Charter Buses to Charlotte, Myrtle Beach, and Beyond South Carolina
Browse the full range of long-distance routes Columbia groups take most — and find a bus for every one of them! The I-77 corridor to Charlotte is one of the most traveled, putting Bank of America Stadium (800 S Mint St, Charlotte, NC 28202) and Spectrum Center (333 E Trade St, Charlotte, NC 28202) about 100 miles and 1.5 hours away. I-26 east to Charleston runs about 115 miles and two hours, making it a natural for bachelorette weekends, wedding parties, and Spoleto Festival trips in late May and early June.
And US-378 east to Myrtle Beach is roughly 160 miles — a classic beach run for spring break groups, family reunions, and golf outings. Compare buses for all of it right here!
Whatever the Distance, the Right Bus Is in the Network for Your Columbia Group
Whatever your group is planning, there is a bus sized and equipped for the trip! A quick run to Augusta for the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club (2604 Washington Rd, Augusta, GA 30904) is about 70 miles out I-20 West — fast enough for a day trip, significant enough that you want one vehicle and one plan instead of a five-car caravan. A longer haul to Atlanta puts your group at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (2000 Maynard H. Jackson Jr Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30354) or the Georgia World Congress Center (285 Andrew Young International Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30313) in about four to four and a half hours.

USC Away Game Travel and Gamecock Fan Charters Made Easy
With one search, you can line up a charter bus for every University of South Carolina away game on the schedule! Gamecock fans know the drill — a road trip to Clemson's Memorial Stadium (100 Memorial Stadium Rd, Clemson, SC 29634) is about 90 miles up I-26 West, and away games in Nashville, Knoxville, or Baton Rouge mean a full travel day each way. Instead of coordinating a caravan of cars and losing half your group at a rest stop, one motorcoach keeps everyone together, the pregame energy building the whole way there. Columbiasccharterbusservices.com makes it easy to compare buses for any away game destination, any date.

Fort Jackson Family Travel and Multi-Day Group Charters
For easy group travel to Fort Jackson (4325 Jackson Blvd, Columbia, SC 29207) graduation ceremonies and beyond, Columbiasccharterbusservices.com helps families coordinate from across the Southeast without the headache of individual cars. Fort Jackson is one of the largest Army Basic Combat Training installations in the country, and graduation weekends draw families from Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and further. A charter bus picks everyone up at one central point, handles the drive, and keeps the group together for the whole celebration.
Multi-day packages are available through the network too, so if your group is combining a graduation visit with time in Columbia or continuing on to another destination, the right bus and the right package are right here!
Graduation-day access has a specific playbook: everyone age 18 or older needs a visitor pass beginning August 1, 2026, and the recommended routes are Gate 2 on Forest Drive or Gate 4 at 6271 Boyden Arbor Rd; blue lines from the gates lead to Hilton Field, so your bus follows the marked route instead of GPS. Use the Fort Jackson Family Day and Graduation visitor guide for the current entry map.
Whether You're Going to Savannah, Hilton Head, or Washington, DC
Whether your group is heading south to Savannah, Georgia for a destination wedding or a historic district tour (~175 miles via I-26 East and I-95 South), out to Hilton Head Island for the RBC Heritage or a corporate retreat (~150 miles via I-26 East and US-278), or all the way north to Washington, DC for a government advocacy trip or school group (~475 miles via I-85 North and I-95 North), Columbiasccharterbusservices.com connects you to long-distance buses built for the haul. Full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches with onboard restrooms, WiFi, reclining seats, and undercarriage luggage bays make every mile easier.

Once submitted, you land on a results page through a national booking platform showing available buses and pricing from independent operators serving your route. Review the vehicles, compare packages, and book the one that works for your group right online — no account required.
If you'd rather talk it through, 803-769-5920 is answered every day of the year and a live agent can help you put together a custom package.
Book three to six months out for most long-distance trips, and push that to six months or more for high-demand dates. Masters Tournament week in Augusta (early April) is one of the tightest windows in the region — buses across the Columbia-to-Augusta corridor fill fast. USC away game weekends, Myrtle Beach spring break (March through May), and Spoleto Festival trips to Charleston in late May and early June also book early.
The sooner you compare, the more options you'll have at the better prices.
Augusta, Georgia is about 70 miles via I-20 West — roughly one hour off-peak, longer during Masters week. Charleston is approximately 115 miles via I-26 East, about two hours. Charlotte is around 100 miles via I-77 North, one and a half to two hours.
Myrtle Beach runs about 160 miles via US-378 East, two and a half to three hours. Savannah is roughly 175 miles via I-26 East and I-95 South. Atlanta is approximately 215 miles and four to four and a half hours via I-20 West.
No major toll roads run along the primary long-distance corridors out of Columbia. I-26, I-77, and I-20 are all toll-free through South Carolina and into the early stretches of Georgia and North Carolina. That makes Columbia one of the more straightforward long-distance charter bus markets in the Southeast — your group's all-in transportation cost is the bus, not the bus plus a series of toll stops.
When you request your quote, you'll see the price for your route without surprise add-ons.
Yes, and it's one of the most common long-distance use cases in the network. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) (5501 Josh Birmingham Pkwy, Charlotte, NC 28208) is about 100 miles north via I-77 — a straightforward 90-minute run for groups who find better flight options out of Charlotte than out of Columbia Metropolitan Airport. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is roughly 215 miles west.
Just include your airport, terminal, and flight time when you request your quote so the timing is built into the package from the start.
For departures from Columbia Metropolitan Airport, the public curb in front of the terminal is on the upper level for immediate pickup and drop-off only; ground-transportation pickup is on the lower level in baggage claim, so your bus can load the group at the right level instead of circling the terminal. Columbia Metropolitan Airport's ground transportation page shows the lower-level pickup locations.
Multi-day packages are available through the network of operators serving Columbia. Whether you need a bus for a two-day Myrtle Beach trip, a three-day run to Washington, DC for a school or government group, or a full week for a sports tournament circuit, you can request a multi-day quote using the online form or by calling 803-769-5920. A live agent can help you build a custom package that covers every leg of your itinerary, including any overnight stops along the way.
Just share your full trip details and the team will put together the right package for you.
