For anyone running a delivery or courier company in the UK a reliable, affordable, and cheap to run van is essential.

Crusader Vans have been the trusted name in van leasing in the UK since 2004. As van leasing specialists, Crusader Vans know what the best vans for couriers are. Here are our recommendations for the best vans for delivery companies in the UK.
Peugeot Partner

With plenty of space and a generous payload, clever tech means you cannot overload the vehicle. Van driver safety is a top priority and the Overload sensor built in with the Partner is seriously smart tech.

Ford Transit Courier
The Ford Transit has been the van of all vans for half a century. The Ford Transit Courier is remarkable smaller van from the Ford stable. With its shorter wheelbase, the Ford Transit Courier is perfect for urban streets and comes with the total dependability Transit drivers have come to rely on.
The loading area gives an ample 2.3 cubic metres of space, and the van can carry up to 600kg. The 1.5 Tdci engine is more than powerful enough and makes the van extremely nippy, even when fully loaded.

Electric Vans for Couriers
“Are Electric Vans good for Couriers and Delivery Companies?” is a question Crusader Vans are asked every day. Of course, electric vans are the way forward but there are currently plenty of pros and cons. Range and the time a vehicle takes to charge are common concerns while eco-friendliness and overall cost of running (theoretically) are the positives. This being said, Crusader van’s has a range of electric vans that could work well for you as a courier or delivery company, especially for last-mile delivery or local deliveries.
