55 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 55-passenger charter bus fleet includes several of the most trusted and advanced models in the industry: the MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45. These coaches are built for comfort, reliability, and performance on long-distance or regional routes—making them ideal for everything from corporate shuttles and athletic travel to school trips and multi-day tours. Each model offers a spacious interior with modern amenities, powerful HVAC systems, and generous luggage storage both inside and below the cabin. If you need something specific—like a particular brand, seating configuration, or custom wrap—just ask! We’ll make sure you get exactly the right bus for your next trip.

Our 55-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to match your event, organization, or personal preference—including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and even yellow. Need something special? We also offer custom vinyl wraps and graphics so you can add your company logo, school mascot, or wedding colors directly to the side of the bus. Just let us know what you’re looking for when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure your bus looks perfect inside and out. With Charter Bus Company Madera, it’s easy to get a professional, modern vehicle that fits the style of any trip.

Every 55-passenger charter bus comes loaded with amenities to keep your group comfortable, connected, and entertained on the road. Standard features include plush reclining seats with headrests and armrests, powerful front and rear air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, and either a rear restroom or one mid-cabin. Stay connected with high-speed Wi-Fi and 110V/USB power outlets at every row, while multiple flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and auxiliary HDMI inputs make it easy to show movies or presentations. There’s also a full PA system with wired/wireless microphones, Bluetooth audio, and robust sound. Exterior luggage bays handle bulky gear, while interior LED lighting, tinted windows, and optional custom branding (wraps, decals, headrest covers) complete the package.

A 55-passenger charter bus rental 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 your exact itinerary, travel dates, and pickup location. Longer trips, multi-day charters, and peak-season bookings will fall toward the higher end of that range. Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, mileage, and gratuity; additional expenses like tolls, parking fees, or hotel accommodations for the driver (on overnight trips) are billed separately.

The 55-passenger charter bus is one of the largest and most versatile vehicles in our fleet, making it ideal for moving big groups over long distances. Compared to smaller minibuses (which typically seat 15–35), this full-size coach offers significantly more seating, legroom, and storage space—both in overhead compartments and undercarriage luggage bays. It’s perfect for transporting sports teams, school groups, corporate outings, or multiple families traveling together. You’ll also get upgraded amenities like onboard restrooms, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, power outlets at every seat, and reclining seats with headrests. While we do offer even larger buses (up to 60+ passengers) and smaller party buses for special events, the 55-passenger model hits the sweet spot between capacity, comfort, and affordability—making it a popular choice for everything from weddings and airport transfers to multi-day tours and convention shuttles. If you’re not sure which size is best for your group, our team can help you compare options and find the perfect fit.

We recommend booking your 55-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance—especially if you’re traveling during peak seasons like spring break, summer vacation, or the winter holidays. Large buses are in high demand for events like school trips, sports tournaments, and corporate conferences, so securing your reservation early will give you the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive pricing. If you’re planning a trip around a major local event—such as the Madera District Fair, a Fresno State football game, or a regional wine festival—try to book even earlier to ensure availability. Last-minute rentals are possible, but your options may be limited and prices can be higher. Have questions about timing? Our team is available 24/7 to help you plan ahead and lock in the perfect bus for your trip.
