More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
The 56-passenger charter bus is the right call when your group is large and your route is real. In Richmond, that matters. These full-size motorcoaches handle the on-ramp merge onto westbound I-580 toward the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, hold their own through the interchange at Cutting Boulevard and I-80, and pull cleanly into bus loading zones at venues across Contra Costa County without the tight-corner anxiety of a smaller vehicle.
Popular models you'll find through the network include the MCI J4500, Van Hool CX45, and Prevost X3-45 — all full-size coaches with a center aisle, enough headroom to walk upright from the front row to the back, and a cabin wide enough that nobody's bumping shoulders all the way to the venue.

56-passenger charter bus rentals in Richmond cost $205–$385+ per hour, $1,650–$2,950+ per day, and $6.20–$8.95+ per mile depending on the operator, the date, and the specific vehicle.
