55 Passenger Charter Bus

Charter Bus Company Leander operates one of the most diverse and modern fleets of 55-passenger charter buses in the industry, featuring all the top makes and models trusted by professional operators nationwide. When you book with us, you’ll get a coach built by one of these leading manufacturers: MCI J4500 (the gold standard for big groups, with up to 60 seats and every modern amenity), MCI D4500 (popular for commuter routes and longer-distance travel), Prevost H3-45 (the tallest, most spacious, and most luxurious motorcoach on the market), Van Hool CX45 (a rock-solid, European-style coach with smooth handling and advanced safety features), or TEMSA TS45 (a newer, lightweight model that’s tough, reliable, and great on fuel). Every one of these buses is built to handle big groups, big luggage, and big miles—so you can hit the road with confidence.

Our 55-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to match your event, brand, or personal preference. Standard options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow—perfect for everything from corporate travel and weddings to school athletics and special events. Need something unique? We also offer custom wraps and graphics so you can showcase your company logo, team colors, or event branding directly on the bus. 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 exact specifications. With one of the largest and most versatile fleets in the region, Charter Bus Company Leander makes it easy to get you a 55-passenger charter bus in any color you need.

Every 55-passenger charter bus from Charter Bus Company Leander comes loaded with the best standard amenities in the industry—so your passengers stay comfortable, connected, and entertained on even the longest trips. You’ll get high-back reclining seats with armrests and headrests, powerful A/C, and a full-size restroom at the rear of the coach. Need storage? There are overhead parcel racks inside plus huge underfloor luggage bays that can handle anything from suitcases to band or athletic equipment. Stay connected with onboard Wi-Fi, and keep devices charged using 110V power outlets and USB ports at every row. Entertainment options include multiple flat-screen video monitors (up to five per coach), DVD/Blu-ray players, HDMI inputs for laptops or gaming consoles, and a Bluetooth-compatible sound system. There’s also a PA system with wireless microphone, color-changing LED accent lighting, and optional upgrades like leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, or custom branding packages. If you need something specific—like seatback tray tables, folding footrests, or a custom seating configuration—just ask when you call. We run all the top brands (MCI, Van Hool, Prevost, TEMSA) so you’ll always get a premium coach built for comfort and reliability.

A 55-passenger charter bus rental from Charter Bus Company Leander typically costs between $180 and $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 additional expenses like parking fees at venues, tolls, or the driver’s hotel room on overnight trips. Gratuity is included in the base rate, though you’re welcome to tip extra for exceptional service. Keep in mind that these are estimated rates—actual pricing may be higher or lower based on factors like vehicle availability, exact pickup location, and current demand. The best way to get an accurate, real-time quote is to call our team directly at 737-379-0200 or use our online quote tool. We’ll quickly gather your trip details and give you a precise price before you book.

The 55-passenger charter bus is the largest and most versatile vehicle in the Charter Bus Company Leander fleet—perfect for big groups, long trips, and any event where you need serious seating capacity at an affordable rate. Compared to our smaller minibuses (which seat anywhere from 15 to 35), the full-size coach offers more room, better amenities, and way more storage—both overhead and in those huge underfloor luggage bays. It’s ideal for moving sports teams, school groups, corporate crews, or wedding parties all in one shot. You get upgraded features like reclining seats, powerful A/C, Wi-Fi, video monitors, and even a restroom at the back—stuff you won’t find on most smaller buses. And because it’s built for highway cruising, it actually rides smoother and quieter than a minibus bouncing around town. If you don’t need all 55 seats, we can set you up with a mid-size option that still feels spacious but might save a few bucks. But when you need to move a crowd—fast, comfortable, and all together—the 55-passenger charter bus is hands-down the best value going.

We recommend booking your 55-passenger charter bus at least three to six 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 Central Texas, spring and fall are peak times due to school field trips, athletic tournaments, graduations, and large festivals like South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin or Waco’s Magnolia Silobration. Summer also fills up quickly with wedding shuttles, family reunions, and vacation travel, while winter sees increased demand around the holidays and college bowl games. If you’re traveling over a holiday weekend, planning a multi-day trip, or need multiple vehicles, it’s even more important to reserve early. That said, we understand that plans can change or come together at the last minute—which is why we’re available 24/7 and will always do our best to find you a great bus even on short notice. Just give us a call as soon as you have your dates and headcount, and we’ll get you a fast, free quote so you can lock in your reservation right away.
