More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
The 56-passenger charter bus is the workhorse of group transportation — and in the Hampton Roads region, that matters. These coaches handle the Downtown Tunnel and Midtown Tunnel approach lanes without the oversized-vehicle headaches that smaller vans can't avoid, and they carry enough passengers to make one vehicle the whole answer instead of a partial one. Popular models in the network include the MCI J4500, the Prevost X3-45, and the Van Hool TX45 — full-size motorcoaches with generous aisle height, wide seats, and the undercarriage bay depth to hold luggage for a group heading to Naval Station Norfolk or a multi-day run down to the Outer Banks.
Why limit yourself to one company's fleet? Compare 56-passenger charter buses from a network of providers serving Portsmouth and all of Hampton Roads — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

How much does a 56 Passenger Charter Bus cost?
56-passenger charter bus rentals in Portsmouth 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 Saturday evening run from Portsmouth to a Tides game at Harbor Park in Norfolk prices differently than a Tuesday corporate shuttle to Huntington Place — and a handful of Hampton Roads dates, like the Norfolk Harborfest in June or graduation weekends at Old Dominion University, have limited availability across the whole region, which means higher prices. The fastest way to see numbers for your exact trip?
