56 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 56-passenger charter bus fleet includes top models from leading motorcoach manufacturers such as MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Temsa. Specific models available include the MCI J4500 and D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45—all of which are renowned for their reliability, comfort, and advanced features. These coaches are built to handle long-distance travel and heavy use while providing a smooth ride and upscale interior. Each model offers slightly different floor plans and amenity configurations, but all deliver the highest standard of group transportation available. If you have a preference for a particular manufacturer or model, let us know—we’ll do our best to accommodate your request and match you with the exact vehicle that fits your needs.

Our 56-passenger charter buses come in a range of exterior colors to suit any occasion or preference, including classic white, black, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and even yellow. For clients with specific branding or aesthetic requirements, we also offer custom wraps that can display company logos, school colors, or event graphics along the entire length of the coach. This makes it easy to match the bus to the formality of your event—whether you need a traditional look for a corporate function, something bold for a sports team, or fully customized visuals for a promotional tour. The variety of color options ensures that your vehicle will not only serve its practical purpose but also present the right image for your group. If you have a particular color scheme in mind, please mention it when booking so we can provide the best available match from our fleet.

Standard amenities on a 56-passenger charter bus include reclining cloth or leatherette seats with armrests and footrests, individual reading lights, overhead parcel racks, large underfloor luggage bays, a full climate-control system, and a rear-mounted lavatory with flushing toilet and sink. Entertainment features typically consist of multiple flat-screen monitors, a DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI inputs, and a PA microphone. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi routers, 110V power outlets, and USB ports. Additional comforts may include tray tables, cup holders, window shades, and tile or carpeted aisles. The driver area is separated by a partition for privacy. These amenities make long trips comfortable and keep passengers productive or entertained throughout the journey.

Renting a 56-passenger charter bus in Minot 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 variables including the total distance traveled, duration of the trip, number of days the bus is needed, time of year, and exact pickup location. Peak seasons such as summer months, holiday weekends, or major local events like the North Dakota State Fair can drive prices higher due to increased demand. Additional expenses not included in the base quote may consist of parking fees at venues, tolls accrued during the trip, and hotel accommodations for the driver if an overnight stay is required. Gratuity for the driver is typically included in the quote, but incidental costs are the responsibility of the customer. Because each trip is unique, the best way to get an accurate estimate is to contact us for a personalized quote based on your specific itinerary. We provide transparent, all-inclusive pricing so you know exactly what to expect.

The 56-passenger charter bus is the largest vehicle option available and is ideal for transporting very large groups over long distances. Compared to smaller bus types such as minibuses (which typically seat 18– 35 passengers) or mid-size coaches (38–52 passengers), the 56-passenger model offers significantly more seating capacity, greater luggage storage both overhead and in underfloor bays, and the most comprehensive suite of onboard amenities—including full entertainment systems, Wi-Fi, multiple power outlets, and a full restroom. While minibuses are better suited for short local shuttles or small group outings due to their lower cost and greater maneuverability, the 56-passenger coach excels at moving entire sports teams, school classes, corporate departments, or wedding parties in a single vehicle, reducing the need for multiple trips or convoying several smaller buses. It also provides the best ride quality and comfort for extended highway travel. However, because of its size, it may be less practical for routes with tight streets or limited parking. In summary, choose the 56-passenger bus when you need maximum capacity and amenities; opt for smaller buses when budget, flexibility, or short-distance travel are higher priorities.

You should book a 56-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure the best availability and selection, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major local events. Larger buses like the 56-passenger model are in high demand for big events such as weddings, school trips, and sports tournaments, and they tend to get reserved earlier than smaller vehicles. In Minot, peak times include the North Dakota State Fair in July, spring and fall college athletics, and holiday periods—all of which can significantly limit inventory if you wait too long. Last-minute bookings may still be possible but could result in higher prices or fewer choices regarding amenities and bus colors. To lock in your preferred dates, bus type, and the most competitive rates, it’s best to secure your reservation as soon as your schedule is confirmed. If you’re planning an event during a known busy time or requiring multiple large buses, giving even more lead time will help ensure we can accommodate your full request without compromise.
