What Is the Right Type of Van for Me?

Have you started up your own business? Or maybe your business is expanding? Or maybe you just fancy a brand new van! Regardless of your situation, choosing the right vehicle for your requirements is important.

You will need to get the right van with the right type of equipment and everything else. So how do you get to this decision? We have created this handy guide to help you through the decision-making process. Read on to discover more!

What is your payload? 

Think about your specific daily business requirements. This is going to be the main factor that will determine what is the right van for you.  If you're transporting items from your business site, you have to consider the overall size, the weight and volume of your typical load to figure out the appropriate payload of your van.

How many seats do you require? 

Another key thing to consider is the amount of passengers you will need to cater for. You might need a row of seats in the van if your business involves teams, or if you are going to be using the van for recreational purposes and running errands during evenings or weekends. 

And of course you’re going to want to think about comfort too! If you’re going to spend all day in the van then it is certainly worth investing in a higher trim level for some additional comfort.

What access do you need?

Are there any access restrictions in the area you work in you need to think about? As well as this do you have any mobility requirements that you need to consider in order for you to comfortably use your van. City vans with dual sliding doors that permit for curbside loading are often a popular choice for convenience and ease!

What type of journeys will you be making? 

It's also crucial that you consider the types of journeys you'll need to carry out. Shorter journeys in urban areas put different demands on a van than longer motorway trips.

• Where will the load be taken to?
• Will the van frequently be at full capacity?
• How frequently will you be using the van?

We hope this guide will make your decision making process a little easier and help you find the right van for you.
