We operate 24/7/365 because we know disasters don’t wait for business hours. Our fleet includes vehicles of every size—from 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger minibuses to 40-, 47-, 56-, and 60+ seater full-size buses—so we can handle everything from small-group shuttles to large-scale evacuations.

Private Evacuation Shuttles for Families and Businesses
Need to get your family or employees out of Oxford fast? Book a private evacuation shuttle with Oxford Coach Bus Service and travel together in one vehicle. Unlike public evacuation buses that run on fixed schedules and make multiple stops, our service is fully customizable—you choose the pickup location, departure time, and destination. We can pick up groups anywhere in Oxford, including residential neighborhoods, apartment complexes near the University of Mississippi campus, office buildings downtown, or industrial sites along MS-7 and US-278. Popular evacuation destinations include hotels and shelters in Tupelo, Jackson, Memphis, and Birmingham. If you have pets, luggage, or valuable equipment, there’s room onboard to bring them along.
Disaster Relief Transportation for First Responders and Volunteers
After the storm passes, the hard work begins. Oxford Coach Bus Service provides disaster relief transportation for first responders, utility crews, and volunteers heading into affected areas. We’ve worked with organizations like FEMA, the Red Cross, and local fire departments to coordinate shuttles to disaster zones across Mississippi. Our buses can operate on tight schedules and navigate difficult road conditions to reach staging areas, command centers, and work sites. While minibuses and sprinter vans are great for moving small teams between locations, larger buses can be used as mobile bunkhouses or break rooms with reclining seats and climate control. When roads are flooded or blocked by debris, having a professional driver behind the wheel makes all the difference.
Evacuation Planning for Hurricanes, Floods, and Tornadoes
Oxford may be located inland, but that doesn’t mean we’re immune to severe weather. Hurricanes like Katrina and Ida have brought devastating winds and rainfall hundreds of miles from the coast, while flash floods and tornadoes pose a constant threat during storm season. When local officials issue an evacuation order, there’s no time to waste—everyone hits the road at once, leading to gridlock on highways like I-55 and I-22. The only way to beat the traffic is by leaving early and traveling in a single vehicle. A charter bus rental can carry up to 56 passengers plus their belongings, reducing the number of cars on the road and ensuring no one gets left behind. Smaller groups can book a minibus with room for 18–35 seats without sacrificing comfort.
Long-distance Evacuations to Memphis, Birmingham, and Beyond
Sometimes the nearest shelter isn’t close enough. During major disasters, evacuees may need to travel hundreds of miles to find safety. Oxford Coach Bus Service specializes in long-distance transportation from Oxford to cities across the region, including Memphis (90 miles), Birmingham (150 miles), Jackson (160 miles), and Little Rock (200 miles). Our buses are built for comfort on extended trips, with reclining seats, restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and luggage storage. Passengers can stay connected with family, track the latest news, or simply relax while our drivers handle the journey. We also offer point-to-point service to airports, train stations, and designated shelter locations. No matter how far you need to go, we’ll get you there.
School and University Evacuation Services
When it comes to protecting students, there’s no room for error. Oxford Coach Bus Service provides evacuation services for schools and universities in Oxford, including the University of Mississippi campus. We work with administrators to develop custom transportation plans that move students, faculty, and staff to designated shelters before a storm hits. Buses can be staged on campus for rapid deployment and loaded according to pre-assigned seating charts. In the event of dormitory closures or campus lockdowns, we offer temporary housing shuttles to nearby hotels and conference centers. Our experience with large-group logistics ensures a smooth operation from start to finish.
