54 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 54-passenger charter bus fleet includes top models from industry-leading manufacturers such as MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Temsa. Specific models include the MCI J4500 and D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45—all known for their reliability, comfort, and advanced features. These buses are built on heavy-duty chassis with powerful diesel engines, providing smooth performance on long-distance routes. Interior layouts are designed for maximum passenger comfort, with high-back reclining seats, wide center aisles, and extensive luggage storage both overhead and underfloor. Each model comes equipped with a full suite of amenities including climate control, entertainment systems, WiFi, power outlets, and restroom facilities. If you have a preference for a specific make or model, let us know—we’ll match you with the perfect vehicle for your trip.

Our 54-passenger charter buses come in a range of exterior colors to suit any occasion or branding requirement, including classic black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. For corporate events or formal occasions, black and white are the most popular choices due to their clean, professional appearance. Silver and grey offer a modern look that pairs well with any logo or decal. Blue, red, and navy provide bold options that stand out in traffic and make group identification easy. Yellow is ideal for school-related transportation or events where high visibility is important. If you need something unique, custom wraps are available to display company logos, team colors, or advertising graphics along the entire length of the bus. Whatever your color preference, we have a bus that will match your style and make a strong impression at every stop.

Every 54-passenger bus comes standard with Moorhead’s most-requested amenities for long-distance travel: cushioned reclining seats with armrests and footrests, individual LED reading lights, and powerful climate control capable of handling Minnesota winters and summers. Entertainment options include six flat-screen monitors, a DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI input for laptops, and a PA system with wireless microphone. Stay connected with onboard WiFi, power outlets and USB ports at every row. The rear lavatory is fully enclosed with a flushing toilet and sink. Underfloor baggage bays provide up to 500 cubic feet of storage, while overhead parcel racks hold backpacks and coats. Additional features include tinted double-pane windows, electronic destination sign, and optional extras like satellite TV or upgraded sound system.

Renting a 54-passenger charter bus in Moorhead typically costs between $1,800 and $3,800 per day, $180–$500+ per hour, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. Several factors influence the final price, including the total distance traveled, duration of the trip, number of days the bus is needed, and whether the trip falls on a weekday or weekend. Seasonal demand also plays a significant role—rates tend to be higher during peak times such as spring break, summer wedding season, and fall sports schedules. Additional expenses not included in the base rate may include parking fees at venues, tolls along the route, and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Gratuity is included in your quote, but you will be responsible for securing and paying for any necessary parking passes or permits at your destination. Because each trip is unique, the best way to get an exact quote is to contact us with your full itinerary. We’ll provide a detailed estimate that covers all expected costs so you can budget confidently.

The 54-passenger charter bus is the largest and most fully equipped vehicle in our fleet, making it the best choice for handling the biggest and most demanding trips. Compared to smaller options like 15-, 20-, or 30-passenger minibuses, this coach offers significantly more seating, storage, and onboard amenities. You get full underfloor luggage bays capable of holding large suitcases, coolers, or band equipment—something midsize buses can’t match. The cabin includes premium features such as reclining seats, multiple video monitors, a PA system, WiFi, power outlets, and a full restroom at the rear. While a 47-passenger bus shares many of these comforts, the 54 adds extra rows for maximum capacity without sacrificing aisle space or legroom. If you’re moving an entire sports team, double-shifting a job site, or running a long-distance charter to Minneapolis or beyond, this is the bus that does it all in one trip. Smaller models are great for short hops and tight budgets, but when you need to move the whole crowd with all their gear, the 54-passenger coach is in a class by itself.

You should book a 54-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 coincides with major local events. In Moorhead and the greater Fargo-Moorhead area, demand for large charter buses spikes around college graduations at Minnesota State University Moorhead and Concordia College, summer wedding season, regional sports tournaments, and popular festival weekends like Greater Moorhead Days or Fargo Marathon. Spring and fall are particularly busy due to overlapping school functions, athletic schedules, and corporate events, making it harder to secure a bus on short notice. If your event is scheduled between May and October, or involves an overnight stay requiring the bus out of service for multiple days, locking in your reservation six months ahead is strongly recommended. Last-minute bookings may face limited selection or higher rates as inventory tightens. For holiday travel, multi-day conferences, or any trip requiring multiple vehicles, the earlier you contact us, the better—we can always adjust details closer to the departure date, but securing the bus early guarantees it will be there when you need it.
