Common Amenities Available on 56 Passenger Charter Bus Rentals
Planning a long day of group travel out of Santa Monica is a whole lot easier when the bus itself takes care of everyone on board! The 56 passenger charter buses available through the network come loaded with amenities your group will actually appreciate. Every coach includes air conditioning and climate control — critical on a warm Santa Monica afternoon when the temperature climbs and the 10 Freeway is backed up all the way to the 405.
Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long haul.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and smaller personal items, and undercarriage luggage bays fit full-size luggage, instrument cases, and equipment — one bag per person, with room for the extras your group brings along. You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports at every row, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with a 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 — great for the team that wants to stay connected on the ride from Santa Monica to a South Bay conference.
An onboard restroom means no unscheduled stops on longer trips, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair ramps and wider aisle clearance are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!

How much does a 56 Passenger Charter Bus cost to rent?
Busrentalsantamonica.com makes it incredibly easy to see pricing for a 56 passenger charter bus rental in Santa Monica in under 30 seconds! 56 passenger charter bus rentals 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 wedding shuttle looping between a Santa Monica hotel and a Malibu venue will price differently than a Tuesday corporate transfer down the 405 to LAX — and a handful of dates on the Los Angeles calendar drive demand so high across the entire metro that availability tightens fast.
The Rose Bowl Game on January 1st. Coachella weekends in April. USC home Saturdays at the Coliseum.
Lakers and Clippers playoff runs at Crypto.com Arena. Prom season across Santa Monica High School and the surrounding Westside districts in May. These are the dates that fill the network early — and waiting until the last minute almost always means higher rates and fewer vehicles to choose from.
Book three to six months out for most Santa Monica trips, and stretch that window to six months or more when your date lands on one of those peak weekends.
The fastest way to see numbers for your exact trip is to use the online quote tool right here — enter your date, group size, and pickup location and you'll have instant pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Santa Monica in under 30 seconds.
