What Is A Combi Van?

A van is typically classed as a medium-sized vehicle that is commonly used for transporting people, goods and equipment around. There are many different types of vans, including tippers, dropside, panel vans, Luton and combi vans.

But what is a combi van? Here is a guide put together by the team at Van Sales UK, including some of the best models we sell.

Combi Vans

Combi vans, sometimes spelt kombi, are a halfway choice between panel vans and minibuses, great for when you need to carry a mix of cargo and passengers. This is perfect for businesses that are carrying both staff and equipment, such as builders moving between worksites.

It’s also great for casual use, such as if you have a large family who won’t fit in a standard car or need a vehicle that can hold both your family and work equipment at the same time. 

Most combi vans are adaptable for however you need them, often with seats that can be folded or removed to make more space for cargo. This makes them ideal choices for businesses that could be faced with a whole range of different work types.

Many people find it hard to shop for combi vans, as you have to balance the benefits of the passenger and cargo space equally, as they are normally both important. Here are a few of the best combi vans available:

Citroen Dispatch

The Citroen Dispatch is a popular combi van model, boasting ergonomic comfort, stellar performance and a smooth driving experience. The diesel engines allow for a low level of fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions as standard. 

Citroen Berlingo Van

Shop for a Citroen Berlingo if you’re looking for exceptional loading capacity and a modular design. It’s aimed to be an ideal choice for a wide range of clients, including shopkeepers, builders and more.

Ford Custom

The Ford Transit Custom balances passengers and cargo with ease. It’s a reliable ride that is efficient, innovative and sophisticated. With three rows of seats as standard, it can carry up to 9 people if needed. If you need to favour cargo, the seats can easily be folded or removed to give more space.

"First class service, I must mention Adrian & Ash on an excellent deal & swift turn around under the short notice I had to buying a new van. Slight delay in the delivery of the van from manufacturers end but Adrian agreed to cover the cost of a hire van until my new van was delivered which allowed me to continue working. its the first time i've purchased a van without physically entering a dealership and i wouldn't hesitate to do it again."
