I dont know if this particular kind of van exist, i am looking for a van that would fit 2 mountain bike at the back without taking any wheels off. 3 front seat. Has air-condition, 1.6 turbo diesel..or maybe a 1.2, 1.4 petrol... Size range of about citroen berlingo, peugeot partner.. ..Something like this. ..i fancy the citroen berlingo 1.6 turbo diesel at the moment as it seems to fit the bill, just not sure if whole bike could fit in without removing front wheel. Cheers

Ive got a expert van with a 1.6 hdi engine and its really economical and has three seats, plenty of space for bikes and gear 😀

Anything with 3 front seats needs to be bigger than a berlingo. They do the new ones with 3 seats in the front but having been in one you;d not want to use them all for long!
If you really want 3 seats then look up a class at the expert, despatch etc. Not that much bigger really but much more useable.

Are these vans cheaper to insure than car? Like ford focus 2litre tdci ..got 7yrs no claim bonus ,zero points on license and got my own driveway..

I need it to be berlingo or partner or caddy size to fit 2 cars in my drive. ..will have to check dimension of the expert.. Van use will only for bike really..weekend mostly or maybe occasional weekday if off work. .. I don't know if diesel is worth for this occasional mileage.. Or should i stick to petrol 1.4

Not usually.
Regarding your NCB, it's either car or van NCB. Most places will let you transfer your car NCB to use with a van but not many companies at all will let you transfer your van NCB back to use on a car if you get rid of the van.
This sounded like a load of rubbish to me but when I insured the van I was told pretty much the same by a few different companies.

i have the older ( up to '06 i think ) pug expert. fair amount of room in teh back and fits in a regular parking space. was marginally cheaper to insure with direct line than the seat leon i had before and also marginally more pokey. do you need 3 seats for adults? for distance that middle seat is always a bit uncomfy for the person in the middle but probably much less so for a nipper.
