More About The 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Our full-size charter bus network includes coaches from brands like MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and TEMSA — each seating between 40 and 56 passengers with serious undercarriage storage capacity. A standard MCI J4500 carries up to 56 passengers and packs roughly 595 cubic feet of underfloor luggage space, which means there's real room for convention gear, athletic equipment, beach bags for a Coronado group trip, or oversized luggage on a cruise departure from the Port of San Diego B Street Pier. The cabin runs wide enough that a full seat row is comfortable even on the I-5 grind between Downtown and Chula Vista.
One bus, one flat rate, everyone together — no caravan of cars splitting your group up across the 163 interchange.

Amenities On Our 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Full-size charter buses in our San Diego fleet come equipped with high-back reclining seats, full climate control, overhead parcel racks, WiFi, power outlets at every row, a PA system, an onboard restroom, and deep undercarriage luggage bays. Depending on the specific model you book, a Prevost H3-45 adds panoramic frameless windows and 110V seat-side outlets — great for executive groups who need to stay productive between the Gaslamp Quarter and a UTC-area corporate campus. An MCI J4500 brings overhead LED lighting and individual TV monitors with a DVD player for school groups and longer charters heading out to Cabrillo National Monument or down to the Tijuana border.
The onboard restroom is a genuine comfort on anything over 45 minutes — no pit stops on the I-8 corridor, no scramble at a rest stop.

How much does a 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus cost in San Diego?
A 40-56 passenger San Diego charter bus rental runs $158–$327+ per hour on weekdays and $162–$348+ per hour on weekends, with daily rates ranging from $1,331 to $2,841+ for full-day itineraries. Where your quote falls within those ranges depends on a handful of clear factors: how many total hours the bus is reserved (a longer block always produces a lower effective hourly rate), whether your date falls on a high-demand weekend like Comic-Con in July or fleet cup match days at Snapdragon Stadium, the distance between your pickup point and destination, and your final headcount. All-inclusive pricing means no surprises — you see the exact number before you ever confirm the booking.
