More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
Your group of 56 gets the whole bus — no sharing, no splitting up, no wondering if the last car made it. The full-size motorcoaches available through the network are purpose-built for exactly this headcount, with forward-facing high-back seats, wide center aisles, and enough overhead and undercarriage storage to handle everyone's bags without a game of Tetris at the curb. Popular models include the MCI J4500, Prevost H3-45, and Van Hool CX45 — coaches that handle the 101 through San Mateo and the 280 through the hills equally well.
One vehicle, one pickup, one drop-off, and the whole group arrives together. That's the whole idea!

Amenities Commonly Found on 56 Passenger Charter Bus Rentals
Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com connects you to a network where the amenities on a 56-passenger charter bus are genuinely impressive — and you can compare what different vehicles offer before you ever pick up the phone! Every full-size motorcoach in the network comes with air conditioning and climate control so the Peninsula's famous June fog and August heat are somebody else's problem. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long ride down the 101.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and personal items, while undercarriage luggage bays hold full-size suitcases, instrument cases, and equipment (one bag per person) beneath the floor — up to 500 cubic feet of cargo space on most full-size coaches. You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports at every seat, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless microphone for tour guides or group leaders, and Bluetooth and AUX stereo so you can run your own playlist the whole way. WiFi is available on many models, which is great for corporate groups who want to stay productive on the ride from San Mateo to a South Bay campus.
An onboard restroom means no unplanned pit stops on longer hauls, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts and wider aisles are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!
