56 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 56-passenger charter bus fleet includes top models from MCI (J4500, D4500), Prevost (H3-45), Van Hool (CX45), and Temsa (TS45). These are the biggest, most advanced motorcoaches on the road—built for long-distance comfort and reliability. Each manufacturer offers slightly different floor plans and features, but all include reclining seats, full HVAC, PA system, multiple video monitors, and large luggage bays. If you need a specific model for branding or technical reasons, let your reservation specialist know—we’ll match you with the right coach for your trip.

We offer 56-passenger charter buses in a wide range of exterior colors to suit any occasion or branding requirement. Standard options include classic black, white, silver, and grey finishes that provide a professional appearance suitable for corporate events, weddings, and formal gatherings. For clients seeking something more distinctive, we also have buses available in blue, red, navy, and even yellow. If you need to display company logos, school colors, or custom graphics, we can arrange for a full custom wrap on the vehicle. This flexibility makes it easy to match the bus to the specific needs of your event—whether you’re coordinating multiple vehicles for a large conference or simply want a cohesive look for your group’s transportation.

Standard amenities on our 56-passenger buses include everything you need for a comfortable and convenient trip: cushioned reclining seats with armrests and footrests, individual reading lights, overhead parcel racks, and a full climate control system. Entertainment features include multiple flat-screen monitors, a DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI input for laptops, and a sound system with speakers throughout the cabin. Stay connected with onboard Wi-Fi and power outlets at each row for charging devices. The mid-cabin restroom includes a toilet and sink. There are also tray tables, window shades, and PA system for announcements. The luggage capacity is large enough for full-size suitcases, and additional amenities like seat-back tables and galley areas are available on select models.

A 56-passenger charter bus rental in Morgan Hill typically costs between $1,800 and $3,800 per day, $180–$500+ per hour, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. Exact pricing depends on several factors including the length and duration of your trip, time of year, exact pickup location, number of days/hours required, and current fleet availability. Weekend and peak-season rates (especially spring and fall) may be higher due to increased demand. Your quote will include the vehicle, driver, standard gratuity, and mileage. Not included are parking fees at venues, bridge/tunnel tolls, or hotel rooms for the driver on overnight trips—these will be billed separately if applicable.

Because pricing can vary based on real-time availability and exact itinerary details, the best way to get an accurate estimate is to call our team with your full trip schedule. We’ll quickly calculate a personalized quote that fits your budget and requirements. If you’re comparing options, let us know—we’re happy to walk through different scenarios (hourly vs. daily vs. mileage billing) to find the most cost-effective solution for your group. Charter Bus Company Morgan Hill always provides transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no extra fees.

A 56-passenger charter bus is the largest and most fully featured vehicle available, making it ideal for transporting very large groups over long distances. Compared to smaller options like minicoaches or school buses, this model offers significantly more seating, storage, and onboard amenities. You’ll get full reclining seats, multiple video monitors, a full PA system, and the largest luggage bays in the industry—capable of handling everything from band equipment to athletic gear. While midsize buses (40– 50 passengers) are suitable for shorter trips or moderate group sizes, the 56-passenger coach is the best choice when you need maximum capacity and comfort. It’s the closest thing to a moving conference room or hotel lobby, with space for everyone and everything.

You should book a 56-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons or overlaps with major local events. In Morgan Hill and the greater Bay Area, spring and summer are extremely busy due to overlapping wedding schedules at local wineries, multiple school district calendars converging on graduation and field trip dates, and corporate event season ramping up across Silicon Valley. Fall also sees high demand from college football games, tech conferences, and regional festivals. If your departure date coincides with events like Gilroy Garlic Festival, San Jose Jazz Summer Fest, or holiday weekends when VTA and Caltrain schedules are limited, buses will sell out quickly and prices will rise.

For multi-day trips, large-scale events requiring several vehicles, or any booking between April–June or September–November, securing your reservation six months ahead is strongly recommended. Last-minute bookings (less than four weeks out) may face limited selection and premium rates. The earlier you confirm details such as headcount, itinerary, and special amenity requests, the more options you’ll have—and the easier it will be to lock in a bus that perfectly matches your needs.
