Columbia to Charlotte, Myrtle Beach, and Beyond — One Bus Handles the Whole Trip
Choose your destination and leave the driving to someone else! Columbia sits at the crossroads of three major interstates — I-26, I-20, and I-77 — making it one of the best-positioned cities in the Southeast for long-distance group travel. Charlotte is just 95 miles north on I-77, about an hour and a half on a clear day.
Myrtle Beach is roughly 170 miles east via US-378, a classic two-and-a-half-hour beach run. Savannah, Atlanta, Asheville, and Hilton Head are all within a half-day’s ride. Instead of splitting your group across a caravan of cars, one charter bus keeps everyone together, comfortable, and on schedule from the moment you leave Columbia to the moment you arrive.
Compare buses and pricing for any of these routes through Busrentalcolumbia.com in seconds!
Charter Buses to The Masters, SEC Away Games, and Every Major Regional Event
Book your long-distance charter before the calendar fills! Columbia groups have some of the most sought-after regional events right on their doorstep, and the buses go fast. The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club (2604 Washington Rd, Augusta, GA 30904) runs April 5–11, 2027 — just 70 miles west on I-20 — and it is consistently the single highest-demand week for charter buses in the entire Columbia market.
Your bus should follow the Augusta National Golf Club parking map from I-20 Exit 199 at Washington Road or Exit 200 at Alexander Drive, because temporary turn restrictions and road closures are in place during Tournament week. USC Gamecocks football away-game charters to SEC stadiums in Athens, Knoxville, Tuscaloosa, and Baton Rouge fill up fast every fall. The RBC Heritage at Hilton Head runs in April, and Spoleto Festival USA brings arts groups to Charleston every late May.

Multi-Day Trips to Orlando, Atlanta, and the Southeast Made Simple
Don’t let a multi-day trip feel complicated! Busrentalcolumbia.com makes it easy to compare full-size motorcoaches built for the long haul — with onboard restrooms, reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays that hold a full suitcase per passenger. Columbia is roughly eight to nine hours from Orlando via I-26 and I-95, and about three hours from Atlanta on I-20. Groups heading to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, or a multi-day conference in Atlanta can compare motorcoaches and multi-day packages in one quick form.
Just keep in mind that overnight bus parking at Disney World runs approximately $40 per night and at Universal Orlando approximately $42 per night, and those costs are not included in your quote. Call 803-376-9230 to put together a custom multi-day package!
Keeping Fort Jackson Families and Personnel Moving Across the Region
Keeping military families connected is important, and Busrentalcolumbia.com makes arranging group transportation for Fort Jackson events straightforward! Fort Jackson (4325 Jackson Blvd, Columbia, SC 29207) is the largest U.S. Army basic combat training installation in the country, welcoming tens of thousands of soldiers and their families every year for graduation ceremonies, family day events, and unit moves. For Basic Training Family Day and Graduation, your bus should enter through Gate 2 on Forest Drive or Gate 4 at 6271 Boyden Arbor Rd; blue lines from either gate lead to Hilton Field, so your bus can follow the marked route instead of GPS.
Everyone age 18 or older needs a visitor’s pass for installation access beginning August 1, 2026; the Fort Jackson Family Day and Graduation Visitor’s Guide has the gate and pass instructions. When family members are traveling from Charlotte, Atlanta, or across the Carolinas to attend a graduation, coordinating a charter bus keeps the whole group together and on time — no juggling rental cars or navigating an unfamiliar post. Busrentalcolumbia.com helps you compare minibuses and full-size motorcoaches for any Fort Jackson-related group travel need. Fill out one quick form or call 803-376-9230 to find the right bus!
Find the Right Bus for Every USC Gamecocks Away-Game Road Trip
Find your away-game charter before kickoff season arrives! USC Gamecocks fans know that road trips to SEC stadiums are some of the best experiences in college football — and some of the most logistically challenging. Driving a convoy of cars to Sanford Stadium in Athens, Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, or Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge is one thing.
Boarding a 56-passenger motorcoach together, with your coolers stowed in the luggage bays and everyone in the same vehicle from Columbia to kickoff, is something else entirely. Busrentalcolumbia.com connects you with motorcoaches equipped for long-haul SEC road trips, with reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, and onboard restrooms for the longer drives. Compare buses and pricing for any Gamecocks away-game destination through the online tool or by calling 803-376-9230!

For high-demand events — The Masters in Augusta (April 5–11, 2027), USC Gamecocks SEC away games, and Myrtle Beach spring break weekends in March and April — book six months or more in advance. These dates pull from the same pool of available motorcoaches across the entire region, and waiting means higher rates and fewer options.
Full-size motorcoaches typically include reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays.
