Amenities Commonly Found on 56 Passenger Charter Bus Rentals
One ride on a 56-passenger charter bus and your group will never want to go back to splitting up into a caravan of cars! The full-size motorcoaches available through the network come loaded with the amenities your passengers actually want — starting with air conditioning and climate control so everyone stays comfortable whether you're rolling through the Oakland hills or sitting in Bay Bridge traffic on a warm September afternoon. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long haul down to Santa Cruz or up to Sacramento.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and smaller personal items, and the undercarriage luggage bays fit full-size luggage, instruments, and equipment — up to one bag per person — so your group travels with everything it needs without sacrificing cabin space. You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports at the seats, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless microphone for group leaders and tour guides, and Bluetooth and AUX stereo so you can run your own playlist from the first pickup to the final drop-off.
WiFi is available on many models — a huge win for corporate groups who want to stay productive on the ride between Berkeley and a South Bay campus. Every 56-passenger motorcoach includes an onboard restroom, which makes all the difference on longer trips where stopping isn't part of the plan. And if anyone in your group needs an ADA-accessible vehicle with a wheelchair lift or wider aisle, just mention it when you request your quote and the network will match you with the right bus.
Amenities do vary by vehicle, so the earlier you compare, the more options you'll have to choose from!

How much is a 56 Passenger Charter Bus rental?
For quick and easy pricing on a 56-passenger charter bus in Berkeley, the online quote tool on this page is your fastest move — just enter your date, group size, and pickup location and you'll have pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies in under 30 seconds, no account required! To give you a general sense of the range: 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 Tuesday corporate shuttle from Downtown Berkeley to the Emeryville waterfront will price differently than a Saturday charter to a Dolphins game at Hard Rock Stadium — and a handful of Berkeley dates fill the East Bay bus market fast.
Cal commencement runs across about one week in May with department graduations stacked on either side of the campuswide ceremony at California Memorial Stadium, and the first half of May books out early across the region. Home football Saturdays do the same thing seven times a fall — and the Big Game against Stanford on November 21 is the single toughest date of the year to find a vehicle. For those dates, book three to six months out or expect premium pricing and slim pickings.
For most other Berkeley trips, a few weeks of lead time is workable — but the earlier you compare, the better your options and the better your price. Use the online tool to get instant pricing, or call 510-356-6370 any time and a live agent will build a custom package around your exact headcount, travel dates, and itinerary!
