Our customer service team is available 24/7 to answer your call, understand your needs, and dispatch a bus anywhere in Santa Barbara County within hours.

Fast Response Times Across Santa Barbara County
We know that every minute counts during an emergency. That’s why we offer some of the fastest response times in the industry. As soon as you contact us, we’ll start working on your request right away. We can send buses to any location in Santa Barbara County, including Goleta, Carpinteria, Montecito, Isla Vista, Summerland, and Lompoc. If you need to evacuate people out of the area, we can take them to shelters or hotels in Ventura, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, Los Angeles, or even farther if needed. We also provide return trips once it’s safe to come back.
A Fleet That Can Handle Any Situation
Our fleet includes vehicles of all sizes so we can accommodate groups of any size. For large-scale evacuations, we recommend booking a 56-passenger charter bus because it has enough room for dozens of people plus luggage or equipment. These buses also come with restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats for long-distance trips. Smaller groups may prefer a minibus that seats 18 to 35 passengers and offers many of the same amenities. If you’re not sure what type of bus you need, just ask—we’ll help you choose the best option based on your headcount and destination.
Custom Schedules and Routes
Every emergency is different, which is why we offer fully customized transportation plans tailored to your specific needs. You tell us where you need to go and when, and we’ll make it happen. We can run continuous shuttles between multiple sites, pick up people from hard-to-reach areas, or stay on standby until further notice. During the 2018 Montecito mudslides, we helped evacuate residents from blocked neighborhoods and brought them to safety. We’ve also assisted with wildfire evacuations in Mission Canyon, Painted Cave, and other high-risk zones. Whatever challenge you’re facing, we’ll get you a solution.
Comfortable Buses With Storage Space
In an emergency, it’s important to keep everyone comfortable and calm. Our buses are equipped with cushioned seats, air conditioning, heating, and PA systems for announcements. There’s plenty of storage space under the bus and in overhead racks for suitcases, backpacks, medical supplies, pet carriers, or anything else people need to bring. If you have special requirements such as ADA-accessible vehicles or extra baggage capacity, please let us know when you book.
