56 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 56-passenger charter bus fleet includes the industry’s most trusted and advanced models: MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45—all built for comfort, reliability, and performance on long-distance or regional routes. These are the same full-size, heavy-duty coaches used by professional sports teams, university athletic departments, Fortune 500 corporate shuttle programs, and large-scale event operators across the country—so you know you’re getting a vehicle that can handle any job. Each model offers advanced suspension for a smooth ride, powerful HVAC systems, and customizable interior layouts with seating for up to 56 passengers plus generous luggage storage. When you book with us, you get access to one of the newest, most versatile fleets in the region—and we’ll make sure you get the exact model that fits your trip and budget.

Our 56-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of exterior colors including black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow—plus custom wraps or branding upon request. Need something that matches your school colors, corporate branding, or event theme? We can provide solid-color coaches, two-tone designs, or even full vinyl wraps with your logo and graphics. Just let us know what you need when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get a bus that looks great and represents your group professionally. Interior color schemes include standard fabric or leatherette in neutral tones, with optional upgrades to custom upholstery and accent lighting.

Every 56-passenger charter bus comes standard with advanced climate control (dual-zone HVAC), high-back reclining seats with upgraded vinyl/leatherette upholstery, armrests, headrests, footrests, and either three-point or lap belts. Entertainment options include multiple flat-screen HD monitors (up to five per coach), front/rear PA system, Bluetooth/AUX inputs, DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI/VGA ports for laptops/tablets, and optional 4G/5G Wi-Fi with streaming support. Power is available via 110V outlets at every row, USB-A/C ports at each seat, and optional USB-C/PD fast charging. Storage includes full-length overhead parcel racks, up to 500 cubic feet of underfloor luggage bays, and rear cargo area on select models. Additional amenities include a full-size onboard restroom with hands-free flushing, touchless hand sanitizer dispensers, LED accent lighting, backlit ceiling panels, wood-look vinyl flooring, and optional branding wraps or custom graphics.

The 56-passenger charter bus is the largest and most versatile vehicle in our fleet, offering maximum seating capacity, advanced amenities, and exceptional storage compared to any other bus type we offer. Smaller minibuses (seating 18–35) are more affordable and maneuverable but lack restrooms, luggage bays, and full-size seating; party buses (15–40) have open floor plans and sound systems but are not suitable for long-distance or multi-day trips; sprinter vans (8–15) are ideal for small groups and short shuttles but offer limited comfort and no onboard amenities. The 56-passenger coach is the best choice for any large group traveling more than an hour, needing baggage space, or requiring a professional, comfortable, and fully equipped vehicle.

We recommend booking your 56-passenger charter bus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates—especially if your trip falls during peak travel periods such as spring break, summer vacation, or major local events like the Madera District Fair or Fresno County Blossom Trail. Large vehicles like this are in high demand for school trips, athletic events, weddings, and corporate functions, and inventory can sell out quickly. If you’re traveling during a holiday weekend, planning a multi-day trip, or need multiple buses, it’s best to reserve your vehicle as early as possible. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher prices.
