50 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 50-passenger charter bus fleet includes industry-leading models from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and TEMSA—each built for long-distance comfort and reliability. Specific models include the MCI J4500 and D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45. These coaches are popular with operators nationwide because they offer a great balance of passenger capacity, luggage space, and modern amenities. Each model features reclining seats with armrests and footrests, individual reading lights, climate-controlled air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, large underfloor baggage bays, and a rear-mounted lavatory. Entertainment systems typically include multiple flat-screen monitors, a DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system, and optional WiFi router. Power outlets or USB ports are available at each seat row for charging devices. The ride quality is smooth thanks to advanced suspension systems, and the drivetrains are powerful enough to handle mountain grades or highway speeds with ease. If you have a preference for a specific manufacturer or need certain features, let your reservation specialist know—we’ll match you with the perfect coach.

We offer 50-passenger charter buses in a wide range of exterior colors to suit any occasion or branding requirement, including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and even yellow. If you need something truly custom, full-wrap graphics are available to display company logos, school colors, or event-specific artwork—perfect for corporate branding, sports teams, or special events. The most popular choices for weddings and business events are classic black and white finishes, which photograph well and match any dress code. Silver and grey options provide a modern, understated look that blends easily into urban environments, while blue and red coaches stand out in traffic and make it easy for large groups to identify their vehicle in a crowded parking lot.

For clients requiring high visibility—such as youth camps or municipal charters—a yellow or brightly wrapped bus ensures maximum recognition and comfort. Whatever your preference, we can accommodate specific requests for exterior color during the booking process to ensure your vehicle aligns with the tone and purpose of your trip.

Standard amenities on our 50-passenger buses include plush reclining seats with armrests and footrests, individual LED reading lights, and powerful climate-controlled HVAC systems to keep the cabin comfortable in any weather. For entertainment, each bus is equipped with multiple flat-screen monitors (typically 22”-24”), a DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI inputs for streaming content from personal devices, and a PA system with a cordless microphone—perfect for making announcements or leading tours. Stay connected on the road with onboard WiFi and 110V/USB power outlets at every row, so passengers can charge phones, tablets, and laptops throughout the trip.

Storage options include overhead parcel racks for backpacks and jackets, as well as large underfloor baggage bays that can accommodate full-size suitcases, musical instruments, or athletic gear. Additional conveniences include fold-out tray tables, window shades for glare reduction, and cup holders integrated into the seat backs. Whether you’re heading across town or out of state, these buses come fully loaded with everything your group needs for a comfortable and enjoyable journey.

Renting a 50-passenger charter bus in Morgan Hill typically costs between $1,800 and $3,800 per day, $180 to $500+ per hour, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile. Several factors influence the final price of your 50-passenger charter bus rental, including the length and duration of the trip, time of year, exact pickup location, and current vehicle availability. Longer trips that span multiple days will cost more than single-day events due to increased mileage and the need to accommodate the driver overnight. Seasonal demand plays a significant role—rates tend to be higher during peak months such as spring (April–June) and fall (September–November) when schools, wedding parties, and sports teams are all booking buses at the same time. Starting your trip outside a major metropolitan area like San Jose or Palo Alto may incur additional fees if the bus has to deadhead (travel empty) a long distance to your pickup point.

Special requests such as custom wraps, extra amenities, or last-minute bookings can also add to the total cost. While gratuity for the driver is included, you’ll be responsible for incidental expenses such as parking fees, tolls, and lodging for the driver on overnight trips. To get the most accurate pricing, it’s best to have all your trip details ready when requesting a quote so we can provide a comprehensive estimate tailored to your specific needs.

The 50-passenger charter bus is one of the most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering a perfect balance between seating capacity and onboard amenities compared to other bus types. Unlike 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, which are ideal for short trips and small groups but have limited luggage space and fewer amenities, the 50-passenger coach features full underfloor storage bays, reclining seats, individual climate controls, and a full entertainment system with multiple monitors and a PA system. This makes it suitable for long-distance travel and large events where comfort and storage are priorities.

Compared to larger 55- to 60-passenger motorcoaches, the 50-passenger model is slightly more affordable and easier to maneuver in tight urban settings, while still providing essential features like WiFi, power outlets, and a restroom. It’s an excellent mid-size option that can handle anything from corporate shuttles and wedding parties to school trips and sports team transportation, giving you the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of itineraries without sacrificing comfort or functionality.

We recommend booking your 50-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 seasons or overlaps with major local events. Spring and early summer (March through June) are particularly busy times due to overlapping demand from school field trips, proms, graduations, and wedding shuttles—Morgan Hill’s popular venues like Guglielmo Winery and Clos LaChance often host multiple events in a single weekend, making large buses scarce. Fall weekends can also book up quickly because of sports schedules, corporate retreats, and holiday events.

If you’re planning travel around high-demand dates such as Gilroy Garlic Festival, Santa Clara County Fair, or even a Caltrain-connected trip to San Francisco for a parade or concert, securing your bus six months ahead will give you the most options. Last-minute bookings (less than 30 days out) may face limited availability and higher prices, as the remaining inventory tends to be either premium coaches or those positioned farther away, requiring additional repositioning fees. In general, the earlier you reserve, the more choices you’ll have regarding bus features, exterior color, and exact pickup times—while also locking in a better rate before seasonal price increases.
