56 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 56-passenger charter bus fleet includes all the industry’s leading models: the MCI J4500 (up to 60 seats), MCI D4500 (up to 61 seats), Prevost H3-45 (up to 58 seats), Van Hool CX45 (up to 56 seats), and TEMSA TS45 (up to 56 seats). These are the same top-of-the-line coaches used by professional sports teams, major universities, Fortune 500 companies, and tour operators across the country—built for comfort, reliability, and performance on long-distance or regional trips. Each model offers advanced suspension for a smooth ride, powerful HVAC systems, integrated audio/video entertainment, and customizable interior layouts to fit your exact group size. When you request a quote, let us know if you have a preferred make or model—we’ll match you with the best available option in your area, or get you something comparable if that exact unit isn’t available.

Our 56-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to match your event, school, or company branding. Standard options include black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and even yellow—perfect for everything from corporate travel and sporting events to weddings and construction shuttles. If you need something truly unique, we also offer custom wraps in any color or design you choose—just provide your artwork or logo and we’ll handle the rest. Many clients opt for a full wrap to showcase their brand or team colors, while others prefer a classic solid color for a clean, professional look. Whatever your preference, we’ll make sure your bus looks great and represents your group exactly the way you want.

Every 56-passenger charter bus comes loaded with the best amenities to keep your group comfortable, connected, and entertained on the road. You’ll get high-back reclining seats with optional leatherette upholstery, folding armrests, footrests, and either three-point or lap belts depending on the model. Stay cool with powerful roof-mounted HVAC, catch up on emails or stream videos using onboard Wi-Fi, and plug into 110V/USB outlets at every row. There are up to six flat-screen monitors throughout the cabin, a DVD/Blu-ray player, Bluetooth/AUX audio, and a PA system with a corded or wireless mic. Store luggage in spacious underfloor bays and overhead parcel racks, and take advantage of the full-width rear window for great exterior visibility. Additional options include wood-look vinyl flooring, custom seat fabrics, and branding packages with headrest covers or window decals. If you need something specific—like upgraded AV equipment, a beverage station, or a custom wrap—just ask when you call. We’ve seen and done it all, and we’ll make sure your bus is set up exactly how you want it.

The cost to rent a 56-passenger charter bus typically ranges from $180 to $500+ per hour, $1,800 to $3,800 per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile—depending on your exact itinerary, trip length, and vehicle model. Final pricing is affected by factors like pickup location, distance traveled, number of days, seasonality, and local demand. Additional charges may include tolls, parking fees, and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. A standard gratuity is included in every quote.

The 56-passenger charter bus is the largest, most versatile, and most popular option in our fleet—perfect for moving big groups comfortably and efficiently over any distance. Compared to smaller minibuses (which seat 15–35), the 56-seater offers significantly more seating capacity, twice the luggage space (with both underfloor bays and overhead racks), and upgraded amenities like multiple video screens, a full PA system, onboard Wi-Fi, and a restroom. It’s ideal for anything that requires keeping a large group together: sports teams, school trips, corporate events, convention shuttles, or multi-bus operations. While it’s bigger than our 47 or 50-passenger models, it’s still maneuverable enough for city streets and tight venues. If you need to move fewer people, we have minibuses and mid-size coaches; if you need something even larger, we can run multiple 56-passenger buses together. This is the industry standard for big-group travel because it hits the sweet spot between capacity, comfort, and cost.

We recommend booking your 56-passenger charter bus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure the best selection and pricing—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or around major local events. Spring and fall tend to fill up quickly due to school trips, sports tournaments, and weddings, while summer sees high demand for camps and family reunions. In cities like Austin and San Antonio, large festivals and conventions can also impact availability. Last-minute reservations are possible, but your options may be limited and rates could be higher. Once you have your dates and headcount, contact us right away to lock in your vehicle—you can always adjust the details later if plans change.
