54 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 54-passenger charter bus fleet includes industry-leading models from trusted manufacturers like MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and TEMSA—each designed for maximum comfort, reliability, and performance on long-distance or regional trips. Popular options include the MCI J4500 and D4500—both known for their smooth ride, spacious interiors, and advanced features—as well as the Prevost H3-45, which offers a high-deck design with panoramic windows and generous luggage capacity. We also run the Van Hool CX45 and TEMSA TS45, both of which are praised for their fuel efficiency, modern styling, and customizable seating layouts. Many of these coaches are available in multiple model years (2018–2024) to suit different budget and amenity preferences, and all come backed by full manufacturer specs, warranty support, and optional service contracts to keep your trip running smoothly from start to finish.

Our 54-passenger charter buses are available in a wide range of exterior colors—including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, yellow, and even custom wraps—to match your school colors, corporate branding, or special event theme. Whether you need a classic white coach for a wedding or sporting event, a sleek black or navy bus for executive travel, or a fully wrapped vehicle with your logo and graphics, we have options to fit every style and budget. Custom vinyl wraps and decals can be applied to any bus in the fleet for an additional fee, perfect for making a bold statement at your next big event. Just let us know what color or design you’re looking for when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get exactly what you need.

Every 54-passenger charter bus comes standard with a full suite of amenities designed to keep your group comfortable, connected, and entertained on the road. Enjoy high-back reclining seats with armrests and footrests, onboard Wi-Fi, individual power outlets and USB ports at each row, multiple flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, and Bluetooth-enabled speakers for playing music or making announcements. The integrated PA system is perfect for addressing the entire bus, while overhead parcel racks and underfloor luggage bays provide ample storage for bags and equipment. Additional features include individual reading lights, dual-zone climate control, LED accent lighting, and a clean, spacious restroom located mid-cabin or at the rear of the coach. Optional upgrades like wood-look flooring, leatherette upholstery, and branded headrest covers are also available upon request.

A 54-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, depending on the specifics of your trip. Final pricing is determined by factors such as the length and duration of the trip, total mileage, time of year, and any additional services or amenities requested. Your quote will include the base rental rate and driver gratuity, but additional expenses like parking fees, tolls, and overnight accommodations for the driver are billed separately.

The 54-passenger charter bus is one of the largest and most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering significantly more seating capacity and onboard amenities than smaller options like minibuses or sprinter vans. While minibuses typically seat between 18 and 35 passengers and are ideal for short-distance shuttles or airport transfers, the 54-passenger coach is designed for moving large groups over longer distances—making it perfect for school trips, athletic teams, corporate events, and multi-day tours. Compared to other full-size buses in our lineup, the 54-seater offers many of the same features as larger 56- or 60-passenger models—including reclining seats, Wi-Fi, power outlets, flat-screen TVs, and an onboard restroom—but with a slightly more compact footprint that can be easier to maneuver and park in tight spaces. It also provides excellent value for money, giving you maximum seating capacity at a lower per-passenger cost than booking multiple smaller vehicles. If you’re not sure which size is right for your group, just give us a call and we’ll help you find the perfect fit.

To ensure availability and get the best rates, we recommend booking your 54-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance—especially if your trip falls during a busy travel period or coincides with major local events. In La Crosse, peak demand typically occurs around university graduations, homecoming weekends, Oktoberfest celebrations, and regional sporting tournaments, when vehicles can sell out quickly and prices may be higher. Booking early gives you access to our full fleet of vehicles, allows time to finalize your itinerary and secure any special amenities, and locks in your rate before last-minute surcharges apply. If you do need a bus on short notice, we can often accommodate last-minute requests thanks to our large inventory and flexible scheduling—but you’ll have the most options and save money by planning ahead. Once you have your dates and headcount finalized, call our reservation team to get an instant quote and reserve your bus with a simple deposit.
