What Are The Cheapest Vans To Insure?

Owning a van is not only practical, but for many self-employed workers it is an essential! Here, we take a look at the vans that are cheapest to insure to help save you a pretty penny…

Toyota Hilux

One of the most reliable pickups in recent years and one of the first pickup trucks to hit the market, the Hilux has found a new lease of life in recent years. Whilst it was originally used for a working van, with a 3.5 tonne towing ability and plenty of storage in the rear compartment, it has now been favoured also as a practical daily runner.

 With considerably lower insurance premiums than its rivals (especially considering it comes with a mighty 2.5 L diesel engine) this is a very sensible purchase.

VW Transporter

Unexpectedly making its way onto a “cheap to insure” list is this fantastic motor. It is a perfect choice for workmen and is designed with such an audience in mind, with a focus on enhanced safety features and a practical storage system.

As you would imagine from any VW motor, it drives like an absolute dream and the interior is cleverly designed, with easily accessible features and comfortable, supportive seats to make long-distance journeys a lot more pleasurable. 

Citroen Berlingo

Wining numerous awards, not least of all “Van of the Year” in 2019, this van comes in two designs. The “worker” is aimed at, unsurprisingly, people carrying equipment and tools and is a perfect choice for the self-employed tradesman. Fitted with grip control and hill descent assist this is a van that was built for heavy loads and drives very well in this respect. While it can be tempting to throw everything including the kitchen sink into this motor, it is cleverly fitted with an overload indicator to let you know if you have been slightly too optimistic!
