Why Choose Durham Minibus Company for Emergency Bus Rentals in Durham?
When disaster strikes, you need a company you can trust to get the job done right. That’s why so many government agencies, hospitals, schools, and businesses choose Durham Minibus Company for their emergency transportation needs. We have over a decade of experience providing evacuation services across North Carolina, including major hurricanes like Florence (2018), Matthew (2016), Dorian (2019), and Isaias (2020). Our team knows how to coordinate large-scale movements under pressure and will work closely with your command center to execute your plan flawlessly. With one of the largest fleets in the state, we can dispatch multiple buses simultaneously to different locations such as Duke University Hospital, UNC Hospitals, WakeMed Raleigh Campus, Durham VA Medical Center, or local shelters like the Durham County Emergency Operations Center. We also offer statewide coverage, so no matter where your people are stranded—from downtown Durham to rural areas near Falls Lake, Eno River State Park, or Jordan Lake—we can reach them quickly.
Customizable Evacuation Plans for Any Situation
Every emergency is different, which is why we offer fully customizable evacuation plans tailored to your specific needs. Whether you need to evacuate a single building or an entire city, we can create a solution that works for you. Our team will work with you to determine the best pickup and drop-off locations, routes, and schedules based on real-time conditions. We can also provide ADA-accessible vehicles for passengers with disabilities and accommodate special requests such as transporting pets, medical equipment, or essential supplies. If you need to set up a temporary shuttle service between shelters, hospitals, and staging areas, we can do that too. Whatever it takes to keep your people safe and comfortable, we’ll make it happen.
Comfortable and Spacious Buses for Long-distance Travel
During an evacuation, your passengers may be on the road for several hours or even days. That’s why it’s important to choose a bus that offers plenty of space and amenities to keep everyone comfortable. Our full-size charter buses can seat up to 56 people and come equipped with reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and overhead storage racks. Passengers can stay connected with free Wi-Fi and power outlets at every seat, or relax and watch a movie on the flat-screen TVs with DVD players. Smaller groups may prefer a minibus, which can seat 18–35 people and offers many of the same features in a more compact package. Either way, your riders will appreciate having a clean, modern vehicle to ride out the storm.
Rapid Deployment Anywhere in North Carolina
When time is of the essence, you can count on Durham Minibus Company to deliver. We have dispatchers on call around the clock ready to send buses to your location at a moment’s notice. Our drivers are familiar with all major highways and back roads throughout North Carolina including I-85, I-40, US-70, NC-147 (Durham Freeway), and NC-54, so they can navigate through traffic jams, detours, and hazardous conditions safely. Once your group is aboard, we’ll transport them directly to their destination whether it’s another city within the state or an out-of-state shelter designated by FEMA or the Red Cross. Popular evacuation routes include trips from Durham to Charlotte, Asheville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Raleigh, Fayetteville, Greenville, Wilmington, or even across state lines to Virginia or South Carolina. If necessary, we can coordinate with law enforcement escorts for added security along the way.
Affordable Rates and Flexible Contracts
We understand that emergencies don’t always fit neatly into a budget, which is why we strive to offer competitive rates and flexible contracts for our clients. You can book a bus for as little as one day or as long as several weeks depending on the duration of the crisis. Discounts are available for multiple vehicles or extended rentals. If you require additional services such as pre-positioning assets before landfall or staging standby units during hurricane season, we can accommodate those requests as well. Just let us know what you need and we’ll provide a quote with no hidden fees or surcharges.
