By Royal Carriage Content Team4 min read

Motorcoach Rental Chicago: 50-56 Passenger Luxury Bus

When your group exceeds 30 passengers, you need a motorcoach — not a stretched party bus. Royal Carriage operates 50-passenger and 56-passenger motorcoaches with onboard lavatory, reclining seats, overhead luggage, climate control, and DOT-compliant operators.

Common Royal Carriage motorcoach use cases:

  1. Corporate offsites + retreats — 50-pax board + executive teams
  2. Wedding guest shuttles — hotel block ⇄ ceremony ⇄ reception
  3. School field trips + athletic teams — full-team transport
  4. Conference + convention shuttles — McCormick Place + Navy Pier
  5. Out-of-town guest transport — multi-day chauffeured itineraries

Call (224) 801-3090 to check availability and dates, or book online.

Wedding Motorcoach — Guest Shuttles

  • 5:00 PM: Ceremony → cocktail reception
  • 6:30 PM: Reception venue
  • 11:00 PM: Reception → hotel block return

Standard wedding motorcoach package: 5-hour minimum at $245/hr (50-pax) or $275/hr (56-pax). Wedding shuttle packages.
