Vans

Compact or large van?

The easiest way to start choosing a van is to consider how much space your business actually needs.

The Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Rifter are compact vans that are easy to use in the city and in busy traffic. They are well suited to businesses whose employees travel between different job sites during the day and need to carry tools, smaller goods or other equipment.

The Citroën Jumper and Peugeot Boxer offer considerably more cargo space. They are designed for businesses that need to transport larger goods, materials, equipment or larger quantities of supplies.

Our experts recommend starting by looking at how your business actually operates. If you only occasionally need the capacity of a larger van, a more compact model may be more practical for everyday use. If you regularly find yourself running out of space, however, it is worth choosing a larger van from the start.

Which businesses are vans suitable for?

Vans are used in many different ways. The same model may be the ideal work vehicle for one business but too small for another.

A van can be particularly useful for:

• construction and renovation companies
• companies providing maintenance and installation services
• logistics and transport companies
• sales and service businesses
• companies whose employees travel between different job sites every day
• businesses that regularly need to transport tools, equipment or goods

If a van is an essential part of your business operations, it is worth considering not only the vehicle itself but also how much time and money you spend managing it.

What should you consider before choosing a van?

Before choosing a van, it is worth answering a few simple questions:

What will the van be used to transport?
Will you mainly carry tools and smaller goods, or larger materials and equipment?

How much will the van be driven?
Will it mainly be used in the city, or will it regularly cover long distances?

How much time is spent managing the vehicles?
Does your business have someone responsible for arranging maintenance, tyres, insurance and other vehicle-related tasks?

Does the van need to be available at all times?
If your business depends on a specific vehicle, it is also important to consider maintenance requirements and the possible need for a replacement vehicle.

These questions can help you decide which van and which rental solution are actually right for your business.

Diesel or electric van?

When it comes to vans, one powertrain is not always better than another. The right choice depends on where and how much your business drives.

A diesel van can be a practical choice if the annual mileage is high and the work involves frequent long-distance journeys.

An electric van can be a good solution for a business whose journeys mainly take place in the city and follow regular routes, especially if convenient charging is available.

When choosing an electric van, we therefore recommend considering not only its driving range but also your business’s actual driving patterns and charging options.
