Our fleet includes minibuses, sprinter vans, school buses, and full-size charter buses that can be deployed 24/7/365 to move large groups of people quickly and efficiently—whether you need to evacuate residents from the Bosque, relocate patients between hospitals, or shuttle essential workers during a Rail Runner Express shutdown.

Why Albuquerque Coach Bus Service?
When you book with Albuquerque Coach Bus Service, you’re getting the most reliable and responsive team in the business. We operate one of the largest fleets in New Mexico, with vehicles stationed in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Roswell, Farmington, and Clovis. That means we can send a bus to your location faster than anyone else—often within two hours of your call. Our reservation specialists are available 24/7/365 to answer questions, provide updates, and coordinate logistics with your command center. We’ve handled emergency deployments for organizations like Presbyterian Hospital, UNM Health, PNM, Sandia National Laboratories, and the City of Albuquerque Office of Emergency Management, so we know how to work under pressure and follow strict protocols.
Flexible Fleet Options for Any Situation
Our fleet includes minibuses (18–35 passengers), sprinter vans (10–15 passengers), school buses (44–47 passengers), and full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) from top manufacturers like MCI, Van Hool, Prevost, Temsa, Grech, and Turtle Top. All vehicles come with comfortable seats, climate control, luggage storage, and PA systems for making announcements. If you need to transport people with limited mobility, we can send an ADA-accessible bus with a wheelchair lift and securement areas. For long-distance evacuations, choose a charter bus with reclining seats, restrooms, power outlets, and Wi-Fi so riders can stay connected and comfortable for hours. We can also provide “bare-bones” commuter coaches for high-capacity shuttling or smaller cutaway buses for navigating narrow streets in neighborhoods like Nob Hill or Barelas.
Rapid Response for Evacuations and Displacement
When disaster strikes, every minute counts. That’s why we offer rapid response services to evacuate residents, hotel guests, nursing home patients, or college students from danger zones to designated shelters or staging areas. Whether you’re dealing with a wildfire in the East Mountains, a chemical spill near the Rio Grande, or a flash flood in the South Valley, we can dispatch multiple buses at once to move hundreds of people out of harm’s way. We’ve assisted with mass evacuations during fire season, helped relocate vulnerable populations during extreme heat waves, and supported search-and-rescue operations by transporting first responders to remote locations. If your primary evacuation routes are blocked, we’ll work with local law enforcement to find alternate paths and keep the convoy moving.
Shuttle Services During Public Transit Disruptions
Albuquerque relies on ABQ RIDE buses and the Rail Runner Express commuter train to keep the city moving—but what happens when those services are interrupted? We can provide replacement shuttles to bridge the gap and ensure essential workers can still get to their jobs. If a crash shuts down Central Avenue BRT, we’ll run continuous loops between Uptown, Downtown, and West Mesa until regular service resumes. If a derailment strands commuters in Los Lunas or Belen, we’ll send coaches to bring them back to the city. We’ve also worked with APS and CNM to transport students during school bus shortages or campus closures. Our team will coordinate schedules, pick-up points, and drop-off zones to minimize confusion and keep people moving.
Long-term Contracts for Disaster Recovery
Some emergencies don’t resolve overnight. If your organization needs ongoing transportation support during a prolonged crisis, we offer long-term contracts at discounted rates. This is ideal for agencies managing hurricane recovery, wildfire containment, or pandemic response efforts that require weeks or months of sustained operations. We can station buses on standby at your command post, run daily shuttles between hotels and work sites, or escort convoys of utility repair crews into restricted areas. Our dispatchers will integrate with your incident management team to provide real-time updates and adapt to changing conditions. We’ve supported multi-week deployments for FEMA contractors, Red Cross volunteers, and National Guard units across the Southwest.
Custom Solutions for Any Emergency
No two emergencies are exactly alike—which is why we offer custom solutions tailored to your specific needs. Need to evacuate pets along with their owners? We’ll send a bus with extra space for crates and carriers. Need to transport medical staff between hospitals during a surge? We’ll set up dedicated routes with flexible schedules. Need to stage buses as mobile warming centers during a winter blackout? We’ll keep the engines running and the heaters on. We can also provide amenities like bottled water, first aid kits, phone chargers, and signage upon request. If you have special requirements—such as language interpreters, security escorts, or coordination with tribal authorities—we’ll do our best to accommodate them.
