How to Choose the Best Van for Your Business

It does not matter if you need a vehicle to start pop-up retail outlets, transport stock, or reward your customers, it is vital to select the best van for your business. Considering its many uses, a business van has now become a necessary purchase for most businesses, especially for start-ups with the need to transport equipment and products to different parts of the country.

However, it is not easy to select the best van for your business, which is mainly because there are so many options, ranging from expansive 15-passenger models like the ‘Chevrolet Express’ to compact MPVs like the ‘Mazda 5’. Not only this, you can also choose from a diverse range of stripped-down cargo variant if you want to haul equipment only.

In order to make a right choice, you first need to determine how you are going to use the van. For instance:

• If you have a small business and want a van that is fuel-efficient, you may want to put your money on MPVs, such as the Ford C-Max and the Mazda 5.

• In case the diminutive size of multipurpose vans is an issue, you can select a minivan, which offers the combination of better cargo space, value, and seating capacity – the Toyota Sienna and the Honda Odyssey, both serve as a perfect minivan.

• Sometimes, your business needs a van with more passenger seats – that is when a full-size passenger van becomes the best choice. The Chevrolet Express is a good option, which comes with a seating capacity for up to 15 people. You should bear in mind that due to its larger size and specific design, it is not as fuel-efficient as MPVs.

• Finally, you may have a business that does not involve hauling passengers but requires more space for cargo. This is when buying a cargo van becomes the best bet. The Ford Transit Connect, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Chevrolet Express are also available as cargo vans – they differ in sizes, so you have to pick one according to your business needs.

A Very Important Consideration

Modern vans come with a variety of equipment installed in them, and the availability of different features and equipment tends to change the price of that vehicle. That is why you should have some info about the type of equipment you want in your van. Generally, it is a good idea to check a van for safety aids such as traction control and airbags, but you should also consider convenience features such as cruise control, air conditioner and sat-nav.

Similarly, it may be useful for your business to have a van with a tow bar, a specialist roof rack, load restraint systems or internal ply lining. So, determine your business needs and check for these features before finalizing a decision.
