How Much Does a 55 Passenger Charter Bus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
A 55-passenger charter bus rental in Lompoc 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. Factors that affect pricing include the length of your trip, total mileage, duration, time of year, and any special requests such as custom branding or upgraded amenities. Additional expenses may include tolls, parking fees, and lodging for the driver on overnight trips. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing, contact our team directly with your trip details.
How Does a 55 Passenger Charter Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 55-passenger charter bus is one of the largest and most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering significantly more seating capacity than minibuses or sprinter vans while still providing a comfortable and spacious interior. Compared to smaller options, this full-size coach includes advanced amenities such as multiple video monitors, onboard restrooms, and extensive luggage storage both inside and below the cabin. It’s ideal for large groups traveling long distances, whereas smaller buses are better suited for short local trips or groups with fewer passengers. The 55-passenger model also offers superior ride quality, more powerful HVAC systems, and greater customization options compared to compact alternatives.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 55 Passenger Charter Bus?
We recommend booking your 55-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates. Lompoc experiences high demand during local events such as the Lompoc Flower Festival, Wine Grape Harvest, and regional sports tournaments, which can make it harder to get you a bus on short notice. Additionally, spring and summer are peak travel seasons due to weddings, graduations, and corporate retreats. By reserving early, you’ll have more options to choose from and can avoid last-minute price increases. If you need a bus on short notice, contact us anyway—we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
