Accessible Vehicle Hire

A huge success story for Mercedes, the Sprinter is deservedly one of the most popular vans on the road, noted for its reliability and high-quality engineering. Working in close partnership with our vehicle converters we have specified a conversion that eliminates the problem of the intrusion of wheel arches into the passenger area - a long-standing issue for those who travel in and operate van-conversion vehicles. Our Accessible Sprinters have barely an inch of wheel arch showing in the passenger compartment.

Careful choice of seats has made inroads into one of the other characteristics of older van-conversions, namely a narrow aisle width. Our Sprinter conversion provides a more useable aisle than has been previously achieved.

With a choice of front or side entry and ‘fold-flat' rear doors the Sprinter remains the choice of accessible vehicle for many of our clients.

THE NEW 14-17 SEAT VW CRAFTER

The award winning Crafter from Volkswagen provides a solid and dependable base for this high-quality accessible conversion with a host of new features including all new 5 cylinder engines combined with the Shiftmatic automatic gearbox offering increased power yet greater economy.

By choosing the high-roof version for this conversion, passenger comfort is increased as this allows for full head height throughout, most importantly over the steps of the new extra wide side entrance.

With an exterior under-floor tail-lift to maximise the utilisation of the interior space, a fully tracked floor with no intrusive wheel arches and a full range of accessible features, the Crafter provides a high-quality solution to accessible transport needs.

And it is comforting to know that should any problems arise the London Hire Service and Support is there with a 24hr 365 day breakdown service and a replacement vehicle if repair is not immediately possible.
