55 Passenger Charter Bus

Charter Bus Company Kokomo offers several different makes and models of 55-passenger charter buses, including some of the most trusted and widely used coaches in the industry. Our fleet includes the MCI J4500 and MCI D4500, both known for their smooth ride, modern styling, and durable construction; the Prevost H3-45, which is popular for its high deck, spacious interior, and premium build quality; the Van Hool CX45, a versatile European-style coach with a strong reputation for reliability; and the TEMSA TS45, a newer model that offers excellent value and performance. Each of these buses can seat up to 55 passengers in forward-facing rows and comes equipped with all the standard amenities you expect from a full-size motorcoach. If you have a specific make or model in mind, just ask—our reservations team can help you find exactly what you need.

Our 55-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to match your event, brand, or personal preference. Standard color options include black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow. If you need something special, we also offer custom wraps and graphics—perfect for schools, sports teams, corporate branding, or custom event signage. 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 style.

Every 55-passenger charter bus comes standard with a full set of amenities designed to keep your group comfortable, connected, and entertained on the road. You’ll get high-back reclining seats with headrests, armrests, and optional footrests; powerful HVAC system with individual climate controls; multiple flat-screen monitors throughout the cabin; DVD/Blu-ray player; advanced sound system with Bluetooth, USB, and AUX inputs; PA microphone; and full Wi-Fi connectivity with 4G/5G cellular bonding for fast, reliable internet access. There are also front/rear/lateral video monitors, integrated camera systems with DVR recording, two-basin lavatory with hands-free fixtures and baby-changing station, full galley with microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and filtered water, plus optional upgrades like leatherette upholstery, custom graphics/wraps, upgraded lighting, and expanded luggage compartments—everything you need for a smooth, comfortable trip.

A 55-passenger charter bus rental typically costs $180–$500+ per hour, $1,800–$3,800 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile, depending on the length and nature of your trip. The final price will depend on several factors, including the distance traveled, duration of the rental, time of year, and any additional services requested. Longer trips and multi-day charters may qualify for discounted daily or mileage rates, while short local runs are usually billed by the hour. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging on overnight trips are not included in the base rate and will be billed separately. For the most accurate pricing, contact our reservation team with your exact itinerary and we’ll provide a detailed quote that covers all costs.

The 55-passenger charter bus is one of the largest and most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering significantly more seating and storage capacity than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans. While minibuses are ideal for short trips and small groups, the 55-passenger coach is better suited for large-scale events, long-distance travel, and any situation where keeping a big group together is important. It offers more legroom, bigger luggage compartments, and a wider range of onboard amenities than smaller vehicles, making it the preferred choice for everything from corporate outings and school trips to sporting events and multi-day tours. If you need to move a lot of people at once, this is the bus to get.

We recommend booking your 55-passenger charter bus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates. This is especially important during peak travel seasons—such as spring and fall, when schools are organizing field trips and athletic events, or summer, when weddings and corporate outings are common. In Kokomo, major events like the Haynes Apperson Festival, downtown construction projects, and local sports tournaments can also impact availability. Last-minute bookings are possible, but your choice of vehicles may be limited and prices may be higher. As soon as you know your travel dates and headcount, give us a call to lock in your reservation.
