More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
The 56-passenger charter bus is the workhorse of group transportation — and in Santa Monica, it earns that title each time the 10 freeway backs up between Bundy Drive and the McClure Tunnel. Popular models like the MCI J4500, Prevost X3-45, and Van Hool CX45 give your group serious highway range with the interior space to match. Forward-facing seats, wide center aisles, and enough headroom to walk comfortably from row to row make the long haul to Crypto.com Arena or the convention floor at the Los Angeles Convention Center feel nothing like a commute.
Why limit yourself to one company's fleet? Compare 56-passenger charter buses from a network of providers serving Santa Monica and the entire Westside — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Common 56 Passenger Charter Bus Amenities to Compare
The 56-passenger charter Buses Available through the network come loaded with amenities your group actually wants on a Santa Monica trip! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when June Gloom burns off and the temperature spikes heading inland on the 405. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth with extra legroom, so nobody arrives stiff after the crawl through Century City.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags, while undercarriage luggage bays fit full-size suitcases, instruments, and equipment — one bag per person below, personal items above. You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless mic for tour leaders and event coordinators, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so your playlist runs the whole ride. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that wants to stay productive on the way from Santa Monica to a South Bay campus or Burbank studio lot.
Onboard restrooms come standard on full-size coaches, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!

How much is a 56 Passenger Charter Bus rental?
56-passenger charter bus rentals in Santa Monica 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 airport transfer from the Shore Hotel on Ocean Avenue to LAX prices differently than a Tuesday corporate shuttle to El Segundo — and a handful of Santa Monica dates make the whole Westside market disappear early. LA Marathon Sunday in March closes Ocean Avenue and shuts down arterial streets across the entire route.
Tongva Twilight: Sounds & Cinema runs Saturday evenings August 8 through September 12, 2026 at Tongva Park. Book three to six months out for any of those windows — or call 323-486-9755 any time and a live agent will build a custom package around your itinerary. No need to fear, 30-second online pricing is here — enter your date, group size, and pickup location to land on a results page showing vehicles, photos, and pricing from a network of bus companies serving Santa Monica and the entire Los Angeles metro, no account needed!
