The perfect way to navigate King St. on a shopping excursion back to your hotel!
Getting around downtown Charleston should be part of the experience—not a hassle. Whether you’re heading to dinner, shopping on King Street, exploring the historic district, or simply trying to save your feet after a long day of walking, Charleston Bike Taxi offers a fast, fun, safe, scenic, and eco-friendly way to get around town.
And with bicycle taxi rides starting at just $9 per person for up to 10 minutes, it’s also a great value.
$9 Per Person Gets You Farther Than You Might Think
Downtown Charleston is compact, which makes it perfect for getting around by Bike Taxi or bicycle taxi. Many popular trips around the peninsula can be completed in 10 minutes or less, meaning your ride is just $9 per person.
That can cover trips between many of Charleston’s most popular areas, including King Street, the Charleston City Market, the French Quarter, Waterfront Park, Broad Street, Meeting Street, East Bay Street, and many of downtown’s hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, and attractions.
Instead of walking another 15 or 20 minutes, waiting for a rideshare, or dealing with downtown parking, simply look for one of our yellow bicycle taxis, hop in, and enjoy the ride.
How Charleston Bike Taxi Pricing Works
We believe downtown Charleston transportation should have simple, transparent, and consistent pricing.
The first 10 minutes are $9 per person.
If your bicycle taxi trip takes longer than 10 minutes, the fare simply continues at 90¢ per minute, per passenger.
For two passengers:
Up to 10 minutes: $18 total
After 10 minutes, the fare increases by $1.80 per additional minute.
For three passengers:
Up to 10 minutes: $27 total
After 10 minutes, the fare increases by $2.70 per additional minute.
That means you only pay more when your ride actually takes longer. There are no complicated zones to figure out—just straightforward, time-based pricing.

Transportation That’s Actually Part of Your Charleston Experience
Charleston is one of the most beautiful cities in the country, and getting from one destination to another doesn’t have to mean staring out the window of a car.
A Bike Taxi or pedicab ride lets you experience Charleston along the way.
Take in the architecture, historic streets, restaurants, shops, churches, parks, and Charleston scenery while enjoying an open-air ride through downtown. A bicycle taxi turns transportation into part of your Charleston experience rather than simply a way to get from Point A to Point B.
Our bikes are also zero-emission and human-powered, making a bicycle taxi an eco-friendly option for traveling short distances around downtown Charleston.
