A few of the companies we’ve worked with
World-Class Music at Credit One Stadium
Located on Daniel Island, Credit One Stadium (161 Seven Farms Drive, Charleston, SC 29492) is the crown jewel of large-scale outdoor music in the Charleston area. Recently renovated, this open-air venue hosts the biggest names in music, from country superstars like Kenny Chesney to rock legends like Hootie & the Blowfish. While the island setting provides a beautiful backdrop, getting a large group onto and off of Daniel Island during a sold-out show can be a logistical nightmare. There are only two main access points to the island (I-526 from North Charleston or Mt. Pleasant), and traffic bottlenecks are common.
When you book a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Charleston, you bypass the headache of finding parking in scattered lots or walking long distances in the humidity. Your driver can drop your group off near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for the merchandise stands or your seats. After the encore, you won’t have to fight for a rideshare signal among 10,000 other fans; your bus will be waiting to whisk you back to downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, or wherever your accommodations are. Whether you need a sleek minibus for a VIP corporate box group or a fleet of coaches for a fan club, we ensure your concert experience starts the moment you board.
Experience the Spoleto Festival USA in Style
For 17 days each spring, Charleston transforms into a global arts hub during the Spoleto Festival USA. This internationally renowned festival fills the city’s historic theaters, churches, and outdoor spaces with opera, theater, jazz, and dance. Venues are scattered throughout the peninsula, including the College of Charleston Cistern Yard (66 George St, Charleston, SC 29424), the Dock Street Theatre (135 Church St, Charleston, SC 29401), and the Charleston Gaillard Center (95 Calhoun St, Charleston, SC 29401). Trying to coordinate a large group to move between these venues—especially with the limited parking in the historic district—can be nearly impossible with personal vehicles.
Charter Bus Rental Company Charleston offers the perfect solution for arts patrons, school groups, and cultural tour groups attending Spoleto. A private minibus rental is agile enough to navigate the tighter streets of the historic district while providing air-conditioned comfort between performances. We can create a custom shuttle itinerary that moves your group from a matinee at the Dock Street Theatre to a dinner reservation on East Bay Street, and then to an evening jazz performance at the Cistern. With a driver handling the navigation, you can focus on the art and culture that makes Spoleto so unique.
Big Acts at the North Charleston Coliseum & PAC
Just a short drive from Charleston International Airport, the North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center (5001 Coliseum Dr, North Charleston, SC 29418) is the hub for indoor entertainment in the Lowcountry. Home to the South Carolina Stingrays hockey team and host to massive touring acts ranging from Disney on Ice to major comedy tours and rock bands, this venue draws crowds from across the state. While there is ample parking, the lots can be chaotic to exit after a big event, and if you are staying in downtown Charleston, the drive up I-26 can be stressful for out-of-towners.
Rent a charter bus for your group outing to the Coliseum and turn the commute into a tailgate on wheels. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with ample undercarriage storage, perfect for storing coolers and tailgating gear if you are heading to a Stingrays game or a pre-concert hangout. Inside, your group can enjoy reclining seats, watch hype videos on flat-screen monitors, and use the onboard restroom to avoid long lines at the venue. Whether you are bringing a youth group, a corporate team, or a large family, Charter Bus Rental Company Charleston ensures you arrive together and get home comfortably.
The High Water Festival at Riverfront Park
Curated by local folk-rock duo Shovels & Rope, the High Water Festival is a celebration of music, food, and Lowcountry culture held annually at Riverfront Park (1061 Everglades Ave, North Charleston, SC 29405). The festival takes place on the banks of the Cooper River and features a lineup of Americana, folk, and indie rock artists. While the setting is stunning, parking is extremely limited near the festival grounds, and many attendees are forced to park miles away and take crowded public shuttles.
Avoid the shuttle lines and the parking scramble by booking a private festival bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Charleston. We can pick your group up from a central location—like a hotel block in downtown Charleston or a rental home on Folly Beach—and drop you off as close to the festival entrance as possible. After a long day of music, sun, and local oysters, nothing beats sinking into a plush, air-conditioned seat for a direct ride home. The drivers know how to navigate the traffic patterns around Riverfront Park, ensuring you don't miss a beat of the festival experience.
Downtown Culture at the Gaillard Center & Music Farm
Charleston’s music scene is as diverse as its architecture. On one end of the spectrum, you have the Charleston Gaillard Center (95 Calhoun St, Charleston, SC 29401), a world-class performance hall that hosts the Charleston Symphony, ballets, and Broadway tours. On the other hand, you have the Music Farm (32 Ann St, Charleston, SC 29403), a legendary general-admission venue known for high-energy rock, hip-hop, and indie shows. Both are located on the peninsula, where parking is at a premium and street restrictions are strict.
Whether you are planning a black-tie gala evening at the Gaillard or a rowdy night out at the Music Farm, Charter Bus Rental Company Charleston has the vehicle to match the vibe. For formal events, our sleek minibuses and sprinter vans offer a sophisticated way to arrive. For concert groups, a party bus or standard minibus ensures everyone stays together and avoids the need for designated drivers. We can arrange drop-offs right on Calhoun Street or Ann Street, so your group doesn’t have to walk far in evening wear or concert gear. Enjoy the nightlife of Upper King Street after the show, knowing your driver is waiting to take everyone home comfortably.
Charleston Wine + Food Festival Group Transport
For foodies, the Charleston Wine + Food Festival is the event of the year. Centered around the Culinary Village in Marion Square (329 Meeting St, Charleston, SC 29403) but featuring dinners and workshops all over the city, this festival celebrates the best of Lowcountry cuisine. With wine tastings, cocktail workshops, and spirit seminars being a major part of the experience, having reliable transportation is an absolute necessity.
Charter Bus Rental Company Charleston provides the ultimate designated driver service for large groups attending Wine + Food. We can coordinate a custom shuttle schedule that takes your group from your hotel to the Culinary Village for the afternoon tasting, then to a signature dinner at a local restaurant, and finally back to your accommodation. With a private bus rental, you can sample the best vintages and craft cocktails Charleston has to offer without worrying about rideshare surges. Our buses offer comfortable seating and climate control, giving you a place to rest and hydrate between gastronomic adventures.
Cooper River Bridge Run Logistics Made Easy
The Cooper River Bridge Run is one of the largest 10k races in the world, attracting nearly 40,000 participants to cross the iconic Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. The race is a point-to-point event, starting in Mount Pleasant and finishing in downtown Charleston. For large running clubs, corporate teams, or charity groups, the logistics of getting runners to the start line and retrieving them from the finish line can be a headache involving early mornings and confusing boat or school bus shuttles.
Streamline your race day with a private charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Charleston. We can pick your team up from a designated location in the morning and transport you directly to the start line area in Mount Pleasant (near Simmons Street). Your runners can stay warm and dry on the bus, use the onboard restroom (a huge plus on race morning!), and leave their post-race gear securely on the bus. Your driver will then meet the group in downtown Charleston near the finish festival at Marion Square. It’s the most efficient, stress-free way to handle race logistics for a large group.

Frequently Asked Questions About Charleston Concert Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Charleston for a concert?
The cost of renting a charter bus in Charleston depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your rental, the time of year, and the distance traveled. Concert rentals are priced by the hour (with a 5-hour minimum) or by a flat daily rate. Because pricing varies based on availability and specific needs, the best way to get an accurate number is to call our team at 910-778-9850 for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your event.
How far in advance should I book transportation for a major Charleston event?
Charleston is a major tourist destination, and transportation demand spikes during events like Spoleto, SEWE, and the Bridge Run. We highly recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your date and headcount confirmed. Ideally, you should reserve your bus 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best pricing. For massive events like the Bridge Run or high-demand wedding weekends in the spring and fall, booking 6 to 9 months out is advisable.
Do you offer transportation to venues outside of downtown Charleston?
Absolutely! Charter Bus Rental Company Charleston serves the entire Lowcountry region and beyond. We regularly transport groups to venues like the Credit One Stadium on Daniel Island, the North Charleston Coliseum, The Windjammer on Isle of Palms, and events in Summerville, Kiawah Island, and Hilton Head. If you are planning a trip from Charleston to another city like Columbia, Savannah, or Charlotte for a concert, we can handle long-distance charters as well.
What amenities are included on your charter buses?
Our fleet offers a variety of premium amenities designed to make your trip comfortable. Most full-size charter buses come equipped with reclining seats, air conditioning (essential in Charleston!), onboard restrooms, overhead storage, and large luggage bays. Many buses also feature WiFi, power outlets at every seat, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players. Minibuses typically include A/C, comfortable seating, and sometimes WiFi/power outlets. If your group has specific requirements, such as ADA accessibility, please let us know when booking, and we will ensure you get the right vehicle.
