Commercial Van Buying Guide
Buying a commercial van for your business is a significant investment that should be done with careful consideration. Even if you’re just browsing our selection of new and used vans online, having an idea of the features critical for your purpose will help narrow your search. Other factors you may have yet to think about might play a role, such as the fuel type, repairs and maintenance the vehicle requires, and any customizations you might need now or in the future. Here are some key points to consider when doing your research.
Choose the Right Fuel Type
With modern advances in technology, you'll find commercial vans powered by more than just gasoline these days. Of the options available, each has its pros and cons. Here is an introduction to the three most common on the road today.
How many passengers does your company need to transport? It may not be the same number every trip, but it's essential to figure out the average high and low numbers. It's easy to buy a van with more than enough seats. However, that can incur unnecessary expenses for your business. For one, the larger the van, the higher the cost, so only pay for what you need. Also, larger vans weigh more and burn fuel faster. They are also trickier to maneuver, especially on busy or narrow roads. On the other hand, a van that is too small will require multiple trips to transport more passengers. That will cost you more in fuel and employee wages. Think about the numbers and get the right size.
Is Accessibility a Concern?
Another important consideration is whether the van needs to accommodate any passengers that might have a disability or use a wheelchair. If the vehicle needs storage for multiple wheelchairs, space should be a priority. Choices for wheelchair accessibility include wheelchair lifts and manually-operated ramps.
Know Your Budget
When researching commercial vans, you may be surprised at the range of price points based on size, accessories, and accessibility. Determining your budget is a great way to ensure you end up with a van that includes everything important to you, including affordability. Do you have a preset budget to spend on a commercial van? If not, take a look at your company’s expenses and determine what you can reasonably afford. We offer a great selection of quality used vans to help you save money. Our company has a team of certified technicians to perform maintenance and repairs on vans and buses to ensure they are in excellent working condition before they hit the sales floor.

With modern advances in technology, you'll find commercial vans powered by more than just gasoline these days. Of the options available, each has its pros and cons. Here is an introduction to the three most common on the road today.
- Gasoline – Gas-powered commercial vans typically cost less, and filling the tank is easy and convenient at any local gas station. However, the cost of gasoline fluctuates, so some days it might cost more than you budgeted for when filling the tank.
- Electric – Electric commercial vans have a higher price tag than gasoline. However, the savings on fuel when driving are significant, although special charging stations are required for power. Electric vehicles significantly reduce carbon emissions into the environment, which is another benefit.
- Hybrid – A hybrid vehicle uses a combination of gas and electricity to power the engine, reducing the cost and reliance on gas while also providing more fuel if electricity isn’t available.
