54 Passenger Charter Bus

Our fleet includes the most popular and trusted 54-passenger charter buses in the industry, with multiple options available in every major city—including the MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45—all built to handle big groups, long-distance travel, and any kind of event you’ve got planned. These are the same high-end coaches used by professional sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, and major universities because they’re comfortable, reliable, and loaded with amenities that make a difference on the road. You’ll get forward-facing seats with either cloth or upgraded leatherette upholstery, three-point seatbelts, powerful HVAC systems designed for Northwest weather, and one of the smoothest rides available thanks to advanced suspension and soundproofing. Need to store luggage or equipment? Every model comes with huge underfloor cargo bays and overhead parcel racks inside the cabin. Flat-screen monitors, DVD players, PA microphones, and optional WiFi packages are standard across the board so your passengers can stay entertained or get work done while traveling. When you book a 54-passenger charter bus from Charter Bus Company Lacey, you’re getting a modern, heavy-duty vehicle built for serious transportation—and backed by the best customer service in the business.

Our 54-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of exterior colors—including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow—so you can choose the look that best fits your event, organization, or personal preference. We also offer custom vinyl wraps and decal packages for groups that want to add branding, logos, or special graphics to their bus—perfect for sports teams, corporate clients, and wedding parties who want something that stands out. Interior color schemes include standard charcoal or tan seating fabrics, with optional upgrades to two-tone or custom upholstery on select models. If you need a specific color for your trip, just let us know when you request a quote and we’ll match you with a vehicle that fits your requirements. With one of the largest fleets in the region, it’s easy to get exactly the bus you want—inside and out—when you book with Charter Bus Company Lacey.

Every 54-passenger charter bus in our fleet comes loaded with the kinds of amenities that make a real difference on the road—including high-back reclining seats with either cloth or upgraded leatherette upholstery, three-point seatbelts, powerful HVAC systems with dual-zone climate control, and one of the smoothest rides available thanks to advanced suspension and soundproofing. You’ll get multiple flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the cabin (up to four on larger models), a DVD/Blu-ray player for entertainment, a PA microphone at the front for announcements, and optional WiFi packages so passengers can stream, browse, or get work done while traveling. Every bus includes USB-A/C power outlets at every row, 110V outlets for laptops, and Bluetooth connectivity for custom playlists or presentations. There’s a full-size restroom with a hands-free flushing toilet and stainless-steel sink, huge underfloor luggage bays for baggage or equipment, and overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for smaller items. Additional features include digital destination signs above the windshield, custom LED accent lighting, hardwood-look vinyl flooring, and pre-installed video screens for showing movies or presentations. If you need something special—like custom branding, upgraded upholstery, folding tray tables, or a beverage station—just ask! We can match any request and make sure your bus has exactly what you need. This is the best 54-passenger coach in the business because it’s built for big groups who want everything: space, technology, storage, and real comfort.

The cost to rent a 54-passenger charter bus in Lacey typically ranges from $180–$500+ per hour, $1,800–$3,800 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile—depending on the exact details of your trip. Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, tolls, and a standard gratuity, but does not cover parking passes at venues (which you purchase separately), or hotel accommodations for the driver if your trip requires an overnight stay. Final pricing is based on factors like trip distance, duration, time of year, pickup location, and any special requests or custom branding.

The 54-passenger charter bus is the largest and most versatile vehicle in our fleet—making it the best choice for big groups, long-distance travel, and any event where you need to move a lot of people at once. Compared to our smaller minibuses (which seat 18– 35 passengers), the full-size coach offers more seating capacity, better amenities (including restrooms, video screens, and WiFi), and significantly more storage space both inside and underneath the cabin. It’s ideal for school trips, corporate shuttles, sports teams, and multi-day tours—while the minibuses are better suited for airport transfers, hotel shuttles, and short local routes. We also offer midsize “mini-coaches” that seat 36–46 passengers if you need something between the two—but the 54-passenger model remains the industry standard for large- group transportation because it hits the sweet spot between capacity, comfort, and cost. When you need to move everyone together on a single vehicle, this is the bus that gets it done.

We recommend booking your 54-passenger charter bus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or overlaps with major local events. Spring and summer are peak times for school trips, graduations, weddings, and sports tournaments, while fall sees increased demand from corporate clients and university groups. Large events like Seahawks and Mariners games, the Washington State Fair, and regional festivals can also impact availability across the region. If you’re traveling during one of these high-demand periods, it’s smart to reserve your bus even earlier—up to a year ahead isn’t uncommon for big events or multi-day trips. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have open vehicles, but you’ll have fewer options and may pay higher rates. Once you have your dates and headcount, lock in your reservation with a deposit; final payment is due before departure, and we’ll send your exact itinerary and driver contact information so everything runs smoothly on the day of your trip.
