Charter Bus Rentals For Emergencies & Evacuations in Santa Cruz

When you choose Santa Cruz Coach Bus Service, you’re working with a company that has experience handling real-world emergencies—including wildfire evacuations, flood response, and large-scale power shutoff events. We’ve helped evacuate neighborhoods during CZU Lightning Complex fires, moved students and staff for UCSC campus closures, and provided standby vehicles during PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs. Our dispatch center operates 24/7/365, so you can always reach someone when it matters most. We offer flexible pricing options—including hourly, daily, and multi-day rates—and will work with you to get you a solution that fits your budget. Most importantly, we do what it takes to get the job done—because we know lives are on the line.

When it comes to evacuating people during an emergency, time is of the essence. You need a transportation service that can respond quickly and efficiently to your call. That’s why we offer evacuation shuttle bus rentals that are available at a moment’s notice. We have experience working with various organizations, such as hospitals, schools, businesses, government agencies, and non-profits, to provide them with evacuation transportation during hurricanes, wildfires, floods, earthquakes, and other disasters. No matter how big or small your group is, we can help you get to safety in no time.

Another benefit of renting a bus from us is that you get to customize your route and schedule according to your needs. Unlike other transportation providers that follow fixed routes and timetables, we allow you to choose your own pick-up and drop-off locations, as well as departure and arrival times. You can also make multiple stops along the way if needed. For example, if you’re evacuating from a wildfire zone in the Santa Cruz Mountains, we can pick up groups from Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond, and Felton before heading down Highway 17. Or if you’re coordinating a hospital relocation, we can run shuttles between Dominican Hospital, Watsonville Community Hospital, and pre-designated staging areas. Just let us know your itinerary and we’ll follow it exactly as planned. This gives you more flexibility and control over your transportation during an emergency.
