More About The 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Our full-size charter buses include models from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and TEMSA — each designed for high-capacity, long-haul comfort. An MCI J4500 seats up to 56 passengers with nearly 600 cubic feet of underfloor luggage capacity, while a Prevost H3-45 delivers panoramic frameless windows and 470 cubic feet of undercarriage storage — more than enough for band equipment, convention materials, or a group's worth of weekend bags on a run down I-95 toward the coast. These vehicles are built for the kinds of loads that Triangle-area groups actually move: trade show freight to the Raleigh Convention Center, athletic gear for tournament travel, or the sheer volume of suitcases on a multi-day retreat.
One bus handles it all for one flat rate, meaning your group rides together and your budget stays predictable.

Amenities On Our 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Full-size charter buses in our Raleigh fleet come equipped with high-back reclining seats, individual overhead reading lights, and climate control that keeps the cabin comfortable whether you're heading out in August heat or a February cold snap. Onboard restrooms mean no unplanned pit stops on a two-hour haul down to Wilmington or up to Richmond. Undercarriage luggage bays swallow everything your group is hauling — and overhead storage racks handle the carry-on bags.
Depending on the model, you'll also find WiFi, 110V power outlets at every row, a PA system for announcements or presentations, and flat-panel TV monitors with DVD capability for longer rides. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just let us know when you book and we'll match you to the right bus in our network.

How much does a 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus cost in Raleigh?
A 40-56 passenger charter bus rental in Raleigh runs $162–$348+ per hour on weekdays and $158–$327+ per hour on weekends, with full-day rates from $1,331–$2,841+ depending on how you structure the trip. Hourly rates apply to most event-day runs — a Carter-Finley game-day pickup, an airport shuttle loop at RDU, or a full day of campus visits across the Triangle. Day rates make more sense for longer excursions to Charlotte or the Outer Banks, where you want the vehicle dedicated to your group without watching the clock.
What pushes the price higher: peak-demand dates (especially NC State home football weekends or the Hopscotch Music Festival in September), longer total distance, and premium vehicle models. Booking further out keeps more options open and rates competitive. Call 984-255-0443 for a live, no-obligation quote built around your exact itinerary.
