Charter Bus Company Meriden Reviews

I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated Charter Bus Company Meriden helping us out at the last minute! We booked a 40-passenger bus for a company outing to Lake Compounce, and it was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. The driver showed up early, got everyone there, and made the whole day way less stressful. Would definitely use them again next time we need group transportation. Great service!

I just wanted to thank you guys for making our wedding day so much easier! We used Charter Bus Company Meriden to shuttle guests between the hotel in Wallingford and our venue in Middletown, and it worked out perfectly. The driver was right on time, super friendly, and helped everyone get settled. The bus was clean, comfortable, and even had WiFi so people could share photos during the ride. It was one less thing for us to worry about on a hectic day. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone planning a big event!

Paul the live agent was super helpful getting our youth group to a church retreat up in the Berkshires. Driver showed up early, loaded everyone’s bags, and made sure we got there on time. Bus had WiFi for the teens and AC that actually worked. Will use Charter Bus Company Meriden again next year!

5 stars! So easy to work with and responded super fast. We booked a 56-passenger bus for a school field trip to the Connecticut Science Center, and everything went smooth. The driver was friendly, the bus was clean and comfortable, and the kids had a blast. Would definitely use Charter Bus Company Meriden again for future trips!

Frequently Asked Questions About our 55 Passenger Charter Buses

Our 55-passenger charter bus fleet includes industry-leading models like the MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45. These are some of the most reliable and comfortable motorcoaches available, built for long-distance travel and large groups. If you have a specific make or model preference, let us know—we’ll do our best to accommodate your request based on availability. Each bus is equipped with modern amenities and designed to handle any trip, whether it’s a short shuttle or an interstate journey.

We offer 55-passenger charter buses in classic colors like black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. Custom wraps are available for corporate branding, school spirit, or special events—just ask when you book. If you need multiple buses in matching colors or want a specific look for your group, we can accommodate most requests. Full vinyl wraps can display sponsor logos, team mascots, or event branding across the entire exterior.

Standard amenities on our 55-passenger buses include reclining seats with armrests and footrests, individual reading lights, overhead parcel racks, and large underfloor luggage bays. Each coach is equipped with a PA system, multiple flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, 110V/USB outlets at every row, and free WiFi upon request. Climate control keeps the cabin comfortable year-round, while tinted windows reduce glare and heat from the sun. The onboard restroom is fully enclosed for privacy and convenience during long trips.

The cost to rent a 55-passenger charter bus ranges from $180–$500+ per hour, $1,800–$3,800 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. Factors that affect the price include trip distance, duration, time of year, and exact pickup/drop-off locations. Additional expenses may include tolls, parking fees, and lodging for the driver on overnight trips. For the most accurate quote, contact us with your full itinerary and we’ll provide a detailed estimate based on current rates and availability.

A 55-passenger charter bus offers more seating and storage than smaller minibuses, making it better suited for long-distance travel and large groups. Compared to a 47-passenger coach, the 55-seater has additional rows and slightly less legroom per seat, but significantly more capacity overall. While a 56-passenger model adds just one extra seat, both are considered industry standard sizes for full-size motorcoaches. Smaller options like 15-, 18-, or 28-passenger minibuses are easier to maneuver in tight spaces but lack amenities like restrooms and large luggage bays. Larger double-decker or articulated buses can hold even more people but are rarely needed outside of major urban events.

It’s best to book your 55-passenger charter bus at least 3-6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak season or coincides with major local events. Spring and summer are the busiest times for weddings, graduations, and school trips, while fall sees high demand for sports and college shuttles. Last-minute bookings are possible but may have limited availability and higher rates. Securing your reservation early ensures you get the exact vehicle you want and locks in the best price.
