Civilised Car Hire welcomes new Renault Masters to their fleet

We have proudly been working with Civilised Car Hire for almost 15 years and during this time we have continually supplied them with a variety of different bespoke conversions. The latest collection of tour buses to join Civilised’s fleet are based on Renault Master LM 35 DCI’s, starting with three of their trusted 9-seat forward-facing ‘M9’ conversions.

Take a look around the first of Civilised’s new tour buses on our YouTube channel now!

Durable design

Once leaving us, each conversion is immediately put to work and is available to hire. Because of this it is highly important that we incorporate a number of hard-wearing materials into their designs to create a durable and professional looking fleet.

Flawless features

Civilised’s tour buses all feature a range of entertainment options and their latest Renault Master’s are no exception! Each ‘M9’ conversion features a variety of options to keep passengers entertained.

Sufficient storage space

This bespoke ‘M9’ conversion specification features a large storage area in the rear to transport important production equipment. This space also includes a roof-mounted clothing rail, LED lighting and securing rings to help safely fasten equipment.

A brand-new minibus for a SEN school in West London

This month, we had the pleasure of converting a brand-new minibus for a Special Education Needs (SEN) school based in West London.

To help give students the opportunity to experience a variety of different events, the school were in need of a custom-built accessible minibus. The school supports a range of children and young adults, aged between 3 and 19, with severe learning difficulties and their new accessible minibus will allow all of their students, including those using wheelchairs, to enjoy day trips, sporting events and much more.
