More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
A 56-passenger charter bus is the largest and most capable vehicle in the network, and it is built for exactly the kind of trip where a smaller bus would leave people behind. Full-size motorcoaches in this class are the same vehicles you see running interstate routes and major university charters, which means they are engineered for long-haul comfort, highway speeds, and the kind of sustained use that a day-trip or overnight journey demands. Popular models in the network include the Prevost H3-45, the Motor Coach Industries J4500, and the Van Hool CX45, each offering a wide center aisle, generous headroom, and a smooth highway ride that a minibus simply cannot match.
When your group hits 40 passengers or more, the 56-passenger charter bus is almost always the most cost-effective vehicle per seat in the entire fleet, and Busrentalcolumbus.com makes it easy to compare your options and find the right one for your Columbus trip!

Keep in mind that the 56-passenger charter buses available through the network come loaded with TONS of great features your group will actually use on a Columbus trip!

Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long ride.

How much does a 56 Passenger Charter Bus cost to rent?
Busrentalcolumbus.com is ready to get you pricing on a 56-passenger charter bus in Columbus in under 30 seconds! As a general guide, 56-passenger charter bus rentals in Columbus cost $205–$385+ per hour, $1,650–$2,950+ per day, and $6.20–$8.95+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle.
