Double-Decker Bus Hire 

Promote with maximum impact using a double-decker bus, transformed inside and out for an  immersive campaign that’s long to be remembered.

Is turning heads important to you?  If so, look no further than double-decker bus hire. A world-famous London icon, this vehicle dominates the landscape wherever it goes, so it’s perfect for displaying high-impact visuals and setting your brand apart. 

Double-decker buses are the largest moving billboards around, but that’s just a part of what’s on offer. Inside, they can be fully transformed into experiential and immersive spaces, complete make-up stations, sampling stops and gaming areas. Full seating can also be installed, for when you need to take guests or influencers around town in style. 

Buses are often used as backdrops for photos and video reels, helping to build anticipation online. Big brands use them to showcase products, run PR stunts and spread awareness, while others take our open-top buses out on tours and parades. It’s all about what you need to excite guests and make your campaign memorable! 

With double-decker bus hire, you get more than just a branded vehicle. Our modern buses are Euro-6 compliant for low emissions, and all come with a driver, logistics and setup support.  

So, whether you’re planning a brand roadshow, an open-top parade or a lively music event, we have the very bus to bring your campaign to life.

Frequently asked questions

How many passengers can I have on the bus?

This depends on the interior usage and layout, if you wish to take non-paying passengers with the standard bus seating then max capacity is around 70 people.  

Our customisable buses, however, will be dependent on the number of alterations, decorations, and sampling areas you wish to include in your final build. We often provide buses with internal builds that allow for up to 15-20 people to interact with and move around the bus comfortably. 

What is the power set up?

This is totally dependent on the bus you’re hiring; standard passenger double decker buses don’t generally have additional power. However, we have bespoke buses that are used for product launches, sampling and live music events that come with various power options.   

Our double-decker buses for sampling events and roadshow campaigns are equipped with a single phase 32amp external hookup point. 

Does it come with interior facilities?

The interior facilities available is ultimately dependent on the scope of your campaign.   

If you’re looking for a standard passenger-based on-board activation, the interior facilities are as standard and have limited customisation. For example, we can change the seat coverings. 

However, if your planned campaign activity involves a bespoke non-passenger bus for giveaways and product launches, then we can tailor the facilities to your exact specification. 

Do you provide partial wrapping options?

As all the vehicles in our fleet are promotional vehicles that are constantly being wrapped in assorted designs, we only provide our vehicles fully wrapped.
