More About The 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Our fleet includes full-size coach models from brands like MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and TEMSA — built for long hauls and large headcounts. A Prevost H3-45 carries up to 56 passengers with panoramic frameless windows and around 470 cubic feet of underfloor storage, while an MCI J4500 offers a similar seated capacity with 595 cubic feet of cargo bay space — enough room for convention display materials, hotel luggage, or surfboards and gear headed to Mission Beach. These are the right vehicles for any run that takes you up the I-15 to Temecula wine country, across the Coronado Bridge for an event on the island, or down the South Bay Expressway toward the border.
One flat-rate booking handles your entire headcount, with no seats left empty and no cars scattered across three different parking structures.

Amenities On Our 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Full-size charter buses in our San Diego network come loaded with high-back reclining seats, climate control (welcome during the summer Comic-Con rush when downtown temperatures push past 80), a PA system, overhead parcel racks, WiFi, power outlets at every row, and cargo bays large enough for presentation equipment or a full grade level's worth of backpacks and coolers. An onboard restroom makes longer runs — say, a 90-minute charter up the I-15 to Pechanga Resort or a school trip to the San Diego Zoo — far more comfortable without roadside stops interrupting the schedule. Select models add TV monitors and a DVD player, useful for groups that want to run a pre-event briefing or keep younger passengers occupied on the return leg.

How much does a 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus cost in San Diego?
A 40-56 passenger charter bus rental in San Diego runs $162–$348+ per hour, $158–$327+ per day, or $1,331–$2,841+ per mile depending on your booking. A few things affect where your quote lands in that range: longer total hours (a full game day at Petco Park with tailgate time costs more than a quick 2-hour airport transfer), weekend and peak-season dates such as Comic-Con in July or the holiday stadium rush in December, total mileage for out-of-San-Diego runs up to Temecula or across to Palm Springs, and which specific vehicle in the fleet you need. The per-person cost usually looks pretty good once your group grows past about 30 people — one charter bus at a flat rate versus multiple parking passes, gas, and the stress of keeping a caravan together on the 5.
