Top 10: Crew vans with the lowest and cheapest insurance groups

2

Renault Trafic (2001-2014)

Insurance Group 4E 

The Renault Trafic is second cheapest medium-sized crew van to insure, with a starting group of 4E. However, that particular group applies to older, Euro four spec models, with the 115PS 2.0-litre dCi diesel engine, while newer, cleaner versions sit in higher groups. Vans fitted with Renault’s semi-automatic Qucikshift6 transmission are available in group 4E though, as are the entry-level and Sport trim levels.

Ford Transit (2006-2014)

Insurance Group 5E 

The previous version of Britain’s best-selling van also happens to be very reasonable to insure, as it kicks off in group 5E. The Transit is known for its vast range, and even crew vans of this generation in the lowest insurance group can be had with the 2.2-litre TDCi engine in two power outputs (85PS and 115PS), low and medium roofs and short and long wheelbases. You can pick one up more or less anywhere, too.

Volkswagen T5 Transporter (2003-2015)

Insurance Group 6E 

Volkswagen really knows its stuff when it comes to passenger vans – after all, the air-cooled campers of old were more famous than their panel van equivalents. The previous generation Transporter, the T5, kicks off in group 6E if it’s a crew van version you’re after, which gets you a short-wheelbase, 84PS 2.0-litre TDI model with a standard or medium roof in entry-level, Trendline or Highline trims.

Peugeot Expert (2007-2016)

Insurance Group 7E 

Peugeot’s version of the Citroen Dispatch and the Toyota Proace has the highest starting insurance group of the three, at 7E. That’s still low enough to make it onto our list though, and it gets you a 130PS 2.0-litre HDi model L2 H1 guise. The Expert of this generation was available with optional pneumatic rear suspension, which makes loading seriously easy, so keep an eye out for examples fitted with it.

Nissan NV200 (2009-)

Insurance Group 10E 

The larger NV400 and Primastar vans share their underpinnings with models from other manufacturers, but the NV200 is all Nissan’s own work. It’s much the better for it too, as the cabin is roomy, comfortable and practical, and there are five and seven-seat crew and combi versions available. Passenger models start off in insurance group 10E, which gets you a 1.5-litre dCi model with five seats and the S trim level.
