Top 10: Cheapest vans to insure 2018

Peugeot Partner (2008-)

Insurance Group 1E

It’s all but identical to the Citroen Berlingo under the skin, so it’s hardly a surprise that similar versions of the Peugeot Partner also start in the very lowest insurance group of 1E. As with the Partner’s sister van, that grants you access to both the 1.6-litre petrol and the 1.6-litre HDi diesel engines, and every version in this group has the L1 625 body. As for trim levels, you’re looking at either S or SE.

Vauxhall Corsavan (2015-)

Insurance Group 1E

The final new van on our list that qualifies for insurance group 1E is the Vauxhall Corsavan. Buyers can find a 70PS 1.2-litre petrol model in this group and, while that’s a relatively basic version, the good news is that the Corsavan is very well equipped as standard. The current model is fitted with a DAB digital radio, electric windows and a fully adjustable steering wheel, regardless of which trim level you go for.

Citroen Nemo (2008-)

Insurance Group 2E

Don’t be put off by the Citroen Nemo’s size: it may be the smallest of the French manufacturer’s vans, but there’s a surprising amount of space inside, so it’s worth considering before you write it off in favour of a larger model. It starts in insurance group 2E, which gets you a choice of either a 75PS 1.4-litre petrol engine or a 75PS 1.3-litre HDi diesel unit. There’s a decent choice of trim levels within that group too, with X, LX and Enterprise specs available.

Citroen Dispatch (2007-2016)

Insurance Group 3E

Citroen’s mid-sized Dispatch is the largest van on our list. It starts in insurance group 3E, which is exceptionally low for a van of its size. Both the 90PS 1.6 and 125PS 2.0 HDi diesel engines are available within this group – go for the more powerful version if you can, as it’s much more refined. Panel van and crew van variants can be found in group 3E too, as can standard and Enterprise specifications.

Ford Transit Connect (2014-)

Insurance Group 3E

The solitary Ford on our list is arguably the van that’s the best to drive. The current Transit Connect is a hoot behind the wheel and kicks off in insurance group 3E. Even better than the driving experience is the vast amount of choice at this level, as it’s available with Ford’s 1.6-litre TDCi diesel engine in a variety of different power outputs as well as the excellent 1.0-litre Ecoboost petrol unit. Short and medium wheelbases and panel van, crew van and double cab body styles can all be found in insurance group 3E, too.
