54 Passenger Charter Bus

Charter Bus Company Kentwood offers several different makes and models of 54-passenger charter buses, including the MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45. These are some of the most popular and trusted motorcoaches in the industry, known for their smooth ride, spacious interiors, and advanced safety features. If you need something specific—like a certain brand, color, or interior layout—just ask when you call. We can usually match you with exactly the kind of bus you want, and we’ll make sure you get a vehicle that’s clean, modern, and backed by the best customer service in the business.

Our 54-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of colors to suit any type of trip or event. Standard options include black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and even yellow—perfect for everything from corporate and school transportation to sporting events, weddings, and special events. Need something that stands out? We also offer custom wraps so you can display your company logo, team colors, or event branding right on the side of the bus. Just let us know what you’re looking for when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get a bus that fits your exact specifications.

When you rent a 54-passenger charter bus from Charter Bus Company Kentwood, you’ll get a vehicle with all the best standard amenities to keep your group comfortable and connected on the road. Every bus comes with reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning and heating, and a clean onboard restroom. Entertainment options include multiple flat-screen monitors, a DVD player, a PA system with a microphone, and optional Wi-Fi so passengers can stream video or check email. There are 110V power outlets and USB ports at every row, plus Bluetooth/AUX inputs for music. Storage includes large underfloor luggage bays and overhead parcel racks inside the cabin. Upgrades like leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, and custom branding or wraps are also available.

The cost to rent a 54-passenger charter bus 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 gratuity, but does not cover additional expenses like parking passes at venues, tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Final pricing depends on factors such as trip distance, duration, pickup location, time of year, and current availability.

A 54-passenger charter bus offers the best combination of seating capacity, comfort, and versatility for large groups traveling in and around Kentwood. Compared to smaller minibuses (which typically seat 18–35), this full-size coach can handle big events, school trips, corporate outings, or multiple families heading to a wedding—all with room for everyone’s luggage stored below. It’s easier to book than the larger 56- or 60-seat models (which cost more and aren’t needed unless you have a truly massive group), but still gives you all the same amenities: reclining seats, strong A/C, Wi-Fi, video screens, a PA system, and a clean onboard restroom. Smaller vehicles might save a few bucks on short local runs, but anything over an hour feels cramped fast. The 54-passenger bus hits the sweet spot—big enough for serious travel, compact enough to maneuver tight parking lots, and priced right for budget-conscious planners who still want a professional-grade ride. That’s why it’s one of the most popular sizes in the industry, and why you’ll see them everywhere from airport curb zones to stadium tailgates to company picnics in the park.

We recommend booking your 54-passenger charter bus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates—especially if your trip falls during a busy time of year. In Kentwood and the greater Grand Rapids area, demand for charter buses spikes around major events like ArtPrize, Tulip Time in Holland, spring break, summer weddings, and fall sports seasons, so it’s smart to reserve early. If you’re traveling during a holiday weekend, planning a multi-day trip, or need multiple vehicles, give us as much notice as possible—we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests, but you’ll have more options and better pricing if you book ahead.
