Augusta Party Buses, Charter Buses & Minibuses

The 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the go-to pick for bridal parties, VIP corporate transfers, and airport runs from Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) where a standard SUV just doesn't cut it for a full group with luggage. Expect premium leather seating, mood lighting, and a sound system built for the moment — all in a vehicle that handles Augusta's downtown streets and the Broad Street corridor without a second thought. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$325; weekend hourly rates run $225–$350.

When the priority is a clean, point-to-point transfer rather than a party setup, the Sprinter Van Rental with Driver handles the job efficiently — think executive airport runs between AGS and the hotel corridor on Washington Road, or shuttling a corporate team from the Augusta Marriott to a plant tour out in the industrial corridor along I-20. Seats up to 14 with overhead storage for bags, and rates run $200–$275 per hour on weekdays and $225–$375 on weekends.

A 15-passenger party bus is the right fit for a tightly knit group hitting Augusta's bar scene along Broad Street — Stillwater Taproom, Frog Hollow Tavern, and Sky Bar are all within easy walking distance of each other once you're dropped downtown, so the bus stages nearby while your group moves on foot between stops. LED lighting, a premium sound system, and wraparound seating come standard. Weekday rates start at $200/hr; weekend rates from $250/hr.

Eighteen passengers is the sweet spot for a bachelorette group that wants the party-bus experience without paying for seats that go empty. An 18-passenger party bus fits a full bridal party with room to move — great for a night that starts at a Summerville wine bar, swings through downtown Augusta's cocktail scene, and ends back at a rental house off Wheeler Road. Weekday hourly rates run $275–$350; weekend hourly rates $275–$400.

A 20-passenger party bus handles the mid-size group that a standard Sprinter can't fit — birthday parties, corporate happy hours, and reunion outings where the group lands somewhere between 16 and 20 people. Drop-off along Reynolds Street near the Riverwalk Augusta is easy for a 20-passenger vehicle, and the bus can stage in nearby surface lots while your group explores the Augusta Canal Discovery Center or catches an event at the amphitheater. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350.

Masters Week is the single busiest transportation period in Augusta — Washington Road becomes gridlocked by 7 a.m. on tournament days, and rideshare surge pricing can triple by mid-morning. A 25-passenger party bus keeps a full hospitality group together and moving on a fixed schedule instead of scattering across a congested corridor. The same vehicle works perfectly for a rehearsal dinner shuttle between the Sacred Heart Cultural Center and a Broad Street reception.

Rates run $250–$375/hr on weekends.

Corporate groups coordinating meetings at the Augusta Convention Center (2 10th St, Augusta, GA 30901) and evening events across the river in North Augusta sometimes need a vehicle that seats a full department — a 28-passenger party bus handles that count without stepping up to full charter bus pricing. It fits comfortably on downtown Augusta streets and can drop at the Convention Center's entrance without the maneuvering overhead of a 45-foot motorcoach. Weekend hourly rates run $275–$375.

A 30-passenger party bus is a strong pick for large graduation parties and quinceañera groups that need the amenities — flat-panel TVs, a sound system, LED lighting — alongside enough room for 30 guests to actually enjoy the ride. For Augusta groups heading to a venue out on Bobby Jones Expressway or one of the event spaces in Evans, GA, this size handles the highway stretch comfortably. Weekend hourly rates run $325–$425; full-day rates reach $2,350–$3,050.

When a fan group, a company outing, or a large family reunion clears 35 people, a 40-passenger party bus is the move. SRP Park (187 Railroad Ave, North Augusta, SC 29841) sits across the Savannah River — a short hop from downtown Augusta — and on GreenJackets game nights, the Bridge Street corridor near the stadium fills up fast. A 40-passenger bus drops your group at the stadium entrance and handles the return trip without anyone worrying about who's driving back over the bridge.

Weekend rates run $325–$500/hr.

The 50-passenger party bus is Augusta's largest party-format vehicle and the right call for major corporate events, large prom groups across Richmond County school districts, and Masters hospitality packages where a full client roster needs to move together in style. Prom season in Augusta — typically late April through May — mirrors demand patterns statewide: availability on 50-passenger buses tightens fast, and weekend pricing jumps. Book months ahead, not weeks.

Weekend hourly rates run $325–$500; per-day rates reach $2,150–$4,050.

A 15-35 passenger minibus earns its keep on Augusta trips where maneuverability matters — navigating the tight lot at Miller Theater (708 Broad Street, Augusta, GA 30901), staging near the Hill neighborhood for a gallery crawl, or running a tight airport shuttle circuit between AGS and multiple downtown hotels. Climate control and reclining seats make the ride comfortable; the compact footprint means the bus fits where a full motorcoach can't. Weekday rates start at $200/hr, with per-day rates from $1,100–$2,150.

For school field trips out to Phinizy Swamp Nature Park, long-haul team travel, or conference groups moving between the Augusta Marriott and satellite event venues, a 40-56 passenger charter bus is the practical answer — undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, overhead storage, and WiFi on select vehicles make the distance easy. It's also the standard vehicle for Masters Week shuttle circuits when a large hospitality group needs one consistent, on-schedule option. Weekday and weekend hourly rates both run $200–$350; per-day rates from $1,350–$2,850.
