50 Passenger Charter Bus

Our 50-passenger fleet features industry-leading models from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and TEMSA—specifically the MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45—all built to handle long-distance routes with maximum comfort and reliability. These are the same heavy-duty, full-size coaches trusted by major universities, professional sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, and large event organizers across the country. Each model offers a rugged construction, powerful drivetrain, advanced suspension system, and spacious interior layout designed for high-capacity seating without sacrificing legroom or aisle width. When you book a 50-passenger bus with us, you’re getting a vehicle engineered for performance, durability, and passenger satisfaction on every trip.

We offer 50-passenger charter buses in a wide range of standard and custom colors to suit any type of event or branding requirement. Our most popular options include classic black, white, silver, and gray—perfect for corporate travel, weddings, and formal occasions—but we also have coaches available in blue, red, navy, and even yellow for school and athletic groups. If you need something truly unique, we can provide a custom vinyl wrap with your logo, team colors, or full-color graphics to make your bus stand out on the road. Just let us know what you’re looking for when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get a vehicle that matches your exact specifications.

All of our 50-passenger buses come equipped with a full suite of standard amenities designed to keep passengers comfortable, connected, and entertained on trips of any length. Every coach features high-back reclining seats with optional leatherette upholstery, folding armrests, and either forward-facing or custom seating layouts depending on your preference. Stay connected with fast 4G/5G Wi-Fi supported by dual rooftop antennas, USB-A/C charging ports at every seat, and 110V power outlets throughout the cabin. The integrated entertainment system includes multiple flat-screen monitors (up to six on larger models), DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio, and a powerful PA/microphone setup for announcements or presentations. Additional amenities include overhead parcel racks, individual reading lights, a full-size rear restroom with hands-free fixtures, and a spacious center aisle for easy movement. Optional upgrades like custom lighting, branded headrest covers, or beverage stations are available upon request.

The cost to rent a 50-passenger charter bus typically ranges from $180 to $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. Final pricing depends on several key factors: the distance and duration of your trip (local vs. out-of-town or multi-day), the time of year (peak demand seasons like spring and fall are more expensive), how far in advance you book, and any additional services required such as tolls, parking fees, or driver lodging for overnight trips. Short local charters are usually billed by the hour, while longer trips are priced either by the day or by total mileage. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking fees, or driver lodging on overnight trips. For the most accurate pricing, call our office with your exact itinerary and we’ll provide a detailed quote that includes all base rates and any expected additional expenses.

The 50-passenger charter bus is a full-size, high-capacity vehicle designed for large groups and longer trips, offering more seating and amenities than any minibus or smaller shuttle option. Unlike minibuses—which typically seat 15 to 35 passengers and lack onboard restrooms or extensive luggage storage—a 50-passenger coach provides spacious, reclining seats, multiple video monitors, powerful HVAC, and a restroom at the rear of the cabin. It’s ideal for moving sports teams, corporate groups, or wedding parties over longer distances because it keeps everyone together in one vehicle rather than splitting the group across multiple smaller buses. Compared to even larger 56+ passenger coaches, the 50-seater hits a sweet spot between capacity, maneuverability, and cost—making it one of the most versatile and popular choices for everything from local shuttles to out-of-state charters. If you need something smaller, we have minibuses and sprinter vans available; if you need something bigger, we can upgrade you to a 54-, 56-, or 60+ seat coach. But for most groups, the 50-passenger charter bus offers the best combination of size, comfort, and value.

We recommend booking your 50-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best possible rate, especially if your trip falls during a busy travel season or coincides with major local events. In Kingsport, high-demand periods include the summer months (June through August), when families and groups are taking vacations; the winter holidays (late November through December); and weekends when large events like concerts, festivals, or sporting events are happening at venues such as the MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center, J. Fred Johnson Stadium, or the Appalachian Fairgrounds. If you’re planning a trip that overlaps with regional events like the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, NASCAR races at Bristol Motor Speedway, or college football games in nearby cities, it’s critical to reserve your bus even earlier—ideally six months ahead—to avoid limited availability and higher prices. Last-minute bookings are possible but may result in higher costs and fewer options, so it’s always best to plan ahead and lock in your reservation as soon as your dates are set.
