Move Any Group Fast With Flexible Fleet Options

No two emergencies are alike—and neither are the transportation solutions. That’s why Rancho Santa Margarita Charter Bus offers one of the most versatile fleets in Southern California, including 18-, 20-, 25-, 28-, 35-, 40-, 47-, 50-, and 56-passenger buses available by the hour, day, or week. Need to evacuate a neighborhood near O’Neill Regional Park ahead of a wildfire? We’ll send multiple full-size coaches to move everyone at once. Have a smaller group of hospital staff or assisted living residents who can’t sit together? Book a minibus that seats 18–35 and keeps your team cohesive.

All vehicles come with forward-facing seats, room for carry-on bags, and optional luggage storage below. Select models include reclining seats, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and USB outlets—because comfort still matters when people are scared and tired. You set the schedule, choose the pickup points, and decide where each bus goes. This is private, contract-based service—not a public evacuation route—so you stay in control from start to finish.

Keep People Safe, Calm, and Accounted For

Moving people out of harm’s way is only part of the job—you also have to keep them safe during transit. A charter bus keeps your entire group together in a single vehicle, reducing the risk of lost contact or missed turns on unfamiliar roads. Onboard amenities like air conditioning, reclining seats, and restrooms help passengers stay calm during long delays or detours. If you’re running a multi-bus operation, our dispatchers coordinate departures and arrivals to prevent bottlenecks at staging areas like the Bell Tower Community Center or local school campuses. Need to track headcounts or assign seats by family unit? We’ll help you implement a manifest system that fits your protocol.

For return trips after the all-clear, we offer standby contracts that hold vehicles nearby until residents can go home. It’s a level of accountability you won’t get from ad hoc volunteer shuttles or improvised carpools.

Serve Every Client: Schools, Hospitals, Businesses, and More

Rancho Santa Margarita Charter Bus works with every type of organization that needs emergency transportation—not just government agencies. School districts rely on us to relocate students from campuses near fire zones or flooded creeks, with room for teachers and support staff on the same bus. Hospitals and clinics use our largest buses to transfer patients between facilities, while non-ambulatory cases ride with caregivers in specially equipped seats. Assisted living centers book minibuses for elderly residents who need extra time boarding and disembarking.

We also serve private-sector clients like office parks, retail stores, and construction sites that must evacuate employees under Cal/OSHA rules. Even homeowner associations and faith groups have chartered buses through us when their members lacked personal vehicles. If you have people to move, we have a vehicle that fits their needs.

Stay Ready With 24/7 Dispatch and Rapid Response

Emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Rancho Santa Margarita Charter Bus operates a 24/7 dispatch center that answers calls anytime—nights, weekends, and holidays included. When you request an emergency charter, our team mobilizes immediately to find available vehicles, assign drivers, and map out the fastest route to your location. Most bookings can be fulfilled within hours of confirmation, depending on road conditions and demand.

During regional disasters that affect multiple cities, we prioritize contracts based on urgency and pre-existing agreements but always strive to accommodate new requests. Once your bus is en route, you’ll receive real-time updates on its estimated arrival and progress along the evacuation corridor. Communication lines stay open until every passenger reaches a designated shelter or rendezvous point outside the danger zone.

Get Back Home With Post-emergency Reentry Shuttles

Evacuation is only the first half of the process—eventually, residents and workers need to return once authorities declare it safe. Rancho Santa Margarita Charter Bus offers reentry shuttle services that operate on the same principle as outbound trips: scheduled departures, group seating, and customizable drop-off locations. As neighborhoods reopen in phases, we coordinate with local officials to stage buses at central hubs like the Rancho Santa Margarita City Hall or Target shopping center. Passengers board according to their assigned zone and travel together past checkpoints without clogging the roads with individual cars.

This system not only speeds up the repopulation timeline but also ensures that vulnerable populations—such as those without access to private transportation—are not left behind during the transition back to normalcy.
