55 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 55-passenger charter bus fleet includes top models from industry-leading manufacturers such as MCI (J4500, D4500), Prevost (H3-45), Van Hool (CX45), and TEMSA (TS45). These are the same coaches used by professional sports teams, touring musicians, and major corporations because they offer unmatched reliability, comfort, and storage capacity. Each model is built on a heavy-duty chassis with either a Detroit Diesel, Cummins, or Volvo powertrain, ensuring smooth performance on both short and long-distance routes. The interiors are designed for maximum passenger comfort with features like contoured seating, advanced climate control, and extensive entertainment options. Whether you’re familiar with these brands or not, you can trust that you’re getting one of the best large-capacity buses available in the industry—perfect for any demanding group travel situation.

We offer 55-passenger charter buses in a wide range of exterior colors to match the tone and formality of any event. Standard options include classic black, white, silver, and grey, which are popular for weddings, corporate functions, and formal occasions due to their clean and professional appearance. We also have units available in blue, red, navy, and even yellow for school-related trips or groups that want something more vibrant. If you need specific branding or personalization, custom wraps are available so you can display company logos, team colors, or event graphics along the entire length of the coach. Whatever your preference, we can provide a bus with the right look—whether that means blending in with a fleet, standing out for easy identification, or showcasing custom artwork for a special trip. Just let us know what color or style you need when booking, and we’ll match you with the perfect vehicle.

Standard amenities on a 55-passenger charter bus include everything your group needs for a comfortable and convenient trip, no matter the destination. You’ll find plush reclining seats with armrests and footrests, individual reading lights, and powerful climate control to keep everyone comfortable year-round. The entertainment system features multiple flat-screen monitors, a DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI inputs for laptops or gaming consoles, and a PA system for announcements. Stay connected with onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets, and USB ports at each row. There’s a full-size restroom at the rear of the coach, large overhead parcel racks for carry-ons, and massive underfloor luggage bays for all checked baggage. Additional features include tinted windows for privacy, tray tables for snacks or devices, and optional extras like seat-back video screens or upgraded sound systems if requested. This is a true motorcoach built for long-distance comfort and versatility.

Renting a 55-passenger charter bus in Moorhead typically costs between $1,800 and $3,800 per day, $180 to $500+ per hour, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile. Final pricing depends on several key factors: the total distance of your trip, the number of days the bus is needed, exact pickup and drop-off locations, time of year, and current fleet availability. Peak seasons like summer, holidays, or major local events (such as college graduations or sports championships) can increase rates due to higher demand. Additional expenses not included in the base quote may include parking fees at venues, tolls along the route, and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—these will either be added to your invoice or arranged by you directly. Gratuity for the driver is included in your quote, but tipping extra for exceptional service is always appreciated. Because every itinerary is different, the best way to get an accurate price is to call us with your exact schedule so we can provide a customized quote. Prices are subject to change based on real-time availability and specific trip details.

The 55-passenger charter bus stands out from other bus types primarily due to its large capacity, making it ideal for transporting very large groups with a single vehicle. Compared to a 15-passenger sprinter van or 18-passenger minibus, which are best suited for small groups and short local trips, the 55-passenger coach offers significantly more seating, storage, and onboard amenities. Mid-size options like the 28-passenger minibus or 35-passenger charter bus provide a balance between capacity and maneuverability but cannot match the luggage space or full-size restroom of the larger coach. Even the 47-passenger charter bus, while substantial, has less overall room for baggage and fewer entertainment features. The 55-passenger model is built for long-distance comfort with features such as multiple video monitors, full climate control, and extensive underfloor storage—advantages that smaller buses simply don’t offer. If you need to move the maximum number of people efficiently and comfortably, the 55-passenger charter bus is the best choice; it minimizes the number of vehicles required and ensures everyone enjoys the highest level of onboard convenience. It’s the top pick for major events, interstate travel, and any situation where group size and comfort are the highest priorities.

You should book a 55-passenger charter bus in Moorhead at least three to six months in advance to guarantee the best availability and pricing—especially if your trip falls during peak season or coincides with major local events. Large motorcoaches like this are in high demand for spring and summer wedding blocks, college athletics, and regional festivals such as Fargo Marathon weekend or Homecoming at Minnesota State University Moorhead. Waiting until the last minute can severely limit your options, as the biggest buses are often the first to sell out and may require repositioning from another city if local inventory is exhausted—driving up costs. If your event is happening between May and October, over a holiday weekend, or involves an overnight itinerary requiring hotel accommodation for the driver, locking in your reservation six months ahead is strongly recommended. For trips scheduled on shorter notice, it’s still possible to secure a vehicle, but flexibility on exact coach model, color, or amenities may be necessary. Once you have confirmed dates and a rough headcount, placing a deposit will secure the bus while you finalize the rest of your plans. Last-minute bookings (less than four weeks out) are subject to full payment upfront and whatever equipment is still available. In general, the earlier you book, the more choices you’ll have and the easier it will be to accommodate special requests such as custom wraps or specific seating configurations.
