Why Choose Sarasota Charter Bus for Emergency Transportation in Sarasota?
When everything goes wrong, we make sure your transportation goes right. Sarasota Charter Bus has handled evacuation and relief operations for hurricanes, wildfires, chemical spills, and power outages across Florida—including major events like Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Ian. We operate 24/7 because disasters don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our call center never closes, our dispatch runs around the clock, and we always have vehicles on standby ready to move at a moment’s notice. From downtown high-rises to barrier island neighborhoods, we’ve seen it all and know how to get people out quickly.
Full-fleet Availability: 18-, 20-, 28-, 35-, 40-, 56-, 60-, and 80-passenger Buses Ready to Roll
When you book with Sarasota Charter Bus, you get access to the largest and most versatile fleet of buses in the region—because every evacuation is different, and one size does not fit all. We offer multiple sizes of charter buses including 18-, 20-, 28-, 35-, 40-, 56-, 60-, and even 80-passenger double-decker models, so you can move exactly as many people as you need in the fewest possible trips. Smaller vehicles are perfect for navigating tight residential streets or running shuttle loops between shelters, while larger coaches maximize capacity on long-distance evacuations up I-75 or across the Skyway Bridge. Whatever the plan calls for, we have a vehicle that fits—and if you need multiple sizes, we’ll build a custom package that gets everyone out fast.
Fast Dispatch Times and 24/7 Support—because Disasters Don’t Wait
Emergencies don’t happen on a schedule, which is why Sarasota Charter Bus operates on-call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. When you contact us for emergency transportation, you’re getting a company that answers the phone at midnight, processes orders on Sunday, and moves vehicles whenever and wherever they’re needed. Our dispatch system is built for rapid response, with live tracking of every bus and constant communication between drivers, coordinators, and clients. If there’s a change in the evacuation route, a new shelter opens up, or a road gets flooded, we adjust in real time and keep the operation moving. From the first call to the final drop-off, you’ll have a dedicated point of contact making sure things run smoothly. In a crisis, seconds count—so we act like it.
Custom Routing and Scheduling for Any Scenario
No two emergencies are alike, which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Sarasota Charter Bus works with each client to develop custom routes and schedules tailored to the specific needs of the situation. Need to run a continuous loop between a flooded neighborhood and a temporary shelter? Evacuating an entire nursing home to a facility two hours inland? Shuttling relief workers from the airport to a staging area? We’ll map out the most efficient plan, taking into account traffic conditions, road closures, and any special requirements. Our goal is to move as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time, while keeping everyone comfortable and informed along the way.
Comfortable, Modern Buses With Room for People and Supplies
In an emergency, having the right equipment makes all the difference. Sarasota Charter Bus operates a fleet of modern buses and motorcoaches with seating capacities ranging from 18 to 80 passengers. Our larger buses feature forward-facing seats, overhead storage racks, underfloor luggage compartments, and onboard restrooms—ideal for long-distance evacuations up I-75 to Tampa or Fort Myers. Smaller minibuses offer quick loading and maneuverability on narrow streets, perfect for local shuttles between shelters and hospitals. Additional amenities like reclining seats, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and power outlets help passengers stay comfortable during stressful situations. There’s ample room to store personal belongings, medical equipment, or emergency supplies.
Proudly Serving Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, North Port, and Beyond
Sarasota Charter Bus provides emergency bus rentals throughout Sarasota County and the greater Suncoast region, including Bradenton, Venice, North Port, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, and Englewood. We also serve neighboring communities in Manatee and Charlotte counties. Recent projects include hurricane evacuations from barrier islands, wildfire response in rural areas, and COVID-19 transportation for healthcare workers. No matter where you’re located, we’ll get a bus to your location quickly and keep you moving until the crisis is over.
