55 Passenger Charter Bus

Charter Bus Company Monroe proudly offers 55-passenger charter buses from the most respected manufacturers in the industry, including MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Temsa. Specific models include the MCI J4500 and D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45. These coaches are known for their reliability, comfort, and advanced features, making them ideal for long-distance travel, corporate events, and large group movements. Each model comes equipped with a full suite of amenities designed to enhance the passenger experience. If you have a specific make or model preference, let us know—we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

Our 55-passenger charter buses come in a range of exterior colors including classic white, black, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and even yellow for school-related events. We also offer custom wraps if you want to display a company logo, wedding monogram, or team branding on the side of the bus. Interior color schemes vary by manufacturer and model year but typically feature neutral tones such as charcoal, beige, or navy upholstery with matching aisle carpeting and light gray or tan side panels. Woodgrain or brushed metal finishes are common on luggage racks and trim pieces. If you have a specific color preference for photography or branding purposes, please mention it during the booking process and we will do our best to accommodate your request based on fleet availability.

Amenities on our 55-passenger charter buses include reclining seats with armrests and footrests, individual LED reading lights, overhead parcel racks, power outlets and USB ports at each row, flat-screen monitors (typically 6–8 per coach) with DVD/Blu-ray players, HDMI input for laptops or streaming devices, PA system with wireless microphone, onboard Wi-Fi, front and mid-cabin luggage racks, underfloor baggage bays, full climate control (roof-mounted HVAC), and a rear restroom with toilet and sink. Additional features may include tray tables, cup holders, and leatherette headrests. If you need something specific like seat-back tables or extra monitors, let us know—we can usually accommodate special requests.

It depends on your origin, destination, total mileage, number of days, and time of year. You’ll pay more during peak season (spring/fall), holiday weekends, or if the bus has to deadhead a long distance to your pickup. Multi-day trips are charged by the day; local transfers may be hourly with a 4–6 hour minimum. Extras like tolls, parking, and driver lodging are additional. The best way to get an exact quote is to call with your full itinerary—we’ll give you a custom price fast and free.

The 55-passenger charter bus is one of the largest and most versatile vehicles available in our fleet, offering significantly more seating and storage capacity than smaller options like minibuses or sprinter vans. Compared to a 25- or 35-passenger minibus, the 55-passenger coach provides full underfloor luggage bays, onboard restrooms, and additional amenities such as multiple video monitors, PA systems, and enhanced climate control. While a 47- or 50-passenger charter bus shares many of the same features, the 55-passenger model maximizes interior space with extra rows of seating and increased overhead storage. This makes it ideal for long-distance travel, large group movements, and events where carrying capacity is a priority. If you need to move the maximum number of people per vehicle, this is the best choice. Smaller buses are easier to maneuver and may cost less, but they don’t offer the same level of comfort or luggage capacity. We recommend the 55-passenger model for any trip where headcount or baggage volume is high.

You should book your 55-passenger charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best selection and pricing, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons such as spring (April–June) or fall (September–November). Large vehicles like this are in high demand for events such as school trips, weddings, and corporate outings, and availability can become limited quickly. If your event coincides with major local happenings—such as college graduations, sports playoffs, or holiday weekends—it’s wise to reserve even earlier. Last-minute bookings are possible but may result in higher costs or fewer choices. The earlier you secure your reservation, the more options you’ll have regarding amenities, bus color, and exact model. A deposit is typically required to hold the bus, with the balance due closer to the departure date. Start planning as soon as your schedule is confirmed to avoid sold-out situations and premium rates.
