40-56 Passenger Charter Bus Rental
When your headcount outgrows a minibus and the trip is too important to leave to a caravan of personal vehicles, the 40-56 passenger charter bus is the right call. It picks up a full corporate group flying into Rochester International Airport (RST) and takes them to IBM's sprawling campus on US-52 without a single luggage scramble. It also keeps a wedding guest group together on the drive between a Zumbro River ceremony and a reception hall in Byron — one bus, one flat rate, zero coordination headaches. Party Bus Rochester makes booking one straightforward, with all-inclusive pricing available in under 30 seconds.

More About The 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Our network includes full-size coaches from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and TEMSA — the equipment that regional medical conference organizers and university athletic departments count on when moving large groups without drama. An MCI J4500 seats up to 56 passengers and carries nearly 600 cubic feet of underfloor cargo, which handles trade-show display cases heading to the Mayo Civic Center (30 Civic Center Dr SE) just as easily as hockey bags bound for a tournament in Duluth. A Prevost H3-45 adds panoramic frameless windows, which passengers love on the long, open stretch up US-52 through Goodhue County on the way to the Twin Cities.
Whatever the route, one bus takes your whole crew for a single, predictable price — no second vehicle needed.

Amenities On Our 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Rochester winters are not forgiving, and these coaches keep the temperature comfortable with dual-zone climate control across every row — a detail that matters on a 6 a.m. pickup outside a downtown hotel in January. Standard amenities include high-back reclining seats, overhead parcel racks, a PA system, WiFi, power outlets at each seat, an onboard restroom, and undercarriage bays deep enough for checked luggage and presentation equipment. On longer runs — the 90-minute corridor up I-35W to a Timberwolves game at Target Center, or a charter to Winona along I-90 — the onboard restroom means your group stays on schedule without pulling over at a Casey's General Store.

How much does a 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus cost in Rochester?
Rochester charter bus rentals in this size class run $158–$327+ per hour on weekdays and $162–$348+ per hour on weekends, with full-day itineraries ranging from $1,331 to $2,841+. Several factors move a quote within those ranges. Total hours reserved — including any wait time at a venue like Costello Field or the Mayo Clinic's Gonda Building plaza — affects the hourly rate directly.
Weekend dates cost more than weekday equivalents, and busy windows like Rochesterfest week in late June, Mayo Clinic graduation season in May, and fall conference season push quotes toward the higher end. A longer mileage run, such as a round trip from downtown Rochester down to the Spam Museum in Austin and back, adds to the total differently than a tight local loop. Because all pricing is all-inclusive with no hidden costs, the fastest way to get your exact number is to call 507-516-3780 with your date, headcount, and pickup location.
