding extra hours, making unscheduled stops, or rerouting outside the original service area may incur additional charges based on mileage and availability. If you need to upgrade or downgrade the size of your bus due to headcount changes, we’ll swap vehicles if one is available. Communication is key—keep us in the loop and we’ll keep your trip on track.
