Wedding Transportation in Charleston, SC

Wedding transportation in Charleston ranges from $150–$500 per hour for limousines and luxury sedans, to $500–$1,500+ for vintage cars, trolleys, and party buses. A typical wedding day package (ceremony to reception, plus post-wedding departure) runs $600–$2,000. Horse-drawn carriages through downtown Charleston run $200–$400.

Charleston offers a wide range: vintage and classic cars, stretch limousines, luxury SUVs, trolleys (perfect for shuttling large bridal parties), party buses, horse-drawn carriages (iconic for downtown ceremonies), golf carts (for plantation grounds), and shuttle buses for guest transport between hotels and venues.

If your venue is outside downtown Charleston or parking is limited, guest shuttles are a thoughtful addition. This is especially true for plantation venues like Boone Hall or Middleton Place, waterfront venues, and any venue where guests will be drinking. Loop shuttles to nearby hotel blocks are common and generally cost $200–$600 for the evening.

Book transportation 6–9 months ahead for peak dates. Popular trolley and vintage car companies fill quickly for Saturday afternoons in spring and fall. For unique vehicles like horse-drawn carriages or antique cars, inquire 9–12 months out.

Horse-drawn carriages in Charleston are subject to city regulations including designated routes and operating hour restrictions (they cannot operate after 11pm). Confirm your ceremony and reception timing with your carriage company early. For late receptions or venues outside the carriage zone, a vintage car or luxury vehicle is a practical alternative.
