Why Choose Upland Coach Bus Service for Emergency Transportation?
We’ve been providing charter bus rentals for more than 15 years, and in that time, we’ve helped countless organizations respond to emergencies of all kinds. Our team is available 24/7/365 to dispatch vehicles anywhere in California at a moment’s notice. When you call us, you’ll get an experienced reservation specialist who can walk you through your options, provide an instant quote, and coordinate every detail of your emergency response plan. We understand how stressful these situations can be, which is why we make the transportation part as easy and straightforward as possible.
With Upland Coach Bus Service, you get access to one of the largest fleets in the state—over 5,000 vehicles statewide—including minibuses, sprinter vans, full-size charter buses, school buses, and even ADA-accessible coaches. We can accommodate groups of any size, from a handful of evacuees to thousands of displaced residents. And because we operate statewide, we can send vehicles to Upland, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Claremont, Pomona, Chino Hills, or any other city in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Riverside, or Orange County with very little notice.
Immediate Response and 24/7 Dispatch
When disaster strikes, you need a transportation partner who can respond immediately—any time of day or night. That’s why we offer 24/7 dispatch and support for all emergency and evacuation requests. As soon as you call, our team will begin working to secure the vehicles you need and deploy them to your location as quickly as possible. We can often have buses on the road within hours, depending on fleet availability and distance. During the 2020 wildfire season, we successfully evacuated hundreds of residents from threatened areas in San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and Los Angeles County, moving them to shelters in safer zones across the region. We’ve also supported emergency operations during mudslides, flash floods, and hazardous material incidents along the I-10, CA-210, and other major corridors.
Flexible Fleet Options for Any Situation
Every emergency is different, which is why we offer a wide range of vehicle types and sizes to suit your specific needs. Our fleet includes:
- Full-size charter buses (40-56 passengers): Ideal for moving large groups long distances. Features include reclining seats, restrooms, luggage bays, WiFi, power outlets, and climate control.
- Minibuses (18-35 passengers): Perfect for smaller groups or shuttling people between nearby locations. More maneuverable than full-size coaches but still comfortable and well-equipped.
- Sprinter vans (10-15 passengers): Great for quick response, medical transport, or reaching areas with limited access. Can be configured for seated passengers or stretcher space.
- School buses (44-72 passengers): High-capacity, cost-effective option for mass evacuation. Simple, durable, and available in large numbers.
- ADA-accessible buses: Equipped with wheelchair lifts/ramps, securement areas, and priority seating for riders with disabilities or mobility challenges.
All vehicles are operated by professional drivers with extensive training in safety, customer service, and emergency procedures. We can also provide onboard staff to assist with loading/unloading, passenger registration, or basic first aid if needed.

- Reclining seats: Provide a place to rest, relax, or sleep en route.
If you have specific requirements—such as space for stretchers, isolation of symptomatic individuals, or transport of pets/service animals—please let us know. We will do our best to accommodate any special needs or requests.
Experience With All Types of Emergencies
No two emergencies are exactly alike, but our experience covers just about every scenario imaginable. We’ve provided transportation support for:
- Wildfires: Rapid evacuation of residents from fire zones, relocation of firefighters, and shuttling of relief supplies to affected areas.
- Floods: Rescue of stranded individuals, movement of people away from rising waters, and transfer to temporary shelters on higher ground.
- Earthquakes: Extraction of survivors from damaged buildings, consolidation of displaced persons, and distribution of emergency rations/equipment.
- Hazmat incidents: Perimeter clearance around chemical spills, smoke plumes, or gas leaks; decontamination staging as directed by HAZMAT teams.
- Pandemics: Quarantine transport for exposed individuals, reduction of crowding on public transit, and dedicated shuttles for healthcare workers/hospital staff.
- Power outages: Relocation of vulnerable populations (elderly, disabled, medically dependent) to facilities with backup generators/critical infrastructure.
Whatever the crisis, we are ready to step up and deliver reliable transportation when it matters most.
