There are many different types of commercial vehicles on the road. When you are looking to buy one there are many considerations you will need to make. Your choice could have a huge bearing on how much you have to pay for your van insurance.

Before you make the decision to buy, consider the following:

Is the van the right size for my needs? A larger van may mean that you can potentially carry more things, but generally the larger the van, the larger the van insurance quote.

Do I need a specialist type of vehicle? Your work may require you to carry frozen food or transport large loads of sand or aggregate. If this is the case, then probably a standard van would not be the right choice for you. Use the guide that follows to try and make the correct choice, but remember that the more specialist the vehicle, the more specialist the van insurance policy you may need to cover it.

Once you have decided on the type of vehicle, your next consideration should be what make and model are you going to go for? The majority of car manufacturers in the UK also make commercial vehicles. Most of these vehicles can be grouped together by size and as a result you will find that van insurance quotes for similar size vehicles will generally be the same regardless of manufacturer.

Citroen Van Insurance

Citroen manufacture a range of 4 different vans of different sizes. The smallest of the range is the C2 Commerce. It is based on the C2 hatchback and is a nimble little van with a fairly small load area. Moving up a size is the Berlingo. This is a very versatile van and load capacity is greatly enhanced by it having a higher roof than most car derived vans. Van insurance for this type of vehicle may be cheaper than for the rest of the vans in the Citroen range.

Citroen produce two large models. The first is the Dispatch which is roughly the same size as a Transit Connect. It again benefits from a good engine and has a payload size that would make it ideal for most tradesmen.

The biggest model is the Relay. This van can swallow up a huge payload and is becoming a favourite with people needing to transport large quantities of goods or equipment. Both the Relay and the Despatch tend to be more expensive when it comes to finding a van insurance quote as they are a lot larger.
