50 Passenger Charter Bus

Charter Bus Company La Crosse offers a wide selection of 50-passenger charter buses from the most trusted and recognized brands in the industry. Our fleet includes the MCI J4500—a favorite for its smooth ride, modern styling, and advanced features—as well as the MCI D4500, which is built tough for both highway runs and city streets. We also carry the Prevost H3-45, known for its high-deck design and luxury interior; the Van Hool CX45, a versatile coach with European flair; and the TEMSA TS45, which offers a roomy cabin and excellent fuel efficiency. Each model comes standard with reclining seats, powerful A/C, flat-screen monitors, Wi-Fi, 110V/USB outlets, a full-size restroom, and generous luggage space both above and below the floor. If you need a specific make or model for your next trip, just ask—we’ll make sure you get exactly what you want.

Our 50-passenger charter buses are available in a range of exterior colors to suit any type of event or branding requirement. Standard options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. For corporate groups, schools, or athletic teams looking to showcase their logo or colors, we also offer custom vinyl wraps and decal packages that can turn the entire bus into a rolling billboard. Just let us know what you need when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure your bus looks exactly the way you want it.

Every 50-passenger charter bus in our fleet comes loaded with amenities designed to keep riders comfortable, connected, and entertained on even the longest trips. Standard features include high-back seats with plush fabric or leatherette upholstery, armrests, footrests, and the ability to recline for relaxing or napping. Each seat has access to both 110V power outlets and USB ports for charging devices, while optional Wi-Fi packages ensure everyone stays online. Multiple flat-screen monitors are mounted throughout the cabin and can be used for DVD playback, HDMI input from a laptop, or digital signage. There’s a full-size restroom located mid-cabin or at the rear, overhead parcel racks for carry-on items, and powerful HVAC systems that keep the temperature consistent from front to back. Additional upgrades include color-changing LED lighting, wood-look vinyl flooring, and PA systems with wireless microphones.

The cost to rent a 50-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—but final pricing depends on several key factors. Your total rate is based on the length and distance of your trip, how many days you need the bus, time of year, and exact pickup location. Additional expenses like tolls, parking fees, and hotel rooms for the driver (if required) are not included in the base rate and will be added to your final invoice. You’ll receive a detailed quote upfront that outlines all costs. To get an accurate price for your specific trip, call our office or use the online quote tool with your full itinerary details.

A 50-passenger charter bus is one of the largest vehicles you can get without moving up to a specialty or double-decker coach, making it ideal for big groups who want to travel together comfortably. Compared to smaller minibuses or sprinter vans—which typically seat anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers—a full-size charter bus offers significantly more seating, better legroom, and far greater storage capacity both under the floor and in overhead bins. It’s perfect for moving an entire sports team, wedding party, corporate department, or school group in a single vehicle. While it’s not as nimble in tight city streets as a minibus, it handles highway and long-distance routes with ease and provides a smoother ride thanks to its size and suspension. If you need something even larger, we also offer 56- and 60-passenger coaches; if your group is smaller, our minibuses and sprinters are more budget-friendly options with many of the same amenities. Whatever your group size, we’ve got a vehicle that fits.

It’s best to book your 50-passenger charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or overlaps with major events. In La Crosse, demand spikes around university events at UW-La Crosse and Viterbo University, regional festivals like Oktoberfest, and spring break or holiday travel periods. If you’re planning a trip during these times, aim to reserve your bus as early as possible. Last-minute bookings are sometimes available, but choices may be limited and prices can be higher. Once you have your dates and headcount finalized, contact us right away to lock in your reservation.
