Our fleet includes vehicles of every size, so you can easily find the perfect option for your group. Smaller teams and clubs will appreciate our 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger minibuses, while larger groups can ride together in a 56-passenger motorcoach. And with luggage bays and overhead storage, there’s plenty of room for equipment, instruments, and overnight bags.
Easy Campus Shuttles and Inter-campus Transportation
Navigating a busy campus can be a challenge—especially when buildings are spread out across the city. Keep students moving efficiently with a private campus shuttle that runs on your schedule. Columbia Coach Bus Service works with colleges and universities to provide custom shuttle services between academic buildings, residence halls, parking lots, and satellite campuses.
In Columbia, we’ve helped schools like UofSC operate shuttles between the main campus, Greek Village, and the new BullStreet District. Heading out of town? Book a charter bus for longer trips to regional campuses, research facilities, or study-abroad departures. We’ll follow your itinerary and make sure everyone gets where they need to go.
Custom Packages Built Around Your Itinerary
No two school trips are exactly alike—which is why we build custom packages around your itinerary. Tell us where you’re going, how many people are in your group, and what kind of schedule you need to keep. We’ll put together a transportation plan that hits every stop and fits within your budget.
Need multiple buses for a big event? Extra luggage space for band instruments? ADA-accessible seating for students with mobility needs? Just ask. We’re here to make your trip run smoothly from start to finish.
