Compare minibuses from the network in seconds!

Full-size charter buses come with reclining seats, individual climate control, overhead storage compartments, WiFi on select models, and undercarriage luggage bays — more than enough room for everyone's formal wear, bags, and everything else the night calls for.
Whether you're moving a large group from Dutch Fork High School to a venue on Lincoln Street, or coordinating arrivals from across Richland and Lexington counties, one charter bus handles it all. Compare available charter buses and pricing from the network right now!

Book as early as possible — ideally by January or February for April and May prom dates. Columbia-area prom season is extremely competitive because schools across Richland County and Lexington County all hold their proms in the same short window. Spring Valley, Dutch Fork, Irmo, Lexington, River Bluff, and Chapin proms frequently land on the same weekends, which means every group in the metro is looking for buses at the same time.
Waiting until March risks higher prices and limited availability.
It depends on your headcount! A 15-passenger party bus works well for a smaller, tight-knit friend group. A 20- to 30-passenger party bus is the most popular choice for a typical Columbia prom squad.
If your group is larger — 40 or more — a charter bus or a full-size 50-passenger party bus keeps everyone together without splitting into multiple vehicles. Fill out the quote form with your exact passenger count to instantly see which sizes are available and what each one costs for your date.
Absolutely! Multi-stop pickup routes are one of the most common requests for Columbia prom transportation. Whether your pickups are spread across Irmo, Lexington, Blythewood, northeast Columbia, or anywhere else in the metro, one bus can run a custom route hitting every stop before heading to the venue.
Just list your pickup addresses and preferred order when you fill out the quote form, or call 803-376-9230 and a live agent will build the full itinerary package for you.
A party bus or charter bus can drop your group off at virtually any Columbia prom venue — The Palmetto Club on Sumter Street, The Hall at Senate's End, the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center on Lincoln Street, The Marriott Columbia downtown, Embassy Suites Greystone, Township Auditorium on Taylor Street, Seawell's on Rosewood Drive, and any other venue your school has chosen. Always confirm your venue's drop-off zone or loading area in advance, especially for downtown locations where weekend traffic around the Vista and Main Street can be heavy.
At the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center (1101 Lincoln St, Columbia, SC 29201), the adjacent CMCC lot has 278 spaces and limited complimentary parking on a first-come, first-served basis, while parking in the rear lot is not permitted. If the event uses the lower-level loading dock, your bus approaches from Lincoln Street past Colonial Life Arena, turns right on Greene Street, then right on Gadsden Street to reach the ramp; the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center loading and load-out directions spell out the route. Your bus gets the group to the correct entrance and clears the loading zone instead of sitting where unattended vehicles can be towed.
For the Marriott Columbia (1200 Hampton Street, Columbia, SC 29201), current self-parking is $19 per day, valet parking is $33 per day, and garage access is handled through the front desk while hotel parking renovations are underway; the Marriott Columbia hotel information and parking details provide the current figures. Your bus keeps the hotel arrival together while the published parking cost stays separate from your transportation quote.
Yes! The network of bus companies available through Busrentalcolumbia.com serves all of Columbia and the entire surrounding metro — including Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, West Columbia, Cayce, Blythewood, Elgin, and beyond. Whether your group is starting the night in a Lexington neighborhood near Augusta Highway, a subdivision off Harbison Boulevard in Irmo, or anywhere else in the area, you can find and compare buses that pick up right at your location.
