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.

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.
