Corporate Hires

What better way to promote your business or corporate event then with an instantly recognisable symbol of the best of Great Britain and London, loved and we’ll known throughout the world.
 

Our buses can display your message in fixed adverts, removable banners or bespoke destination displays.  It is even possible to have a bus completely wrapped to your design.  They can be used as static display vehicles or as a stylish form of transport.

 

You can hire a classic Routemaster or coach to transport your guests or employees for a day out or to and from events, with the option of refreshments served on route.  We have successfully utilised 25 Routemaster buses for a single transfer of business guests across London.

 

Alpha Bus will provide you with all the help you need to plan your transport and promotional needs.  We are able to draw upon a vast resource of Routemaster buses and other heritage vehicles.  Please talk to us to discuss your requirements.

Those of us charged with organising the successful staging of the World Grand Masters Hockey Cup in Oxford in August owe a huge thanks to all those at Alphbus who helped make it happen. The Organising Committee could not have wished for a more friendly and hardworking group from Alphabus - many many thanks. I'm just sorry that the presures on me at the ground meant I did not experience the bus as much as I would have wished, but it was very popular and caught the mood of the Tournament perfectly.............Sincerely Richardon behalf of the World Cup Organising Committee

"What a fantastic day we had! You and Chris made it a happy and memorable day, not just for the birthday girl, but for all of us. Your time-keeping and service was impeccable, and all done with such a wide, welcoming smile. We appreciated your thorough preparation, especially the effort to test out the route personally. To top it all off, you provided a beautiful and well-cared-for bus that caught the attention of London. Needless to say if we ever need to do the same again (I certainly hope so!) we will be in touch with you. Meanwhile you can be sure that we will be recommending you to everyone!So… a BIG thank you to you from all of us, and to Chris who was charming behind the wheel. Kind regards, Ashlin & Antoine
