The “perfect van” – a phrase that evokes a sense of freedom, adventure, and flexibility. But what truly defines the ideal van? The answer is as unique as the individual needs of each person. Whether as a reliable partner for tradespeople, a spacious vacation home for the whole family, or a mobile office for digital nomads – the selection of vans is vast.

But don’t worry, with the right know-how, you too can find the van that perfectly suits you. “Choosing the right van is comparable to choosing the right tool,” says master mechanic Hans Schmidt from Berlin. “It all depends on what you need it for and what requirements you have.”
What Makes a Van the “Best”?
To find the best van for your needs, you should first be clear about your individual requirements.
Key Criteria at a Glance:

- Engine: Do you need a particularly powerful engine for heavy loads or long distances?
- Features: Which extras are important to you – air conditioning, navigation system, auxiliary heating?
- Budget: How much can the van cost?
