Amenities Available on our 56 Passenger Charter Buses in Santa Cruz
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free WiFi available on every 56-passenger charter bus! Perfect for checking email, streaming music, or sharing photos from your trip, our onboard WiFi keeps you online whether you’re heading over Highway 17, cruising down the Pacific Coast, or making a longer run to San Francisco or LA. Need to finish a work project or jump on a Zoom call? You can do it all from the comfort of your seat while you ride. It’s just one more way we make traveling by charter bus easier and more convenient for everyone.
Onboard Restrooms
Every 56-passenger charter bus comes equipped with a full-service onboard restroom, including a toilet and sink. Onboard restrooms are especially valuable for school trips, athletic events, corporate outings, and any long-distance travel common to and from Santa Cruz—from beach runs to Waddell Creek to marathon shuttles over Highway 17—eliminating frequent stops and keeping your trip on schedule.
Onboard TVs
Keep your group entertained with multiple flat-screen TVs installed throughout the cabin of our 56-passenger buses. Each TV is mounted for easy viewing from any seat and can be used to play movies, show presentations, or display custom content via DVD/Blu-ray player or HDMI input. It’s perfect for passing the time on longer trips, running a video slideshow for a wedding party, or sharing important information with your passengers before arriving at a corporate event or conference.
Power Outlets
Every seat on our 56-passenger buses has access to a 110V power outlet or USB charging port, so you can keep phones, laptops, tablets, and other devices fully charged throughout your trip. Whether you’re catching up on work during a business trip, powering a CPAP machine for overnight travel, or letting kids play games on their iPads during a school outing, you’ll never have to worry about running out of battery before you reach your destination.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Our 56-passenger buses feature advanced climate control systems with personal air vents at each row, allowing passengers to adjust airflow to their individual preference. The powerful HVAC system maintains a comfortable temperature throughout the cabin regardless of outside weather conditions—essential for trips that cross multiple climate zones, such as traveling over the Santa Cruz Mountains to Silicon Valley or up the coast to San Francisco.
Leather Seating
Upgrade your ride with optional leather seating available on select 56-passenger models. The seats are ergonomically designed with adjustable headrests and reclining backs, so you can relax in comfort whether you’re heading over the hill to a tech shuttle in Mountain View or settling in for a long drive down Highway 1.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Storage will never be an issue when you rent a 56-passenger charter bus. Each coach includes spacious overhead compartments for small bags and personal items, plus large undercarriage bays that can hold luggage, sports equipment, musical instruments, or trade show displays. There’s plenty of room for everything you need to bring, whether it’s suitcases for a multi-day trip, surfboards for a competition at Steamer Lane, or coolers and folding chairs for a team event at Depot Park.
