56 Passenger Charter Bus

Our fleet includes 56-passenger charter buses from the most respected manufacturers in the industry: MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and TEMSA. Specific models available include the MCI J4500 and D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45. Each of these coaches is built to deliver reliable performance, comfortable ride quality, and long-term durability for any kind of large- group transportation. If you have a preference for a particular make or model—whether it’s because of interior layout, luggage capacity, or past experience riding them—let your reservation specialist know. We’ll do our best to accommodate requests and will always provide a vehicle that meets the highest standards for comfort and reliability.

Our 56-passenger charter buses come in a wide range of exterior colors, including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and even yellow. If you need something specific for your event—such as an all-black coach for a formal occasion, a classic white bus for a wedding, or a color that matches your organization’s branding—we can accommodate that. Many of our buses also have the option for a custom wrap if you want to display a company logo, team name, or special message along the entire side of the vehicle. This is ideal for corporate events, sports teams, or any situation where you want your bus to stand out and make a strong visual impression. Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll match you with a bus in the right color.

Every 56-passenger charter bus comes standard with a full suite of premium amenities designed for long-distance comfort and productivity. Seating features include high-back reclining seats with cloth or leatherette upholstery, armrests, footrests, and integrated headrests. Entertainment systems offer multiple flat-screen monitors (typically 4–6), a DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI input, PA microphone, and either auxiliary or Bluetooth audio through ceiling-mounted speakers. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi router, 110V power outlets (one per pair of seats), and USB charging ports. Climate control is handled by dual roof-mounted A/C units and central heating. The onboard restroom is located mid-cabin or at the rear, with a flushing toilet and sink. Overhead parcel racks run the length of both sides, while exterior luggage bays provide 400–500 cubic feet of storage. Additional features include LED interior lighting, tinted windows with pull-down shades, and front/rear stairwells for fast loading.

Pricing for a 56-passenger charter bus in Moorhead typically ranges from $1,800 to $3,800 per day, $180 to $500+ per hour, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile. Final rates depend on several key factors: the length and distance of your trip (multi-day and out-of-state itineraries cost more than local single-day service), the time of year (peak seasons like spring and fall are more expensive due to high demand from sports, weddings, and school events), and exact pickup location (if the bus must deadhead from another city, this adds to the total). Additional costs not included in the base quote are venue parking fees, highway tolls, and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Moorhead customers should also factor in regional variables such as weather-related routing or limited local fleet availability, which can increase pricing compared to larger metro areas. For the most accurate estimate, contact us with your full itinerary so we can generate a custom quote based on real-time fleet availability and current demand.

The 56-passenger charter bus is the largest and most versatile vehicle in our fleet, making it the best choice for moving very large groups or handling long-distance trips where luggage space and onboard amenities are critical. Compared to a 15-, 20-, or 25-passenger minibus, the 56-passenger coach offers significantly more seating, full underfloor luggage bays (something no minibus has), and premium features like a restroom, multiple video screens, and full climate control. Mid-size options like the 47-passenger charter bus strike a balance between capacity and maneuverability but still don’t match the total storage or amenity package of the largest coach. Choose a 56-passenger bus when you need to move an entire sports team with equipment, a double-shift of employees, or a large wedding party in a single vehicle. It’s the most cost-effective option on a per-seat basis for big events, and the first choice for demanding itineraries like overnight field trips, out-of-state tournaments, or convention shuttles to Minneapolis or beyond.

You should book your 56-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak season or coincides with a major local event. Large buses are always in high demand because they’re the first choice for big events, long-distance travel, and anyone who needs maximum seating and luggage space. In Moorhead, spring and summer bring overlapping schedules from school field trips, wedding parties, and regional sports tournaments—all competing for the same full-size coaches. Fall schedules fill quickly due to college football charters, homecoming events, and corporate retreats heading to the Twin Cities. If your trip overlaps with university athletics, a major concert at Bluestem Amphitheater, or peak wedding season, last-minute availability will be extremely limited and prices will reflect that scarcity. Securing your reservation several months ahead not only locks in the best selection of vehicles and amenities but also gives you time to adjust headcounts or special requests without scrambling. For holiday weekends, multi-day out-of-state trips, or any itinerary requiring multiple large buses, six months’ lead time is strongly recommended to guarantee placement and avoid rush premiums.
