We offer a wide range of vehicles to suit any emergency transportation need. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (56 passengers), mid-size minibuses (18-35 passengers), sprinter vans (10-15 passengers), and ADA-accessible options with wheelchair lifts.

Custom Plans for Any Situation

Every emergency is different—which is why we offer fully customizable transportation solutions tailored to your specific needs. We can help you develop evacuation plans before disaster strikes, including staging locations, pickup/drop-off points, and communication protocols. During an active crisis, we’ll work closely with your team to adapt to changing conditions on the ground. Need multiple trips to clear out a hospital or nursing home? Done. Require standby buses positioned at key sites like UF Health Shands Hospital, North Florida Regional Medical Center, or the Alachua County Fairgrounds ready to deploy at a moment’s notice? We’ve got it covered. From single-bus charters to multi-vehicle convoys moving thousands of people, there’s no job too big or too small for us to handle.
