More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
The 56-passenger charter bus is the workhorse of group transportation — and in Cambridge, that matters more than almost anywhere else. These coaches are large enough to move an entire department's worth of researchers from Kendall Square to a South Boston venue in a single run, yet they navigate the rotary at Fresh Pond Parkway and the tight approach onto Massachusetts Avenue near Central Square without the oversized-vehicle headaches that catch groups off guard. Popular models like the MCI J4500, Prevost H3-45, and Van Hool CX45 can provide forward-facing seating for groups of up to 56, overhead bins, and enough legroom to arrive at the venue feeling like a person.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 56-passenger charter buses from a network of providers serving Cambridge and the surrounding area — all in one place, with online quote estimates and vehicle photos, no account needed!

The 56-passenger charter buses available through the network come loaded with TONS of great features your group actually wants on a Cambridge trip!

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 or faculty, Bluetooth/AUX stereo for your own playlist, and WiFi on many models — great for the research team that wants to stay productive on the ride from Cambridge to a conference in Providence.

How much does a 56 Passenger Charter Bus cost to rent?
56-passenger charter bus rentals in Cambridge 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.
