More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
A 56-passenger charter bus is a full-size motorcoach option — one suited for groups that are genuinely large, trips that are genuinely long, and itineraries that need every single person in the same place at the same time. Whether you're moving a corporate delegation from the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows (101 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401) to a conference in Century City, shuttling a university group from Santa Monica College (1900 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90405) to an away event in San Diego, or organizing a stadium run to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on a Sunday when the 405 is already a parking lot, the 56-passenger motorcoach can keep the whole group together on one predictable itinerary. You set the pickup window.
You plan the stops. The selected operator coordinates the service between here and there.
Through this website, you compare Santa Monica charter bus rentals from a large network of independently owned operators through a national booking platform — so you're never limited to whatever one company has left on its calendar.

Common Amenities Available on Santa Monica 56 Passenger Charter Bus Rentals
Heading to a winery in Santa Barbara County? Shuttling a corporate group up the PCH to a retreat in Malibu? Common amenities on full-size motorcoaches include reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, overhead storage compartments, undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, and individual power outlets so passengers can stay powered throughout the trip.
That last detail matters more than people expect on a run from Santa Monica out to the Inland Empire or down to San Diego, where the trip can stretch past two hours each way. PA systems are common on full-size coaches too, which is a genuine convenience when your group coordinator needs to give updates without shouting over the I-10.
Amenities do vary by operator and vehicle, so the fastest way to confirm exactly what's on a specific coach is to call 424-478-5850 — a booking representative can walk you through what's available in the network for your date and route. Or enter your trip details online and the results page can include vehicle photos and package details right there, no guessing required.

How much does a 56 Passenger Charter Bus cost in Santa Monica?
Santa Monica charter bus rental prices for a full 56-passenger motorcoach typically run $205–$385+ per hour, $1,650–$2,950+ per day, and $6.20–$8.95+ per mile depending on your route, date, and the specific operator in the network. A day trip from Santa Monica up to a wine tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley will price differently than a round-trip stadium run to Inglewood on a Rams Sunday — and events like the Santa Monica Classic road race or graduation weekends at SMC tend to push availability tighter and rates higher. The sooner you compare, the better your options.
Submitting your trip details takes under 30 seconds on this website — enter your group size, pickup location, and destination, then continue to the booking platform for pricing from a network of transportation providers serving Santa Monica.
