55 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 55-passenger charter bus fleet includes vehicles from the most trusted and respected manufacturers in the industry, ensuring you get a coach that’s built for comfort, reliability, and performance. Available models include the MCI J4500 and MCI D4500—both known for their smooth ride and spacious interiors—the Prevost H3-45, which offers one of the tallest and roomiest cabins on the market, the Van Hool CX45, favored for its modern styling and advanced comfort features, and the TEMSA TS45, a popular choice for groups seeking European-inspired design at a competitive price point. Each model comes with a full suite of amenities and can be customized to fit the needs of your specific trip. If you have a brand or model preference, just let us know when you call—we’ll do our best to match you with the exact vehicle you want.

Our 55-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to suit the style and branding needs of any group. Standard color options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. If you need something more customized, we also offer full and partial vehicle wraps that can feature your company logo, school colors, event branding, or any other graphics you provide. This is a popular option for sports teams, corporate groups, and special events looking to make a strong visual impact. Just ask your reservation specialist about custom color and wrapping options when you request a quote.

Every 55-passenger charter bus comes standard with a long list of amenities designed to keep passengers comfortable, connected, and entertained for the duration of the trip. Interior features include high-back reclining seats with optional leatherette upholstery, folding armrests, and headrest covers; powerful HVAC system with individual airflow controls; and either a half-bathroom or full restroom with locking door. Technology amenities include onboard Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets at every row, multiple flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the cabin, PA system with wireless microphone, DVD/Blu-ray player, and HDMI inputs for connecting laptops or gaming consoles. Additional features include overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, LED accent lighting along the ceiling and floor, and easy-access entry stairs with handrails on both sides. Optional upgrades include wood-look flooring, custom upholstery colors, and exterior branding packages.

The cost to rent a 55-passenger charter bus in Lakeville typically ranges from $180 to $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. Your quote includes the bus, a driver, and standard amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, and flat-screen monitors. Not included are expenses such as parking fees at venues (which you’ll need to arrange separately), tolls incurred during the trip, and a hotel room for the driver if your itinerary requires an overnight stay. Gratuity for the driver is included in the base price, but additional tips are always appreciated for exceptional service. Please note that these rates are estimates and may vary based on factors like vehicle availability, exact pick-up location, and time of year; for real-time pricing, call our office or use the online quote tool to get a fast, personalized estimate.

a 55-passenger charter bus is the largest and most versatile option in our fleet, making it ideal for big groups who need maximum seating capacity, plenty of storage, and all the best amenities. Compared to smaller minibuses (which seat 18–35), a 55-passenger coach offers more legroom, better recline, bigger video screens, and a full-size restroom—not just a half-bath. You get multiple flat-screen monitors, Wi-Fi, 110V/USB outlets at every seat, and a powerful HVAC system that keeps the whole cabin comfortable no matter what the weather’s doing outside. There’s tons of storage both inside (overhead racks) and underneath (huge luggage bays) for all your gear. If you need something even bigger, we can do multi-bus packages—but the 55-seater hits the sweet spot for most schools, companies, sports teams, and event planners who want everyone on one vehicle.

We recommend booking your 55-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure the best availability, especially if your trip falls during a busy travel season or coincides with major local events. Spring and summer are peak times for weddings, graduations, and corporate outings, while fall sees increased demand from school groups and sports teams. Large events like the Minnesota State Fair, Twin Cities Marathon, and local festivals can also impact availability and pricing. By reserving early, you’ll have a wider selection of vehicles to choose from and can lock in your preferred dates and rates. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher prices.
