Best Vans For Country Driving: Commercial Vs Personal

Driving in the country can be a relaxing and memorable experience, with rolling hills, expansive plains of floral greenery and much more. Whether you’re going for a short solo trip to unwind, or work has taken you through all manner of villages and quaint hamlets, traversing the area in an appropriate vehicle is recommended first and foremost.

Consider your personal vehicle preferences and let Vanaways take you through the very best vans for countryside travels.

Desirable Attributes

As you would expect, vehicle preferences will vary person-to-person, with the manner of your travel likely to alter expectations and needs. Country roads will typically consist of longer stretches, with an easily drivable countryside vehicle requiring seamless handling and navigation. In a commercial context, comfort features and multiple tech options are desirable for longer trips, while a hefty payload and storage features should please tradespeople.

Comfort Features And Tech

Ford manufacture vans and cars for varied situations, and for general in-cab passenger and driver comfort, the Ford Transit is unrivalled. The Monochrome TFT Screen can be used alongside GPS to plan journeys, while unwinding has never been easier with bluetooth connectivity and a functional radio system. Comfort is prioritised too, with adjustable seat, headrest and electronic window control to boot.

Driveability And Navigation

Choosing a small van is often the sensible choice if you’re favouring a nimble and navigable vehicle for those narrow country roads, and at Vanaways we have plenty of smaller models to browse. Ever-popular, the Citroen Berlingo makes up for a comparably limited payload capacity with great handling, fantastic fuel economy and an all-around smoother driving experience. With finance options available, choose a Berlingo model which meets your individual needs.

Payload And Storage

New van deals on larger vehicles are perhaps the superior choice if payload is the main criteria for your country driving experience, therefore the bulky Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a great pick. Multiple storage add-ons, a competitive payload of 1,413kg for the FWD option and a sizable rear loading space tick all the boxes for a versatile van in 2022.

Customer satisfaction is at the forefront of everything we do at Vanaways., and our staff are trained to the highest levels to make sure products and services are consistently at a high level. We’re not your standard small van dealer, offering both new and used vans at a competitive price. Simply contact us for additional information, or to have your questions answered.

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."
