Our team is available 24/7/365 to answer your call, assess your needs, and send vehicles to your location anywhere in Waukegan, North Chicago, Zion, Gurnee, or the surrounding suburbs. We can often have a bus on the road within two hours of your initial call, making us one of the fastest and most responsive companies in the region.
We’ve assisted with evacuations during tornado warnings, provided shuttle service for displaced residents after apartment fires, and helped local businesses keep their operations running during Metra and Pace service disruptions. No matter what kind of crisis you’re dealing with, we’ll work quickly and efficiently to get people where they need to go—safely and securely.
Customizable Fleet Options for Every Situation
Every emergency is different, which is why we offer a wide range of vehicle types and sizes to suit your specific requirements. Our fleet includes 15-passenger minibuses for small groups, 25- to 35-passenger mid-size buses for medium-sized evacuations, and full-size 56-passenger charter buses for moving large numbers of people at once. We also have sprinter vans, school buses, and ADA-accessible vehicles equipped with wheelchair lifts and extra handrails.
All of our buses come with comfortable seating, climate control, overhead storage racks, and onboard restrooms (on larger models). If you need additional amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, or luggage bays for personal belongings, just let us know when you book. We can even arrange for multiple pickup points, staggered departure times, or continuous shuttle loops between shelters, hospitals, and emergency command centers.
Experience With All Types of Emergencies
No two emergencies are exactly alike, but our team has seen—and handled—them all. We’ve worked with local governments to evacuate flood-prone neighborhoods near the Des Plaines River, provided backup transportation for nursing homes during power outages, and helped coordinate large-scale responses to industrial accidents along the I-94 corridor.
In addition to natural disasters like storms and blizzards, we’re also prepared to assist during man-made crises such as chemical spills, active shooter situations, or civil unrest. Our drivers are trained to follow strict safety protocols, maintain clear communication with dispatchers, and adapt to rapidly changing conditions on the ground. When you partner with Waukegan Coach Bus Service, you’re getting a company that knows how to stay calm under pressure and get the job done right.
Affordable Rates and Transparent Pricing
We understand that budget constraints don’t disappear during an emergency. That’s why we offer competitive rates and transparent pricing on all of our charter bus rentals. When you request a quote, we’ll give you an exact price based on the size of the vehicle, the distance traveled, and the duration of the rental—no hidden fees or surprise charges.
If you’re working with FEMA, the Red Cross, or another relief organization, we can provide detailed invoices and documentation to help you secure reimbursement. We also offer discounted rates for long-term contracts or recurring shuttle service during extended recovery efforts. Our goal is to make sure you get the transportation you need without breaking the bank.
