More About School Buses
You'll have access to two primary school bus types through the network, and each one serves a very different kind of group trip in Charleston. The Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a smart pick for smaller youth groups, academic clubs, or a tight-knit class heading to The Charleston Museum (360 Meeting St, Charleston, SC 29403). Need to move a bigger crowd?
A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, which is ideal for full-grade field trips, athletic teams, or large church youth groups traveling together across the Lowcountry. The Charleston Museum's guided tours are capped at 30 students, so plan your group transportation with that tour limit in mind. Compare both through Charterbusrentalcharlestonsc.com in seconds!

Many buses also offer reclining options and additional undercarriage storage for athletic equipment and luggage. Charles Towne Landing's school programs start at the Visitor Center beside the parking lot, and self-guided school groups can include up to 200 students.

At the South Carolina Aquarium (100 Aquarium Wharf, Charleston, SC 29401), school buses may park in the Bus Lane behind the Aquarium Garage, reached from Washington Street; school buses don't need the permit required for other oversized vehicles. That gives your class one bus drop-off and parking point for the visit.
At Magnolia Plantation and Gardens (3550 Ashley River Rd, Charleston, SC 29414), onsite parking is free for guests. Renting one bus for your group means students arrive together instead of coordinating separate rides.
