Our fleet includes minibuses, sprinter vans, school buses, and full-size charter buses, so we can handle evacuations of any size, from small nursing homes in Bettendorf to large manufacturing plants in Eldridge.

We’ve supported emergency response efforts for every type of crisis Davenport faces: tornadoes, chemical fires, winter storms, and more. Our dispatchers are available 24/7/365 to deploy vehicles at a moment’s notice, and our drivers are trained to navigate blocked roads, detour routes, and high-stress situations. We can stage buses at designated evacuation points, transport first responders to disaster sites, or relocate vulnerable populations to shelters outside the danger zone. With Davenport Coach Bus Service, you get a local partner who understands the unique challenges of emergency management in Eastern Iowa.
Why Davenport Emergency Planners Choose Davenport Coach Bus Service
When you book with Davenport Coach Bus Service, you’re getting a partner with years of experience supporting emergency response efforts across Iowa and Illinois. We’ve worked with city governments, county emergency management agencies, hospitals, schools, and private companies to develop custom transportation plans for every type of crisis. Our team understands the importance of clear communication, rapid deployment, and flexible scheduling during an emergency. We’ll coordinate closely with your incident command structure to make sure every bus is in the right place at the right time.
We also offer some of the most competitive pricing and flexible contract options in the industry. You can reserve a single bus for a few hours or book an entire fleet for days or weeks at a time. Need to stage vehicles on standby while a storm front moves through? No problem. Have to evacuate hundreds of residents from multiple pickup points across Scott County? We’ve got it covered. Whatever your needs, we’ll build a solution that fits your budget and timeline.
Immediate Dispatch and 24/7 Availability
Disasters don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Davenport Coach Bus Service operates a 24/7 dispatch center that can mobilize vehicles anywhere in Davenport or Scott County within hours. As soon as you call, our team will start coordinating routes, staging areas, and pickup locations based on your specific needs. We can send updates via phone, email, or text message to keep your command staff informed every step of the way.
Our drivers are trained to handle high-pressure situations and follow instructions from law enforcement or emergency managers. They know how to navigate around road closures, flooded streets, and other hazards common during Midwest storms. If your primary evacuation route becomes impassable, we’ll find an alternate path to get everyone out safely.
Evacuation Services for Any Situation
No two emergencies are exactly alike, which is why we offer fully customizable evacuation services. Whether you need to move a handful of nursing home residents to higher ground or relocate thousands of people from downtown Davenport to shelters in Bettendorf or Moline, we have the resources to make it happen. Our fleet includes minibuses (18-25 passengers), sprinter vans (10-15 passengers), school buses (up to 47 passengers), and full-size charter buses (up to 56 passengers) so you can mix and match based on capacity requirements and road conditions.
We can pick up evacuees at pre-designated assembly points, drive them directly to shelters or transfer hubs, and even provide onboard amenities like restrooms, climate control, and Wi-Fi if requested. For long-distance evacuations—such as moving people out of state ahead of a major flood—we’ll assign multiple drivers per bus to minimize rest stops and keep convoys moving.
Support for First Responders and Essential Workers
During a crisis, it’s critical that first responders and essential workers can get to where they’re needed most. Davenport Coach Bus Service provides dedicated shuttle services to transport police officers, firefighters, EMTs, utility crews, and medical personnel between staging areas, incident sites, and command centers. If your team is working 12-hour shifts around the clock, we’ll run continuous loops so no one gets stranded.
We also assist with moving hospital staff, grocery store employees, and other key workers who may be cut off from normal commuting options due to road closures or suspended public transit. By keeping these vital personnel mobile, we help maintain order and accelerate recovery efforts across the community.
Flexible Contracts and Rapid Deployment
In an emergency, you need a transportation provider who can adapt to changing circumstances without missing a beat. That’s why we offer flexible contracts that allow you to scale service levels up or down as the situation evolves. You can add extra buses on short notice, extend operating hours, or shift resources between different zones based on real-time needs assessments.
Our rapid deployment model ensures that backup vehicles are always available in case of mechanical issues or unexpected surges in demand. We pre-position assets at strategic locations throughout the Quad Cities area so they can be dispatched immediately when called upon. This level of preparedness gives our clients peace of mind knowing they have a reliable partner ready to respond at a moment’s notice.
