They come equipped with LED lighting packages, wraparound seating and surround-sound speakers. Also, unlike limos they are tall enough that people can actually stand up and dance. With passenger capacity ranging from 16 &#8211; 60, they are our highest recommended vehicle if you have a group of 8 or more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/STRAIGHTENEDBUSINSIDE-1024x559.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1361\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/STRAIGHTENEDBUSINSIDE-1024x559.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/STRAIGHTENEDBUSINSIDE-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/STRAIGHTENEDBUSINSIDE-768x419.png 768w, https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/STRAIGHTENEDBUSINSIDE.png 1153w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One drawback is price as most party buses in Charleston will cost around $200 per hour if not more. However, it is easy to split that cost with a large group! You can also bring down the hourly rate by checking out Double Black&#8217;s weekday, half-day, full-day and multi-day discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-marketing-button uagb-marketing-btn__align-full uagb-marketing-btn__align-text-center uagb-marketing-btn__icon-before uagb-block-3c80d9ca wp-block-button\"><a href=\"\/charleston\/quote\/\" class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__link wp-block-button__link\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M160 32V64H288V32C288 14.33 302.3 0 320 0C337.7 0 352 14.33 352 32V64H400C426.5 64 448 85.49 448 112V160H0V112C0 85.49 21.49 64 48 64H96V32C96 14.33 110.3 0 128 0C145.7 0 160 14.33 160 32zM0 192H448V464C448 490.5 426.5 512 400 512H48C21.49 512 0 490.5 0 464V192zM328.1 304.1C338.3 295.6 338.3 280.4 328.1 271C319.6 261.7 304.4 261.7 295 271L200 366.1L152.1 319C143.6 309.7 128.4 309.7 119 319C109.7 328.4 109.7 343.6 119 352.1L183 416.1C192.4 426.3 207.6 426.3 216.1 416.1L328.1 304.1z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__title\">GET A QUOTE NOW<\/span><p class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__prefix\">Reserve your party bus today<\/p><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Charleston Limo Bus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s some debate on what exactly a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/services-offered\/\">Charleston limo bus<\/a>&nbsp;is compared to a party bus. Some people say they are pretty much the same thing while others point out that some limo buses do not have all of the features a party bus does, including laser lights and dance floors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest difference can be that some limo buses have row seating. In our opinion, this is a deal breaker! Row seating will divide your party up and be a major buzzkill. Meanwhile, wraparound seating provides an intimate setting that promotes a great party atmosphere. Also, it opens up the walkway to become a portable dance floor!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Charleston Limo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limos were once the epitome of luxury transportation. Unfortunately, most of them are in serious need of a face lift. Don&#8217;t be surprised if your limo has 90s interior and cigarette burns. However, if you are able to find a new limousine it can be a great method of transportation for groups of 4-8 passengers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While many limousine&nbsp;companies advertise that their vehicles can fit up to 10 people, we do not recommend limos to groups larger than 8. If you do book a limo with a group of 8+ all of your knees will be touching and there will be little room to relax or party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another drawback of classic limos is that their ceilings are quite low. This means you will not be able to dance on the limo and it can be difficult to even move seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with these drawbacks, we still recommend classic limousines for date nights and double date nights in Charleston\u2019s Lowcountry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Charleston SUV Limo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several SUV limos on the market including Hummer limos, Escalade limos and Chrysler 300 limos. While these vehicles are still not ideal for groups of 15+ we like them a lot more than classic limos. They still might not be tall enough to have a full on dance party, but at least you won&#8217;t have to crouch as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SUV limos also tend to be newer than classic limos, which means they have nicer interiors and better sound systems. Some of them even have LED lighting packages as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-08-at-12.11.54-PM-e1667401144823-1024x768-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1925\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-08-at-12.11.54-PM-e1667401144823-1024x768-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-08-at-12.11.54-PM-e1667401144823-1024x768-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-08-at-12.11.54-PM-e1667401144823-1024x768-1-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, they will traditionally cost more than classic limousines and can often cost close to the same as party buses. In which case we recommend booking a party bus for your next event in Charleston. This is because of the higher ceilings, larger capacity and dancefloors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion &#8211; Charleston Party Bus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/\">group transportation options in Charleston, SC<\/a>.&nbsp;If your budget allows, we recommend booking a party bus every time! This is because of their high ceilings, passenger capacities and entertainment systems. However, if your group is around 8 or less passengers we believe an SUV limo or classic limousine are both good options, depending on your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-call-to-action uagb-block-2ba826dc wp-block-button\"><div class=\"uagb-cta__wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-cta__title\">Need a Party Bus in Charleston?<\/h3><p class=\"uagb-cta__desc\">Experience <strong>Charleston&#8217;s Best Party Bus<\/strong> with Double Black. <br>Embrace the ultimate city ride experience, complete with vivid flat-screen TVs, LED mood lighting, high-fidelity sound, wraparound seating, and a stocked ice-cold bar.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"uagb-cta__buttons\"><a href=\"\/charleston\/party-bus\/\" class=\"uagb-cta__button-link-wrapper wp-block-button__link\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M256 0C114.6 0 0 114.6 0 256s114.6 256 256 256s256-114.6 256-256S397.4 0 256 0zM256 128c17.67 0 32 14.33 32 32c0 17.67-14.33 32-32 32S224 177.7 224 160C224 142.3 238.3 128 256 128zM296 384h-80C202.8 384 192 373.3 192 360s10.75-24 24-24h16v-64H224c-13.25 0-24-10.75-24-24S210.8 224 224 224h32c13.25 0 24 10.75 24 24v88h16c13.25 0 24 10.75 24 24S309.3 384 296 384z\"><\/path><\/svg>Learn More<\/a><a href=\"\/charleston\/quote\/\" class=\"uagb-cta-second__button wp-block-button__link\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\"><path d=\"M160 0C177.7 0 192 14.33 192 32V67.68C193.6 67.89 195.1 68.12 196.7 68.35C207.3 69.93 238.9 75.02 251.9 78.31C268.1 82.65 279.4 100.1 275 117.2C270.7 134.3 253.3 144.7 236.1 140.4C226.8 137.1 198.5 133.3 187.3 131.7C155.2 126.9 127.7 129.3 108.8 136.5C90.52 143.5 82.93 153.4 80.92 164.5C78.98 175.2 80.45 181.3 82.21 185.1C84.1 189.1 87.79 193.6 95.14 198.5C111.4 209.2 136.2 216.4 168.4 225.1L171.2 225.9C199.6 233.6 234.4 243.1 260.2 260.2C274.3 269.6 287.6 282.3 295.8 299.9C304.1 317.7 305.9 337.7 302.1 358.1C295.1 397 268.1 422.4 236.4 435.6C222.8 441.2 207.8 444.8 192 446.6V480C192 497.7 177.7 512 160 512C142.3 512 128 497.7 128 480V445.1C127.6 445.1 127.1 444.1 126.7 444.9L126.5 444.9C102.2 441.1 62.07 430.6 35 418.6C18.85 411.4 11.58 392.5 18.76 376.3C25.94 360.2 44.85 352.9 60.1 360.1C81.9 369.4 116.3 378.5 136.2 381.6C168.2 386.4 194.5 383.6 212.3 376.4C229.2 369.5 236.9 359.5 239.1 347.5C241 336.8 239.6 330.7 237.8 326.9C235.9 322.9 232.2 318.4 224.9 313.5C208.6 302.8 183.8 295.6 151.6 286.9L148.8 286.1C120.4 278.4 85.58 268.9 59.76 251.8C45.65 242.4 32.43 229.7 24.22 212.1C15.89 194.3 14.08 174.3 17.95 153C25.03 114.1 53.05 89.29 85.96 76.73C98.98 71.76 113.1 68.49 128 66.73V32C128 14.33 142.3 0 160 0V0z\"><\/path><\/svg>Get a Quote<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:1.5rem;margin-bottom:1.5rem\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking for a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doubleblacktransportation.com\/charleston\/\">party bus in Charleston, SC<\/a>&nbsp;check out Double Black\u2019s state-of-the-art vehicles that are designed with your party in mind!
