56 Passenger Charter Bus

Our fleet includes all the top brands in the industry, so you get exactly the kind of bus you want: MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45 and TEMSA TS45. These are the workhorses of the charter business—built tough, loaded with features, and backed by factory-trained mechanics who keep them running right. You get the same model names you’d see on a big-city transit system or a pro sports team’s travel roster, because that’s what it takes to do the job right. When you call, you get a real person who knows the difference between a J4500 and an H3-45, and will make sure you get the exact bus that fits your trip—not just whatever happens to be sitting in the lot. This is why people trust us to move their kids, their players, their employees, and their fans: we run the best equipment, and we run it like it matters.

We offer 56-passenger charter buses in a wide range of standard colors—including black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow—or you can request a custom wrap for full branding. Need something that matches your school colors, corporate identity, or event theme? Just ask. We’ve wrapped buses for sports teams, weddings, construction projects, and convention shuttles all over the region. If you need something specific, give us a call and we’ll find it.

Every 56-passenger charter bus comes standard with high-back, reclining seats (cloth or leatherette upholstery), individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, and a full-size restroom at the rear of the cabin. Entertainment options include multiple flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, Bluetooth-enabled sound system, and a PA microphone at the front. There’s Wi-Fi onboard, 110V/USB charging ports at every row, and fold-down tray tables for laptops or meals. Storage includes overhead parcel racks inside and large underfloor luggage bays outside—perfect for baggage, coolers, or equipment cases. Additional features include LED accent lighting, sturdy handrails at the entryway, and optional branding or custom graphics on the exterior.

Renting a 56-passenger charter bus typically costs between $180 and $500+ per hour, $1,800 to $3,800 per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile—depending on the length of your trip, how many days you need the bus, and whether you’re traveling during a busy season. The final price includes the bus, driver, and fuel, but you’ll also need to budget for tolls, parking fees, and a hotel room for the driver if your trip requires an overnight stay. Larger vehicles like this are more expensive than minibuses or smaller coaches, but they’re the most cost-effective option for moving big groups. You’ll get an exact quote before you book, and all major credit cards are accepted, and payment is due before your departure date.

Compared to every other bus in the fleet, the 56-passenger charter bus is the biggest, most comfortable, and most fully equipped vehicle you can get—it’s built for moving large groups long distances with all the luggage space, seating capacity, and onboard amenities that smaller minibuses and sprinter vans just don’t have. You get forward-facing, reclining seats with headrests and armrests; multiple flat-screen monitors for DVDs or video presentations; a powerful sound system with Bluetooth and PA mic; Wi-Fi; USB and 110V outlets at every row; and a full-size restroom at the back of the cabin. There are huge underfloor luggage bays on both sides of the bus, plus overhead parcel racks inside for carry-ons. The HVAC system keeps the temperature comfortable year-round, and there’s room to store coolers, equipment cases, or even folding tables. This is the kind of vehicle you want if you’re moving a sports team, a band, a church group, or a corporate crew—anything that requires serious people-moving capability. Smaller buses are fine for short trips around town, but when you need to get everyone there together, this is the only way to go.

You should book your 56-passenger charter bus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major events in Lacey. Spring and summer dates fill up quickly due to school trips, graduations, weddings, and sports tournaments, while fall sees increased demand from college football games and corporate events. Large buses like these are in high demand year-round, so the earlier you reserve, the better your chances of securing the exact vehicle and schedule you want. Last-minute bookings are possible but may limit your options and result in higher prices. Once you have your trip details finalized, lock in your reservation as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
