Private Tour Bus Rental
Private Tour Bus Rental for Groups of Any Size
Touring Charleston on foot or piecing together rideshares between stops works for a couple, not a group. A field trip of 30 students, a family road trip through the Lowcountry, or a tour operator moving 200 travelers across a multi-day itinerary needs something a single car can’t provide: one vehicle, one driver, one schedule, and a route built around the group’s actual plan rather than a fixed loop. Every Southeast Bus Rentals booking is a private tour bus rental, not a shared shuttle or a fixed sightseeing loop. You get the vehicle, the driver, and the route, built around your itinerary alone.
We’ve provided this charter service for Charleston’s tour season since 2006, with a fleet that scales from a small sightseeing group to a full convention moving between plantations, historic sites, and Lowcountry landmarks in a single coordinated day.

Questions
Tour Transportation FAQs
Southeast Bus Rentals provides the vehicle and professional driver for your Charleston tour. If your group is working with a separate tour guide or Gullah Geechee historian, we coordinate our route and timing around their itinerary, whether that’s a walking tour of the Historic District or a guided stop at Boone Hall Plantation.
We’re a charter transportation provider based in Charleston, not a tour operator. Many Lowcountry tour operators, travel agencies, and independent groups book their tour bus rental through us and bring their own itinerary or guide for sites like Magnolia Plantation, Rainbow Row, or the Sea Islands.Yes. Once your airport transportation is booked, we monitor your flight for delays, early arrivals, and gate changes, and adjust your driver’s timing automa
Yes. Multi-stop touring days are one of our most common bookings, whether that’s several downtown Charleston landmarks like the City Market and Rainbow Row in a morning, or a combination of Historic District sites and outlying plantation grounds like Boone Hall or Magnolia Plantation in an afternoon.
We move up to 800 passengers, coordinating multiple vehicles together for large school groups, tour operator itineraries, or conventions touring Charleston and the greater Lowcountry.
As early as possible, especially during spring field trip season or peak Charleston tourism months. Our team responds to quote requests in 30 minutes or less, so last-minute bookings for downtown Historic District tours or Sea Islands excursions are often still possible.

Vehicles seating 14 or more passengers require a 50% deposit to confirm your reservation. Smaller vehicles typically don’t require a deposit, ask our team when you request a quote for your Charleston tour.
It depends on your group size and itinerary. A sedan or SUV suits a small private tour of downtown Charleston, a sprinter van fits a small family or school group heading out to the Sea Islands, and our coaches (27 to 51 passengers) handle larger school, reunion, or tour operator groups touring the Historic District and Lowcountry plantations in one trip.
