VAN BUYERS GUIDE

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.

Isuzu Van Insurance

Isuzu manufacture the Rodeo range of pick-ups. Currently they have three different models of their Rodeo Denver available.  The base model Denver is a basic pick-up, but is sturdy enough to deal with anything a building site can throw at it. The Denver Max is more towards the lifestyle pick-up end of the scale with increased comfort and equipment levels for the driver and passengers in it’s double cab. The top of the range model is the Denver Max LE. This model benefits from an even more plush interior that can include leather seats and enhanced audio equipment.

All of the models perform very well in economy tests and also have been proven to be a class leader in the field of emissions. One other thing to consider is that the Denver is able to tow more than other vehicles in it’s class due to the power of the Isuzu engine.

As with a lot of pick ups, you may find it harder to obtain a commercial vehicle insurance quote for any of the Isuzu range. The pick ups, especially the lifestyle pick ups do have a smaller number of insurers able to cover them and therefore the price may be higher than for a van of similar size.
