More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
The 56-passenger charter bus is the workhorse of group transportation — and in Raleigh, that matters. These full-size motorcoaches handle the long stretch of I-40 out to Research Triangle Park without breaking a sweat, and they're big enough to absorb a full corporate team, an entire student group, or a 56-person wedding guest list without anyone sitting on a lap. Popular models in the network include the MCI J4500, the Prevost H3-45, and the Van Hool CX45 — forward-facing seats throughout, a full center aisle, and enough ceiling height to stand up and walk to your seat comfortably.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 56-passenger charter buses from a network of providers serving Raleigh and the surrounding Triangle area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

The 56-passenger charter Buses Available through the network come loaded with features your group will actually use.

You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless mic, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so your playlist runs the whole way. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that needs to stay connected on the ride from Raleigh to a Research Triangle Park campus.

How much does a 56 Passenger Charter Bus cost to rent?
56-passenger charter bus rentals in Raleigh cost $205–$385+ per hour, $1,650–$2,950+ per day, and $6.20–$8.95+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday evening shuttle from a North Hills hotel to Lenovo Center for a Hurricanes game prices differently than a Wednesday corporate transfer to RTP — and a handful of Raleigh dates tighten availability across the whole Triangle fast. NC State commencement weekend in May, Raleigh Wine Festival dates, and Hurricanes playoff runs at Lenovo Center all pull demand early.
