Take Your Vacation for a Ride

Last year, travels to Charleston were popular. In fact, Charleston is so fantastic that tens of thousands of people call it home. From the minute you get to Charleston International (CHS), you'll have a mind for new experiences and be excited to sightsee in this city.

You could use buses to make your way around after you are settled into your accommodations. But since CHS is one of the busiest airports in the world, you might find it tough to get a place on the bus. Or, you can always line up for a taxi once you have grabbed your bags. Plus, you might find getting around the downtown district is best done on foot. We suggest you should bid so long to staying beholden to the bus schedule and howdy to a vacation on your own terms. Having your own wheels unleashes the full potential of your trip. When you're behind the wheel, you're able to sightsee in Charleston on your when you want.
