50 Passenger Charter Bus

Charter Bus Company Lakeville operates one of the most diverse and modern fleets of 50-passenger charter buses in the region, featuring industry-leading models from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and TEMSA. Our lineup includes the MCI J4500—a favorite among operators for its smooth ride, advanced comfort features, and customizable interior options—as well as the MCI D4500, which offers exceptional reliability and value for large groups. We also run the Prevost H3-45, widely regarded as the gold standard in luxury motorcoaches thanks to its spacious cabin, high ceiling, and sleek European styling. The Van Hool CX45 is another popular choice, known for its durable construction, comfortable seating, and generous baggage capacity. Rounding out our selection is the TEMSA TS45, a versatile and fuel-efficient coach that’s perfect for everything from local shuttles to cross-country trips. No matter which model you choose, you’ll get a late-model vehicle backed by 24/7 support and the best customer service in the business.

Our 50-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of standard exterior colors including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We also offer custom vinyl wraps and partial graphics packages for clients who want to add branding, logos, or special designs to their bus—perfect for sports teams, corporate groups, or event organizers looking to make a strong visual statement. If you have specific color requirements or need to match existing branding guidelines, just let us know when you request a quote and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. Custom paint and wrap options may require additional lead time and incur extra charges depending on the complexity of the design.

Every 50-passenger charter bus comes standard with high-back reclining seats upholstered in either cloth or vinyl, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC systems for heating and cooling, and a public address (PA) microphone at the front of the cabin. Entertainment features include multiple flat-screen video monitors mounted throughout the interior, DVD players, HDMI inputs for connecting laptops or tablets, and Bluetooth/AUX audio connections for playing music or other audio content through the bus sound system. Each coach is equipped with a full-size onboard restroom located mid-cabin or toward the rear of the vehicle, as well as overhead parcel racks for storing personal items and underfloor luggage bays accessible from outside the bus. Additional amenities include USB-A and USB-C power outlets at every row of seats, 110V electrical outlets, and optional Wi-Fi connectivity available on request.

A 50-passenger charter bus rental typically costs between $180 and $500+ per hour, $1,800 to $3,800 per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile, depending on the specifics of your trip. Factors that can affect the final price include the length and duration of the trip, whether it’s local or out-of-town, the time of year, and how far in advance you book. Additional expenses such as parking passes, tolls, and driver hotel accommodations for overnight trips are not included in the base rate and will be billed separately.

A 50-passenger charter bus offers the best combination of seating capacity, comfort, and amenities for large groups traveling medium to long distances. Compared to smaller minibuses or shuttle buses, it provides significantly more room, better storage options, and advanced features like onboard restrooms and entertainment systems. While larger 56- or 60-passenger coaches are available for very big groups, the 50-passenger model hits a sweet spot for affordability and versatility, making it a popular choice for everything from school and corporate travel to weddings and sporting events. It’s easier to maneuver and park than the largest coaches but still offers all the essential amenities that make charter bus travel convenient and enjoyable.

We recommend booking your 50-passenger charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates, especially if your trip coincides with a busy season or major event. In the Twin Cities region, demand spikes during spring and fall due to school field trips, athletic events, graduations, and local festivals like the Minnesota State Fair and Twin Cities Pride. Summer is also a peak period for weddings, corporate outings, and vacation travel, while winter brings holiday parties and ski trips. If you’re planning a trip during one of these high-demand times—or if you need multiple buses, special amenities, or custom branding—it’s wise to reserve your bus even earlier. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher prices.
