55 Passenger Charter Bus

Our fleet of 55-passenger charter buses includes top models from industry-leading manufacturers such as MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Temsa. Specific models include the MCI J4500 and D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and Temsa TS45. These coaches are known for their reliability, comfort, and advanced features, making them a preferred choice for long-distance travel and large events. Each model offers a slightly different interior layout and amenity package, but all are built to the highest standards of quality and performance. If you have a preference for a specific manufacturer or model, please let us know when booking—we will do our best to accommodate your request based on availability.

We offer 55-passenger charter buses in a variety of exterior colors to match the style and formality of your event. Standard color options include classic black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. For corporate events, weddings, or other special occasions, we also provide custom wrap services so you can brand the bus with company logos, school colors, or personalized graphics. Whether you need a sleek all-black coach for a business function or a fully wrapped bus for a sports team, we have options to suit your needs. Please specify your color preference when booking so we can match you with the right vehicle.

Standard amenities on our 55-passenger buses include reclining seats with footrests, individual reading lights, climate control, multiple flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system, WiFi, power outlets/USB ports, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a rear lavatory. Additional features include tinted windows, hardwood-look flooring, and advanced sound systems. These amenities are designed to keep passengers comfortable and entertained on long trips. If you require something specific, such as seatback tray tables or extra monitors, please let us know.

Renting a 55-passenger charter bus typically costs between $1,800 and $3,800 per day, $180 to $500+ per hour, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile. Final pricing depends on several variables including the length of your trip, the number of days/hours required, the time of year, and the departure city. Major hubs like Charlotte and Greensboro may have slightly lower rates due to higher fleet availability, while trips originating in smaller towns could incur repositioning fees. Peak season (spring/fall) and special events (weddings, sports playoffs) often see increased demand and higher prices. Additional expenses not included in the base quote may include parking fees at venues, tolls along the route, and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Gratuity is included in the quote, but customers are responsible for incidental costs. To get an exact quote, call our team with your full itinerary—we’ll give you a transparent, all-inclusive estimate so you can budget confidently.

The 55-passenger charter bus is the largest and most fully featured vehicle in our fleet, offering significantly more seating, storage, and amenities than smaller options like minibuses or sprinter vans. Compared to a 25- or 35-passenger minibus, the 55-passenger coach provides twice the capacity, full underfloor luggage bays, and additional features such as a rear lavatory, multiple video monitors, and a full PA system. This makes it the best choice for long-distance travel, large events, or any situation where you need to move a substantial number of people with all their gear. While smaller buses are ideal for short shuttles or small groups, the 55-passenger model is built for comfort and convenience on extended trips. If you’re unsure which size is right for your group, our team can help you compare options and choose the best bus for your needs.

We recommend booking your 55-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure the best selection and pricing, especially if your trip falls during peak season or coincides with a major local event. Spring and summer are the busiest times of year due to school trips, weddings, and sporting events, so availability can become limited quickly. Large events in nearby cities—such as college graduations, music festivals, or playoff games in Charlotte—also tend to book up the fleet weeks or even months ahead of time. If you’re planning an out-of-state trip or require multiple buses, securing your reservation early gives you the widest choice of vehicles and the most flexibility with scheduling. Last-minute bookings are possible if a coach is available, but waiting until the final weeks may limit your options and increase the cost. Once you have confirmed dates and a rough itinerary, it’s best to place a deposit and lock in your bus. This guarantees that a vehicle will be held for your group and allows ample time to finalize trip details, request special amenities, or adjust the schedule as needed.
