Immediate Response for Any Situation
Emergencies don’t wait—and neither do we. As soon as you call, our team will start working to find you a bus as quickly as possible. We can dispatch vehicles in under an hour, depending on availability and location. Our fleet includes minibuses that can navigate narrow streets in German Village or Victorian Village, sprinter vans for small groups or last-mile connections to COTA stops, and full-size charter buses that can carry up to 56 passengers with luggage. Need multiple buses? No problem. We can send as many as you need to staging areas like Huntington Park, the Ohio State Fairgrounds, or the John Glenn Columbus International Airport.
We’ve supported evacuation efforts during hurricanes along the Ohio River, wildfires near Hocking Hills, and hazardous material spills on I-70 and I-71. We’ve also provided shuttle services for first responders, utility workers, and volunteers working long shifts in challenging conditions. Whatever the crisis, we’ll make sure you have the transportation resources you need to keep people safe and operations running smoothly.
Flexible Scheduling and Routing
No two emergencies are exactly alike—which is why we offer fully customizable schedules and routes. You tell us where you need to go, and we’ll make it happen. Buses can operate 24/7, making continuous loops between evacuation sites, shelters, hospitals like OhioHealth Riverside Methodist or Mount Carmel East, or command centers in downtown Columbus or suburban municipalities like Westerville and Reynoldsburg. If roads are closed or conditions change, we’ll work with local authorities to find alternate paths and keep your people moving.
Need to transport evacuees from multiple pick-up points in Linden or Franklinton to a central shelter in Newark or Lancaster? We can coordinate staggered departures and arrivals to avoid bottlenecks. Want to stage buses outside a high-risk area for rapid extraction, such as near the Short North or Brewery District? We’ll position them where they’ll do the most good. With Columbus Coach Bus Service, you’re always in control of the plan.
Comfortable, Climate-controlled Vehicles
During an emergency, comfort matters. That’s why all our buses are equipped with climate control to keep passengers cool in summer heatwaves or warm during winter storms. Onboard amenities include reclining seats, overhead storage for bags or medical supplies, and restrooms on larger models—especially useful when other facilities are inaccessible. Staying connected is critical, so many of our vehicles offer Wi-Fi and power outlets for charging phones, coordinating via email, or accessing real-time updates from the Ohio Department of Transportation or local news sources.
If you have specific needs—such as space for stretchers, wheelchair lifts for ADA compliance, or extra cargo capacity for pet carriers—we’ll match you with a vehicle that fits the bill. We understand that some evacuees may have limited mobility, medical conditions, or other vulnerabilities, and we’ll do everything possible to accommodate them.

Columbus Coach Bus Service serves the entire state of Ohio, including major cities like Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, and Akron.

Our network extends across county lines and municipal boundaries, making us a valuable asset for regional coordination and mutual aid.
We’ve worked with partners in every sector, from state agencies like the Ohio Emergency Management Agency to non-profits such as the Red Cross.
