With dispatchers available around the clock and vehicles stationed throughout Alameda, Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, and surrounding cities, we’re ready to respond whenever you need us. Call 341-234-4050 anytime to speak with our team and get immediate assistance.
Why Choose Alameda Coach Bus Service for Emergency Transportation?
Alameda Coach Bus Service has been providing reliable transportation solutions in Alameda County for years. We’ve helped local government agencies, school districts, hospitals, and businesses navigate some of the region’s toughest challenges—from wildfire evacuations in the Oakland Hills to earthquake response drills with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office. Our experience means we know how to operate under pressure, communicate effectively with emergency management teams, and adapt to rapidly changing conditions on the ground.
When you book with us, you’ll get access to one of the largest and most modern fleets in Northern California. We can send anything from a 56-passenger motorcoach with onboard restrooms and luggage bays to a 20-seat minibus that can maneuver through narrow residential streets in Alameda Point or Bay Farm Island. Need to move hundreds of people out of harm’s way? We’ll dispatch multiple vehicles and run continuous shuttle loops until everyone is safe. Looking for a smaller bus to transport essential workers between staging areas in Downtown Oakland or Jack London Square? We’ve got you covered.
Immediate Response Times Across Alameda County
In an emergency, every minute counts. That’s why Alameda Coach Bus Service offers some of the fastest response times in the industry. As soon as we receive your call, our dispatchers will begin coordinating with drivers and sending vehicles to your location. Depending on traffic and road conditions, we can have a bus on the ground anywhere in Alameda, Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, or San Leandro within hours—or even less if there’s a vehicle nearby.
We also understand that emergencies don’t always happen during business hours. Whether it’s a wildfire breaking out in the East Bay hills at midnight or a hazardous materials spill shutting down I-880 during rush hour, you can count on us to pick up the phone and mobilize resources whenever you need them. Our team is available 24/7/365 to answer questions, provide updates, and make sure your transportation needs are met.
Flexible Fleet Options for Any Situation
No two emergencies are exactly alike—which is why we offer such a wide range of vehicles to choose from. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses, minibuses, sprinter vans, and ADA-accessible options that can accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility devices. Each vehicle comes equipped with comfortable seating, climate control, and plenty of storage space for personal belongings or emergency supplies.
If you’re evacuating residents from a senior living facility in Harbor Bay Isle or Alameda Landing, we recommend booking a larger bus with reclining seats and onboard restrooms to make the journey as comfortable as possible. For transporting first responders or utility crews to staging areas in West Oakland or Fruitvale, a smaller minibus may be more practical. And if you need to set up a mobile command center or medical triage unit, we can customize a vehicle with tables, power outlets, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Coordinated Evacuation Planning and Support
Effective evacuation requires careful planning and coordination—and that’s where Alameda Coach Bus Service really shines. We’ll work closely with your incident command team to develop a transportation plan that meets your specific needs and integrates seamlessly with other response efforts. This includes identifying pickup and drop-off locations, establishing schedules and routes, and ensuring clear communication at every stage of the operation.
During the 2019 PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs, we assisted several East Bay cities with moving vulnerable populations to cooling centers and backup shelters. We’ve also participated in multi-agency disaster drills simulating mass evacuations from earthquake-damaged neighborhoods in Alameda and flood-prone areas along the San Leandro shoreline. Whatever scenario you’re facing, we have the expertise and resources to help you manage it.
Serving All of Alameda County and Beyond
Based in Alameda, Alameda Coach Bus Service proudly serves clients throughout the Bay Area—including Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, Piedmont, San Leandro, Hayward, Castro Valley, and unincorporated parts of Alameda County like Ashland and Cherryland. We can also deploy vehicles to neighboring counties such as Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Solano if additional support is needed.
Whether you’re evacuating residents from wildfire zones in the Berkeley Hills, transporting hospital staff during a BART shutdown, or relocating students after a gas leak at an East Bay school, we’re here to help. No job is too big or too small—and we treat every client with the same level of professionalism and respect.
Affordable Rates and Transparent Pricing
We know that budget constraints are always a concern—especially during an emergency. That’s why Alameda Coach Bus Service offers competitive rates and transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprises. When you request a quote, we’ll take into account factors like distance traveled, number of passengers, duration of service, and any special requirements you may have. We’ll then provide you with a clear, itemized estimate so you can make an informed decision.
In many cases, the cost of chartering a bus for evacuation or disaster response may be reimbursable through FEMA or other government programs. We’re happy to provide any documentation or support you need to facilitate the reimbursement process. Our goal is to make it as easy and affordable as possible for you to get the help you need when it matters most.
