56 Passenger Charter Bus

Our fleet includes all the top brands in the industry such as MCI J4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and Temsa TS45. These are the most popular and reliable models available, chosen by operators nationwide for their durability, ride quality, and ease of maintenance. Each one is built on a heavy-duty chassis with either a Detroit Diesel, Cummins, or Volvo engine paired to an Allison automatic transmission. If you have a specific preference for make or model, let us know when booking—we’ll do our best to accommodate requests based on current availability. All units are late-model years (2015 or newer) with modern interiors and up-to-date features.

Most of our 56-passenger charter buses come in classic black or white exteriors, which are ideal for formal events and easy to match with any theme. We also have several units available in silver, gray, navy blue, or other dark colors upon request. Custom vinyl wraps or graphics can be applied for corporate branding, sports teams, or special occasions if arranged in advance. Interior color schemes typically feature neutral tones such as charcoal, beige, or blue patterned fabric on seats and panels.

Standard amenities include high-back reclining seats with armrests and footrests, individual reading lights and air vents, multiple flat-screen monitors connected to a central DVD/Blu-ray player, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each row, WiFi hotspot, public address system with cordless microphone, full-length overhead luggage racks, and a restroom at the rear of the coach. Climate control is provided by dual-zone HVAC systems capable of keeping the entire cabin comfortable in any weather. Additional features may include wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, window shades, and extra-wide aisles for easier movement.

The cost of renting a 56-passenger charter bus varies depending on several factors including the length of the trip, distance traveled, time of year, and any special requests such as additional amenities or custom branding. Peak seasons such as spring break, summer vacation, and holiday periods may see higher rates due to increased demand. Long-distance trips that require overnight stays will incur extra charges for driver accommodations and per diem. Local charters within the same metropolitan area are generally more affordable than out-of-state runs. The best way to get an accurate quote is to contact our office with your exact itinerary so we can provide a detailed estimate.

Compared to smaller options like minibuses or 24- to 35-passenger mid-size coaches, the 56-passenger charter bus offers significantly more seating capacity, storage space, and onboard amenities, making it the preferred choice for large-scale group transportation such as school trips, corporate events, and long-distance travel. While smaller buses are ideal for short shuttles, navigating tight urban areas, or transporting modest-sized groups on a budget, they lack features like restrooms, extensive luggage bays, and advanced entertainment systems found on full-size coaches. Conversely, larger double-decker or specialty buses may accommodate even more passengers but come with higher rental costs and less flexibility in terms of route accessibility. The 56-passenger model strikes an optimal balance between size, comfort, and versatility, suitable for everything from local shuttles to multi-day tours across state lines.

We recommend booking your 56-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons such as spring break, summer vacation, or major holiday weekends when demand is highest. In Manassas and surrounding areas, large events like school graduations, corporate conferences, and regional sports tournaments can quickly deplete available inventory, making it essential to secure your reservation early to guarantee availability and lock in the best rates. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited selection and higher prices due to increased demand. If your schedule is flexible, booking well ahead of time not only ensures you get the exact vehicle you want but also provides ample time to coordinate custom amenities or special requests. For trips requiring multiple buses or complex itineraries, early reservations are strongly advised to facilitate smooth planning and execution.
