55 Passenger Charter Bus

We offer several of the best and most popular 55-passenger charter bus models in the industry, including the MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45—all built to handle long-distance travel, tough city streets, and everything in between. These are the same heavy-duty, high-capacity coaches trusted by airlines, pro sports teams, and Fortune 500 companies because they run smooth, carry big groups comfortably, and hold up year after year. Each model comes standard with forward-facing seats, strong air conditioning, overhead storage, underfloor luggage bays, video monitors, Wi-Fi, and a restroom at the rear or mid-cabin. If you need something specific—like leather upholstery, USB ports at every seat, or a particular floor plan—just ask when you call. We’ve got one of the largest fleets in the region, so you’ll always get a bus that fits your trip and your budget.

Our 55-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to match your event, branding, or personal preference—including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and even yellow. Need something special? We can also arrange custom wraps or graphics for your bus, perfect for corporate branding, school spirit, or wedding decorations. Just let us know what you’re looking for when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get a vehicle that fits your style.

Every 55-passenger charter bus comes loaded with amenities designed to keep passengers comfortable, entertained, and connected for the duration of their trip. Standard features include high-back reclining seats with optional leatherette upholstery, individual reading lights, powerful climate control, and multiple flat-screen video monitors throughout the cabin. Stay connected with onboard Wi-Fi and 110V/USB power outlets at every row, perfect for streaming entertainment, catching up on email, or powering devices on the go. There’s a PA system with wireless microphone for announcements, Bluetooth/AUX inputs for custom playlists, and a DVD player for movies or presentations. Each bus has a clean, spacious restroom located mid-cabin, plus generous storage options including overhead parcel racks and large underfloor luggage bays that can handle anything from suitcases to athletic gear. Optional upgrades include leatherette seating, wood-look flooring, folding tray tables, and custom branding or headrest covers—just ask when you request your quote.

Pricing for a 55-passenger charter bus rental in Linden 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, driver, fuel, and standard amenities, but does not cover expenses like tolls, parking fees at venues (which you’ll need to purchase separately), or lodging for the driver on overnight trips.

How Does a 55 Passenger Charter Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?

The 55-passenger charter bus is the largest and most versatile vehicle in our fleet, making it ideal for transporting big groups over long distances with maximum comfort and efficiency. Compared to smaller options like minibuses or sprinter vans, this full-size coach offers significantly more seating, better amenities (including restrooms and multiple video monitors), and extensive luggage storage both overhead and under the floor. While compact buses are great for short local shuttles or small-group outings, the 55-passenger model is built for serious travel—perfect for everything from corporate events and school trips to sports teams and multi-day tours. If you need to move a lot of people at once and keep everyone together, this is the bus that gets it done.

We recommend booking your 55-passenger charter bus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing—especially if your trip falls during a busy travel season or coincides with major local events. In Linden and the greater New York/New Jersey region, demand for large charter buses spikes around spring and fall due to school field trips, graduations, and athletic events, as well as during the holiday season when companies and families plan end-of-year gatherings. Additionally, regional events like the New York City Marathon, major concerts at MetLife Stadium, and trade shows at the Javits Center can quickly deplete available inventory. By securing your reservation early, you’ll have a wider selection of vehicles to choose from and can lock in rates before they increase closer to your departure date. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher prices.

A 55-passenger charter bus offers ample storage space for both carry-on items and larger pieces of luggage, making it easy to keep the cabin clutter-free and aisles clear. Each coach is equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays—often referred to as “stowage” or “cargo” compartments—that can accommodate one large suitcase or duffel bag per passenger, similar to airline checked baggage. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks provide additional room for smaller bags, backpacks, or personal items that passengers may want to access during the trip. This combination of underfloor and interior storage ensures that even groups traveling with bulky equipment—such as sports teams, band ensembles, or conference attendees—will have plenty of room for all their gear. If you have specific questions about oversized items or need exact dimensions, our team can provide detailed specifications for each bus model.
