Top 10: Cheapest panel vans to insure

Citroen Relay (2006-)

Insurance Group 4E

If you’re after a new panel van or something with a lot more space but want to keep your premiums to a minimum, then Citroen is once again the answer, as the current Relay starts only insurance group higher than the Dispatch, at 4E. This applies to the entry-level 110PS 2.2-litre HDi engine, and the 30 L1H1 model in standard or Enterprise trim levels, and the Relay is known for being one of the best vans in its class to drive.

Vauxhall Vivaro (2001-2014)

Insurance Group 4E

Seeing as it's the sister van to the Renault Trafic, it’s no surprise that the Vauxhall Vivaro also starts in insurance group 4E. The Vauxhall has a much larger range of models available within that group, though, covering everything from short and long-wheelbase vans, standard and high roof variants, economy-themed Ecoflex models and, as with the Renault, both 90PS and 115PS versions of the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel engine, along with manual and automatic transmissions.

Ford Transit (2006-2014)

Insurance Group 5E

The previous generation of Britain’s best-selling panel van starts in insurance group 5E, which covers a huge array of different variants. You can bag a 2.2-litre TDCi model with anything from 85PS to 145PS with a low, medium or high roof and the same three-way choice of wheelbases – all in group 5E. The Transit’s mammoth new sales mean you can pick up a used example anywhere, and it’s far from difficult to find one that’ll meet your requirements.

Peugeot Boxer (2006-)

Insurance Group 5E

Peugeot’s equivalent of the Fiat Ducato and the Citroen Relay is far from unreasonable to insure, as it starts in group 5E. Models available in that group are the 330 L1H1 and L1H2 100 and 110, in standard, Professional or Special Edition Professional trim levels. The 2.2-litre HDi diesel engines are strong and Peugeot’s 100,000-mile LCV warranty means newer, lower mileage versions may still have some factory cover.

Volkswagen T5 Transporter (2003-2015)

Insurance Group 5E

The Volkswagen Transporter is among the best-selling vans in the UK, and with good reason, as even the previous generation T5 model is extremely refined and car-like to drive. Those big sales also mean it’s easy to pick up a second-hand example just about anywhere, which is great news, as the T5 starts in insurance group 5E. That gets you a short-wheelbase model with an 84PS 2.0-litre TDI engine, a standard or medium roof and basic, Trendline or Highline specifications.
