The variety of color options ensures that your bus will not only perform well but also present the right image for your group.

Standard amenities on our 55-passenger buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, dual-zone climate control, multiple flat-screen monitors connected to a central media system, wireless PA/microphone setup, USB/power outlets at each row, and high-capacity underfloor luggage bays. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin for carry-on items, while tinted windows and full-length curtains provide privacy and sun protection. Additional features such as footrests, tray tables, and custom lighting may be available depending on the specific make and model. These buses are designed to keep large groups comfortable and entertained on trips of any length, making them a popular choice for school, corporate, and event transportation.

The cost of renting a 55-passenger charter bus in Maple Grove typically ranges from $180 to $500+ per hour, $1,800 to $3,800 per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile, depending on several key factors. The most significant variables affecting price include the total duration of the rental, the distance traveled, and the time of year—peak seasons such as summer months or major event weekends often command higher rates due to increased demand. Additional considerations that can influence the final quote are the specific amenities requested (e.g., upgraded entertainment systems or Wi-Fi), whether the trip requires overnight stays (which may necessitate lodging for the driver), and any special routing or scheduling needs. It’s important to note that while the base rate covers the vehicle and standard services, extras such as parking fees, tolls, and gratuity for the driver may not be included and should be budgeted separately. For the most accurate pricing, it’s best to contact us directly with your exact itinerary so we can provide a customized quote tailored to your group’s needs.

The 55-passenger charter bus is one of the largest and most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering significantly more seating capacity than smaller options such as minibuses (which typically hold 18– 35 passengers) or mid-size coaches (36–44 passengers). While it shares many of the same amenities—such as reclining seats, climate control, and entertainment systems—the main advantage is its ability to move very large groups in a single vehicle, reducing the need for multiple trips or additional vehicles. Compared to a 56 or 57-passenger bus, the difference is minimal and often comes down to specific floor plans or manufacturer variations. Smaller buses may be easier to maneuver in tight urban settings and are generally less expensive to rent, but they lack the extensive luggage space and full range of amenities found on the 55-passenger model. Ultimately, this bus is the best choice when you need maximum capacity without sacrificing comfort or features.

It’s best to book your 55-passenger charter bus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best possible rate, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major events in the area. In Maple Grove, demand tends to spike around local festivals, school graduations, and sports tournaments, which can make last-minute bookings difficult or more expensive. If you’re planning travel during peak times—such as spring break, summer vacation, or the winter holiday season—it’s wise to reserve your bus even earlier. While we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice, giving yourself plenty of lead time will provide more options and flexibility for your itinerary. Once you have your dates and headcount confirmed, locking in your reservation early is the smartest way to guarantee transportation for your group.
