What Are The Best Vans For Couriers?

In the UK, courier services are absolutely essential to our day-to-day lives. Couriers work tirelessly delivering everything from food and groceries to overseas mail and much more. Statistics show that the amount of packages being delivered in the UK has risen significantly over the years, a grand total of 2.8 billion parcels were delivered in the 2019-2020 fiscal year. This was an increase of 209 million parcels to the previous year. Taking this into account, courier services are ever-increasing and just as important as ever.

A reliable and consistent courier service needs good-quality transport and this unsurprisingly often comes in the form of a van. However, with so much choice on the market these days, it can be difficult to know where to begin in terms of finding the right van for you.

With that in mind, in this blog, we run through three types of van ranging from small to large that we believe are ideal for those in the courier industry. All of the vans listed are fantastic value for money, have good fuel efficiency, not to mention are extremely reliable! Read on to discover more.

​The Citroen Berlingo Enterprise

The Citroen Berlingo Enterprise is a popular vehicle, and for good reason. This is a smaller model of van and is perfect for less substantial deliveries for products such as clothes, passport and documents or mobile phone deliveries. Some of the great features of this van are its Bluetooth, sat-nav, rear parking sensor and remote central locking facilities.

As well as this, there is a feature for this van that alerts you when you need to take a break from driving, ideal for couriers on long-haul trips. As well as this, the latest model has a touchscreen system with increased navigation, handy for when you’re making deliveries! Another attractive feature of this van is its sliding doors which make it much easier to retrieve items from.

Nissan NV300 Tekna

The Nissan NV300 Tekna is the perfect middle-sized van. Several of the features of this van also make it ideal for courier services. For example, a Nissan NV300 is a van that provides you with plenty of options and flexibility. The NV300 van has low running costs, a highly economical engine, and even has driver convenience features such as cruise control and a speed limiter, ideal for long-haul journeys and designed to make your life much easier during deliveries.

Citroen Relay Enterprise

If you’re seeking a larger courier van, the Citroen Relay Enterprise is for you. This van has certainly got plenty of space and provides you with plenty of functionality and features. You’ll be able to carry substantial loads in total comfort and with total ease. The payload for this van is nearly two tonnes and depending on how much mileage you’ll be doing annually, the Citroen Relay also has a cruise control feature allowing long courier trips to be as comfortable and easy as possible.

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"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."

"Just purchased a 2nd van through Vanaways to add to our company fleet. Steve Catley was helpful, communicative and informative all the way through the process. We would definitely use Vanaways again, and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
