What Amenities Come Standard on Your 55 Passenger Buses?
Every 55-passenger charter bus comes standard with forward-facing, high-back seats upholstered in durable fabric or optional leatherette/vinyl; each seat reclines, has a folding armrest, and includes either a fixed or stowable tray table. Entertainment features include multiple flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the cabin, a DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI/VGA inputs for connecting laptops or gaming consoles, and a PA system with a wired or wireless microphone. Connectivity options include onboard Wi-Fi (4G/5G), 110V AC outlets at every row, and USB-A/USB-C ports integrated into seatbacks or armrests. There is a full-width rear lavatory with a toilet and handwashing station, overhead parcel racks running the length of both aisles, and underfloor baggage bays accessible from outside the vehicle.

How Much Does a 55 Passenger Charter Bus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
A 55-passenger charter bus rental typically costs between $180 and $500+ per hour, $1,800 to $3,800 per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile.

How Does a 55 Passenger Charter Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 55-passenger charter bus is one of the largest and most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering maximum seating capacity, extensive luggage space, and the most advanced amenities available—making it the best choice for moving big groups over any distance. Smaller groups may get you a minibus, sprinter van, or party bus more affordable and easier to maneuver in tight urban settings, but those vehicles lack the seating, storage, and full-size amenities of a 55-passenger coach. For the best combination of capacity, comfort, and value, the 55-passenger charter bus is the top choice for any large-group trip.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 55 Passenger Charter Bus?
We recommend booking your 55-passenger charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or around a major local event. In Kentwood and the greater Grand Rapids area, demand for charter buses spikes during spring and fall due to school trips, sports tournaments, graduations, and events like ArtPrize or Festival of the Arts. Summer is also a peak time for weddings, corporate outings, and construction shuttles, which can quickly fill up the larger vehicles in our fleet. If you’re planning travel around holidays, homecoming, or special events at venues like Van Andel Arena or DeVos Place, it’s even more important to reserve early. While we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests, availability will be limited and prices may be higher—so the sooner you book, the better your options will be.
