Charleston, South Carolina

Looking for a charming and friendly place to take a group, somewhere with a rich history, vibrant culture and amazing food? How about Charleston, South Carolina?

It's an old city, though, with many narrow streets and lots of twists and turns. Don't turn your trip into work by trying to navigate Charleston on your own. With a charter bus rental from US Coachways, you can share the experience with everyone else while we handle the details.

Enjoy All Charleston Has to Offer

Founded in 1670 and named in honor of King Charles II, Charleston offers much to pique the interests of history buffs. Among the city's many historic treasures are:

Historic Fort Sumter — Take a boat tour out in Charleston Harbor to the historic site where the first shots of the American Civil War were fired. Located just over a mile from the heart of the city, Fort Sumter is now part of Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historic Park, which includes a visitor education center.
Rainbow Row — So named because of the bright pastel colors on the various facades, this collection of 13 houses is the longest side-by-side array of Georgian-style row houses in America. Built during the American Colonial period, the houses on Rainbow Row are among the most photographed locations in the world.
The historic homes — Charleston is a veritable museum of classical architectural styles, as found in many of the city's oldest homes. The Nathaniel Russell House is considered by many to be one of the best examples of neoclassical architecture in the country and the Aiken-Rhett House, built in 1820, blends Adam, Revival and Victorian architectural influences in the same structure. Both are available for tours.
The historic plantations — Charleston was in the heart of the deep South, home to many storied plantations. You can tour Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens, where they've produced crops for more than 300 years. The Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, one of the oldest in the country, spans more than 450 acres, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

There's more to Charleston, though, than the history. It's an exciting and diverse city, offering world-class cuisine, unique shopping experiences and a wide array of visual and performing arts:

Take in the Charleston vibe on King Street — The cultural epicenter of Charleston, King Street offers stunning architecture, virtually endless shopping, open air bars and cozy little restaurants. Visit the legendary "King Street Fashion District," with high-end boutiques and nationally known retailers, as well as some of the best antique emporiums you'll find anywhere. King Street is packed with great places to eat, offering everything from Lowcountry to oyster bars, sandwich shops and seafood places. Visit on the second Sunday of the any month and you won't have to worry about traffic—the street is closed to motor vehicles.
Discover local art — Charleston has over 40 galleries in the downtown area, many of which are found in the city's French Quarter. One of the local customs—a complementary glass of wine while you peruse the art!
Get a great view – Rooftop bars are everywhere in Charleston—the city boasts more than 20. It's a great place to relax and take in the city on a balmy summer night.

You'll appreciate the many features of a charter bus, but you want to take the time to be certain you have the ideal coach for your group and your trip. At US Coachways, we'll learn as much as we can about your event—how many attendees you expect, where you're coming from and where you're going, where you want to stop, what you need to bring or take home, and any other special needs of your participants. Then we'll reach out to our huge national network of charter bus service providers to find the bus that best meets your needs.

If you are visiting Charleston with a small-to-medium-sized entourage, we recommend the mini-bus, with seating for anywhere from 24 to 35 passengers.

Multiple bus rentals are always an option and ADA-compliant coaches can be rented.

Most charter buses come with high-back bucket seats, climate control, a great stereo system and plenty of storage space.
