Having a courier van is essential if you want to work as a courier. There are only so many items you can fit in your car, and having your own van is especially important if you are self-employed.

Below are five vans that we think are great for couriers, as well as how you can ensure that you find the most appropriate courier insurance policy to suit your needs.

Ford Transit

It’s a classic for a reason. The Ford Transit is a reliable industry standard and great for those moving large items. Your classic white van is capable of shifting most items and is well-known for being reliable on short and long journeys.

Mercedes Benz

You see this vehicle on the road more and more. It has gotten a reputation as a great contender for the Ford Transit. It’s a comfy and stable ride and has bags of space in the back for packages of all sizes.

Ford Transit Courier

A bit smaller than the normal Transit, the Courier is great for… couriers. If you need to nip about town with smaller parcels or get from city to city, this is the one we would choose.

Citroen Berlingo

A good choice for those looking for great miles per gallon. What’s more, the passenger seat folds down to create more space for carrying your goods. Plus, for the size of the vehicle, they have a great load height.

Volkswagon Caddy

The VW Caddy, a compact and nimble vehicle, is a top choice for urban driving. Renowned for its build quality and reliability, this vehicle is sure to impress. And who can resist the satisfying ‘clunk’ of its doors closing?

Make sure you have courier insurance

No matter what vehicle you drive, make sure that you have courier driver insurance to protect yourself on the road. From hire and reward to goods in transit insurance, there are several different types that you’ll need to understand.
