You can maintain a double cab van by regularly checking critical parts such as tyres, brakes and suspension. These vehicles carry more weight due to extra seats, which puts more strain on the chassis and brakes. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule, watch out for early warning signs and have your van inspected regularly by a professional to avoid costly repairs.

Why does a double cabin require extra attention during maintenance?

A double-cab van weighs more than a standard model due to the extra seats and the stronger construction that goes with them. This higher weight ensures more strain on the chassis, suspension and brakes. When you regularly drive with a fully occupied cab and loaded cargo area, you are working at the maximum permitted weight. This means that all components have to work harder than in a lighter van.

This heavier load causes parts to wear out more quickly. Your suspension has to absorb more shocks, your brakes have to bring more mass to a halt and your tyres constantly carry more weight. This does not mean that a double cab will necessarily break down more often, but it does mean that your maintenance frequency will be different. Whereas with a light van you might be able to wait a little longer between certain checks, this is not a good idea with a double cab.

Weight distribution also plays a role. With a double cab, there is more weight at the front due to the extra seats and passengers. This affects the balance of your vehicle and requires different settings and points of attention during maintenance. For example, you need to check the tyre pressure more often and keep an eye on the alignment of your wheels.

Which parts should you check most often?

In a double cab van, there are five components that deserve extra attention. Your tyres are at the top of the list. Due to the higher weight, they wear out faster and the correct tyre pressure is even more important. Check the pressure at least once a month and inspect the treads for uneven wear. Do you see bald spots on the inside or outside? Then your alignment is not correct and you need to go to the garage.

Your brakes have a lot to endure in a double cab. With a fully occupied cab and loaded cargo area, your braking system has to bring much more mass to a standstill. Watch out for signs such as squeaking noises, vibrations in the brake pedal or a longer braking distance. Have your brake pads and discs checked annually, or sooner if you drive a lot of kilometres.

The shock absorbers and suspension of your van are constantly working against the extra weight. Have you noticed that your vehicle bounces more on bumps, vibrates longer or tilts to one side? Then your shock absorbers are probably due for replacement. Poor handling in corners can also indicate worn suspension.

Engine oil and filters also require regular attention. A heavier engine places greater demands on its lubrication system. Adhere to the prescribed replacement intervals and check the oil level regularly between services. Dark, thick oil or a low oil level are signs that you need to take action quickly.

Finally, coolant is important. An engine that has to work harder gets hotter. Check the coolant level regularly and keep an eye on the temperature gauge while driving. An engine that gets too hot can suffer serious damage.

How can you prevent costly repairs to your double cab?

Preventive maintenance is not a luxury but a necessity for a double cab van. The manufacturer's maintenance schedule has been drawn up with the load on your vehicle in mind. Follow this schedule strictly and do not skip any services, even if your vehicle still seems to be running well. Minor problems worsen more quickly in heavier vehicles than with lighter models.

Learn to recognise the early warning signs. Strange noises such as squeaking, tapping or rattling are not coincidental. Vibrations in the steering wheel or pedals indicate problems with your wheels, brakes or suspension. Loss of power, irregular idling or increased fuel consumption can indicate engine problems. Do not ignore these signs, because what starts as a minor problem can turn into an expensive repair.

With a double cab, everything works with less margin. A slightly worn brake pad on a light van is annoying, but on a heavily loaded double cab it can be dangerous. A small oil leak that you leave for a week can lead to engine damage with intensive use. The extra load means that components go from “almost worn out” to “broken” more quickly.

Have your van inspected regularly by a professional who has experience with commercial vehicles. A good mechanic will spot problems that you might overlook and can make minor adjustments before they become major issues. An annual thorough inspection, in addition to your regular servicing, can save you a lot of money and headaches.

What does it cost to maintain a double cab van?

The maintenance costs of a double cab van are higher than those of a standard model, but are easy to predict. A minor service usually costs between 150 and 300 euros and includes an oil change, filter replacement and a general check-up. A major service, which also includes a thorough check and maintenance of the brakes, suspension and other parts, costs between 400 and 800 euros.

For a double cab van, you can expect annual maintenance costs of between £800 and £1,500, depending on your mileage and usage. Do you drive a lot of kilometres or use your vehicle intensively? Then you will be at the upper end of this range. Do you mainly make short journeys and stay below 20,000 kilometres per year? Then you may end up at the lower end.

Various factors influence your maintenance costs. Your driving style makes a big difference: aggressive acceleration and hard braking accelerate wear and tear. The load also plays a role. Do you constantly drive with maximum weight? Then parts wear out faster. Your annual mileage is a third factor: more kilometres means more maintenance, but also more efficiency because you spread your fixed costs over more kilometres.

Preventive maintenance may seem more expensive, but in the long run it is much cheaper than repairs. A set of new brake pads may cost £300, but if you wait too long and damage your brake discs, you could easily end up paying £800 or more. An oil change costing £100 can prevent engine damage costing thousands of pounds. So invest in regular maintenance and save on major repairs.

You can control maintenance costs without compromising on quality. Follow the maintenance schedule consistently so that minor problems remain minor. Compare prices from different garages, but choose specialists in commercial vehicles. Cheap is not always better if the work is not done properly. Consider a maintenance contract if you lease: this will make your costs predictable and you will not be faced with any surprises.

A double cab van must undergo an annual MOT test after the first three years. This applies to all vans in the N1 category, including your double cab. Are you buying a used double cab? Then you need to check when the next MOT test is scheduled. In this article, we answer all practical questions about MOT tests for double cabs, from the frequency of testing to what you should do if your vehicle fails the test.

What is the difference between an MOT for a passenger car and a double cab van?

A double cab van falls under the N1 category and is considered a commercial vehicle, not a passenger car. This means that the MOT test has different requirements than for a regular passenger car. When inspecting a double cab van, the inspector pays extra attention to the load capacity, the maximum permissible mass and specific commercial vehicle requirements.

The main difference lies in the inspection of the chassis and the load compartment. Because double cabins are often heavily loaded, the inspector checks whether the vehicle can withstand the load. The brakes are also tested more intensively, because commercial vehicles with a full load have a longer braking distance.

For passenger cars, the inspection focuses primarily on passenger comfort and safety. For double cab vans, the safety of the load and the construction of the vehicle are also taken into account. This includes the securing of the loading floor, the condition of the bodywork and any rust that could weaken the structure.

How often does a double cab van need to undergo an MOT test?

A new double cab van does not need to have the no MOT test for the first three years After this period, your vehicle must be inspected annually. This applies to all commercial vehicles up to 3,500 kg, including your double cab van.

Are you buying a used double cab? Then check when the MOT expires. You can find the expiry date on the vehicle registration certificate or via the RDW website. Always schedule the inspection a few weeks before the expiry date, so that you can have any repairs carried out without your MOT expiring.

Please note: are you driving with an expired MOT? Then you risk a fine and problems with your insurance. In the event of an accident with an expired MOT, your insurer may refuse to pay out. Therefore, set a reminder in your calendar or ask your garage to warn you when the next inspection is due.

Tip: keep a logbook of all MOT inspections and repairs. This not only helps you keep track of maintenance, but also increases the resale value of your double cab when you want to sell it later.

What exactly is checked during an MOT test on a double cab?

During the MOT test of a double cab, the inspector checks over 200 points. The most important checks are the brakes, lights, tyres, exhaust system and the construction of the chassis. In the case of a double cab van, the inspector pays extra attention to the load space and the attachment of any superstructure.

The brakes receive extra attention because commercial vehicles are often heavily loaded. The inspector tests whether the braking power is sufficient and whether the brakes work evenly. He also checks the brake hoses for leaks and the brake discs for wear. The requirements are stricter for double cabins with a high load capacity than for passenger cars.

Common reasons for rejection in double cabins are:

• Worn tyres with insufficient tread depth (minimum 1.6 mm)
• Broken or weak lighting, especially rear lights and number plate lights
• Rust formation on the chassis that weakens the structure
• Leaking shock absorbers or worn suspension
• Defective exhaust with excessive emissions
• Loose or damaged parts in the cargo area

The inspector also checks whether all safety systems are working, such as ABS and ESP. Electronic systems are also tested on newer double cabins. Have you fitted accessories such as a tow bar or roof rack? These must also be securely attached, otherwise they may result in a rejection.

What happens if your double cab is rejected during the MOT test?

If your vehicle fails the test, you will receive a list of defects that must be repaired. The inspector distinguishes between minor and major defects. Minor defects may be repaired without a new inspection, but major defects require a re-inspection within one month.

You may continue to drive with minor defects until you have them repaired. Examples include a broken indicator light or minor damage to the bodywork that does not pose a structural risk. However, you must have these defects repaired before the next MOT test.

Major defects mean that your vehicle will be immediately rejected. You will not be allowed to drive until the repairs have been carried out and the vehicle has been re-inspected. Examples include broken brakes, a defective steering box or severe rusting of load-bearing parts.

The re-inspection usually costs between £20 and £40, depending on the inspection station. You only need to have the items that failed the test re-inspected, not the entire vehicle. Make sure you take the repair receipts with you to the re-inspection so that the inspector can see what has been repaired.

Not sure if you can carry out the repairs yourself? Have your double cab checked by a garage. Some faults may seem minor but may require technical knowledge. When in doubt, professional help is always the safest choice.

Comprehensive insurance for a double cab van costs between £700 and £2,500 per year on average, depending on factors such as the value of your vehicle, the number of business kilometres you drive, your no-claims discount and your postcode. New double cabins with a high current value usually fall into the higher segment, while older models are cheaper to insure. In this article, we answer the most important questions about comprehensive insurance for double cabins, so that you can make an informed decision.

What is the difference between comprehensive and third-party insurance for a double cab?

Comprehensive insurance covers all damage to your double cab van, including damage you cause yourself, while third-party insurance only covers damage to others. With third-party + insurance, you get extra cover for theft, fire and natural damage, but damage to your own vehicle caused by your own fault remains uncovered.

For double cabins This difference is important for vehicles that are used intensively in construction, technical services or transport. These vehicles are often found at busy work sites, drive through tight construction sites and are subjected to heavy loads on a daily basis. A wrong manoeuvre, damage caused by loading work or a collision on site can quickly result in thousands of pounds in repair costs.

With third-party insurance, you pay for this entirely yourself. With third-party plus insurance, you are covered against theft and fire, which is certainly useful, but not against damage caused by your own fault. Comprehensive insurance does cover these situations, including vandalism, parking errors and damage during loading and unloading. For companies that need their double cabs on a daily basis, this prevents unexpected large expenses that could disrupt your business operations.

Another difference lies in the compensation paid in the event of a total loss. With comprehensive insurance, you will receive the full current market value or, in the case of newer vehicles, sometimes even the new value. With third-party liability and third-party liability plus insurance, you will only receive compensation if someone else caused the damage. For a double cab van with a purchase value of £30,000 or more, that is a big difference.

What factors determine the price of comprehensive insurance?

The premium for comprehensive insurance is determined by the value and age of your double cab, the number of business kilometres, your no-claims discount, the chosen excess, your postcode, the age of the driver and your claims history. The higher the value and risk profile, the more you pay.

Value and age of your vehicle are the most important factors. A new double cab costing €40,000 costs more to insure than a five-year-old model worth €15,000. Insurers look at the replacement value in the event of damage or theft. Newer vehicles also often have more expensive parts and technology on board, which increases the premium.

Business mileage also plays a major role. If you drive 40,000 kilometres a year for your business, you are statistically more at risk of damage than if you drive 15,000 kilometres. Insurers charge a higher premium for this. Be honest about your expected mileage, because in the event of damage, the insurer will check this and an understatement may result in a reduction in the payout.

No-claims discount can significantly reduce your premium. With five claim-free years, you can often save 50% to 70% on your basic premium. Some insurers even offer special business no-claims schemes where minor claims do not affect your discount. This is useful for double cabins that are used intensively.

Excess determines how much you pay yourself in the event of damage. A standard excess of €250 keeps the premium affordable. If you opt for an excess of €1,000, your premium will decrease significantly, but you will pay more out of your own pocket for each claim. This can be advantageous for companies with a healthy buffer.

Postcode and parking location make a difference. Commercial vehicles in urban areas with higher theft rates cost more to insure than in rural areas. A locked-up site or garage reduces the risk and can lower your premium. Some insurers offer discounts if you install security measures such as tracking or extra locks.

Age and experience of the driver also count. Young drivers under the age of 25 often pay a surcharge. Companies with multiple drivers must take the youngest driver into account in the policy. Experienced drivers with a clean driving record usually receive more favourable rates.

When is comprehensive insurance worthwhile for a double cab?

All-risk insurance is advisable for new or young double cab vans, vehicles with a current market value above €15,000, intensive use in high-risk environments such as construction sites, and when leasing or financing. For older vehicles with a low value, third-party liability insurance is often sufficient.

For new double cabins, comprehensive insurance is almost always advisable. Your vehicle will retain considerable value for the first three to five years. An accident or theft without comprehensive insurance means that you will have to pay for most of this investment yourself. With leasing or financial leasing, comprehensive insurance is often mandatory, because the financier wants to prevent you from being left with a total loss and a residual debt.

Intensive commercial use on construction sites, in technical services or transport puts your double cab at greater risk. Cramped work areas, reversing with limited visibility, loading and unloading under time pressure: all these factors increase the risk of damage. All-risk insurance prevents every parking dent or collision from becoming a financial setback. For companies that rely on their vehicles on a daily basis, peace of mind is important.

WA+ may be sufficient for older double cabins with a current value of less than €10,000. This covers you against theft, fire and natural damage, while paying a lower premium. Calculate your annual savings and whether you are prepared to pay for repairs yourself in the event of your own fault. If you have multiple vehicles and can temporarily do without one double cab, third-party liability + is often a smart choice.

Also consider your business situation. Start-up entrepreneurs with limited budgets sometimes opt for third-party liability insurance on older vehicles to reduce costs. Growing companies with newer vehicles and a dependence on their fleet more often opt for comprehensive insurance to limit business risks. Make this decision based on your cash flow, the value of your vehicle and how much risk you can bear.

A double-cab van First, determine how many seats and how much cargo space you need for your daily work. Consider the load capacity, the fuel type that suits your driving behaviour, and comfort for longer journeys. It is important to find the right balance between sufficient passenger capacity and enough cargo space for your equipment. These vans are ideal for teams travelling together to project locations with their tools and equipment.

Why choose a double cab van?

A double cab van can accommodate five to six people and has space for materials in a single vehicle. This allows you to combine passenger transport with goods transport, which is practical for teams travelling to work sites together. This setup means you don't need multiple vehicles for your team and their equipment.

For construction companies, installers and maintenance teams, double cabins often the best choice. Your entire team travels together, while tools, materials and equipment remain separate in the load compartment. This keeps the cab clean and comfortable for your employees.

Flexibility is a major advantage. On days when you need to transport fewer people, you can use the extra space for materials. For larger projects, you can take the entire team with you without anyone having to drive a separate car. This saves on fuel costs and makes planning easier.

Compare this to a standard delivery van, which only has two seats. This means that part of your team has to travel separately, which costs time and money. Or you could opt for a large bus without cargo space, which means you have to transport your equipment separately. A double cab solves both problems at once.

How much cargo space do you lose with a double cab?

With a double cab, you lose about a third to half of the load space compared to a standard van. A standard model often has around 5 to 6 square metres of load floor space, while a double cab has 3 to 4 square metres. The load capacity also decreases, usually by 200 to 400 kilograms.

For many companies, this trade-off is not a problem. If your team transports tools, smaller machines or building materials on a daily basis, the remaining load space is often sufficient. Think of installers who work with pipes, fittings and tools, or maintenance companies with their standard equipment.

Calculate in advance what you really need. Make a list of the materials you transport on average and measure the space they take up. Add a margin for unexpected jobs. This will help you determine whether a double cab suits your working method.

Sectors such as construction and landscaping often opt for double cabins despite the smaller load compartment. The ability to transport the entire team together outweighs the extra load space. For transport companies that mainly transport volume, a standard van is often more practical.

Practical examples by sector

Installation companies use double cabins for daily maintenance jobs involving two to four engineers working with toolboxes, small parts and measuring equipment. The more limited load space is not an issue in this case.

Construction crews opt for double cabins when they travel to different locations with a fixed team. Heavy equipment is delivered separately, while the crew takes their daily tools with them in the van.

What are the most important considerations when choosing a double cab van?

Start with the number of seats you need on a regular basis. A double cab usually offers six seats, but some models have five. Think about your average team size and whether you regularly transport varying numbers of people.

The load capacity is at least as important as the cargo space. Check the maximum weight you are allowed to load and subtract the weight of your team and their personal belongings. What remains is available for materials and tools. If you exceed this weight, you risk fines and wear and tear on your vehicle.

Comfort during longer journeys makes a difference to your team. Pay attention to things like legroom, adjustable seats and climate control. Employees who spend an hour or more in the car every day will work more effectively if they can travel in comfort.

Safety features are no longer optional. Modern double cabins often come with ESP, airbags and ABS as standard. Also consider additional options such as blind spot detection, rear view cameras and adaptive cruise control, especially if you drive a lot of kilometres.

Calculate total costs

The purchase price is only part of your investment. You also need to factor in fuel costs, maintenance, insurance and any road tax. A cheaper van with high fuel consumption may end up being more expensive in the long run than a more efficient model.

Your driving pattern determines which factors are more important. If you mainly drive short distances in the city, manoeuvrability and ease of parking are important. If you make long motorway journeys every day, fuel consumption and driving comfort are more relevant.

Which fuel choice is best suited to a double cab van?

Diesel remains the practical choice for many companies when it comes to double cabs. If you drive more than 20,000 kilometres per year, you will recoup the higher purchase price through lower fuel consumption. Modern diesel engines are more economical and quieter than in the past, and refuelling is quick.

Electric double cabins are becoming increasingly available. They are ideal if you mainly work within a fixed region with daily journeys of up to 150 kilometres. Your charging costs are lower than fuel costs, and you drive quietly and without emissions. Do pay attention to the load capacity, because the batteries are heavy and reduce your payload.

Work out what suits you best. Add up your annual mileage and divide it by twelve to get your monthly average. Consider your standard routes and whether you have access to charging stations at your workplace or at home. If you regularly drive in environmental zones, electric vehicles become a more attractive option.

Fuel costs fluctuate, but the differences remain significant. Diesel costs more per litre than petrol, but it takes you further. Electricity is the cheapest per kilometre, especially if you charge outside peak hours. Calculate this for your own situation using current rates.

Taking future-proofing into account

Environmental zones in cities are becoming stricter. Some municipalities already ban older diesel engines, and these rules are being expanded. If you regularly work in urban areas, check the plans for the coming years. An electric or very clean diesel engine will retain access to these zones for longer.

The charging infrastructure is growing rapidly. What may seem impractical for electric driving now may be very different in two years' time. Think about where your company will be in five years' time and whether your working area will be better served by charging stations.

The term of a lease for a double cab van usually varies between 24 and 60 months. The most popular terms are 36 or 48 months, as these fit in well with the depreciation of the vehicle and business planning. You can decide for yourself which term best suits your situation, depending on factors such as usage, budget and growth plans. With a finance lease, you can match the term to the depreciation period of the vehicle.

What are the standard lease terms for a double cab van?

The standard lease terms for a double-cab van are 24, 36, 48 and 60 months. These periods have been chosen because they are in line with the depreciation of company cars and the way entrepreneurs plan their finances. Most business users opt for a term of 36 or 48 months, as this offers a good balance between monthly costs and flexibility.

The flexibility in terms also depends on the type of lease you choose. At financial lease you are the economic owner of the vehicle from the first lease term onwards and the van is included in your balance sheet. You can tailor the term to the depreciation period that suits your business operations. With an operational lease, you rent the vehicle for a specific period, with a different ownership situation.

Entrepreneurs in construction, logistics and technical services often opt for a longer term of 48 or 60 months. This is because a double cab is used intensively and a longer term keeps the monthly costs lower. Self-employed professionals and smaller companies sometimes opt for 24 or 36 months because they want more flexibility to switch to another vehicle more quickly as their business grows.

A significant advantage of financial leasing is that you set the interest rate in advance. This means you pay a fixed monthly amount throughout the term and know exactly where you stand. This makes budget planning a lot easier, especially if you work with multiple vehicles or want to expand your fleet.

How do you choose the right term for your business?

The right lease term for you double-cab van depends on how intensively you use the vehicle and how many kilometres you drive per year. If you drive to different project locations every day with a full team, your vehicle will wear out faster than if you only use it for local trips. With high annual mileage, a shorter term is often wiser, so that you are not left with a worn-out vehicle.

Your business growth also plays an important role. If you expect your team or activities to expand significantly in the coming years, a shorter term of 24 or 36 months may be useful. This will allow you to switch more quickly to a larger or more modern vehicle that better suits your new situation. For stable companies with predictable needs, a longer period of 48 or 60 months is more advantageous, as the monthly costs are lower.

Budget planning and depreciation periods are practical factors to consider when making your choice. With a finance lease, you can tailor the term to the depreciation of the vehicle, which can be advantageous from a tax perspective. You pay a fixed monthly amount with no surprises, because the interest rate remains unchanged throughout the term. This gives you financial security and clarity.

Self-employed professionals often have different needs than SMEs or larger organisations. As a self-employed professional, you usually want to remain flexible and not be tied to one vehicle for too long. A term of 36 months offers a good compromise. SMEs with multiple employees often opt for 48 months, as this provides the best balance between monthly costs and useful life. Larger organisations with fleet management sometimes opt for 60 months, because they maintain their vehicles intensively and use them for longer.

A concrete example: if you work in construction and drive to sites every day with a team of five people plus tools, you can probably expect to cover around 30,000 to 40,000 kilometres per year. In that case, a term of 36 or 48 months is realistic. Do you mainly drive locally with lower mileage? Then a longer period of 60 months may be more financially attractive.

What happens at the end of the lease period?

At the end of your lease contract, you have several options, depending on the type of lease. At financial lease you are the beneficial owner of the vehicle, which means that you can take ownership of the van by paying off any residual value. You can also opt for a new lease contract with a different vehicle, or extend the term if that suits you better.

If you wish to return the vehicle, the residual value plays an important role. This is the amount that the van is still worth at the end of the lease period. With a finance lease, you can include a final instalment in the agreement equal to this residual value, which will reduce your monthly lease payments. Upon return, the car will be valued and settled against this agreed residual value.

Practical matters such as any damage or mileage exceeding the agreed limit will be assessed upon return. With a finance lease, you are responsible for arranging the car costs yourself, such as maintenance and insurance, so you usually know the condition of the vehicle well. Normal wear and tear is accepted, but more significant damage or technical defects may affect the final settlement.

A smooth transition to your next commercial vehicle requires timely planning. Start thinking about your next step about three months before the end of your lease period. Do you want another double cab, or has your business grown and do you need something bigger? By starting your search early, you will have enough time to find the right vehicle and arrange financing.

When extending the contract, you can often agree on favourable terms, as the initial investment has already been made. This can be interesting if your vehicle is still in good condition and you do not yet need a replacement. You can also opt for a new lease contract with a more modern vehicle, allowing you to benefit from the latest technology and safety features.

For a construction company, a double-cab van with sufficient load capacity (minimum 1,000 kg) and space for 5-6 people is usually the best choice. Consider the balance between passenger transport and material capacity, the length of the load space (short for urban work, long for large projects), and the material type of the load bed. The right configuration depends on your daily activities and the amount of building materials you transport.

What should you consider when selecting a double cabin for construction?

When selecting a double cab van for construction work, load capacity, number of seats and load space dimensions the most important factors. You want to transport your team comfortably and take sufficient materials to the construction site. The balance between these two aspects determines which configuration suits you best.

The load capacity of your double cab must be realistic for everyday use. Always include the weight of your staff in the calculation. Five people weighing an average of 80 kg will already cost you 400 kg of your total load capacity. Will there still be enough left for your materials and tools?

The type of material used for the loading platform also makes a difference. Steel loading containers are sturdier and more resistant to heavy impacts, which is useful if you regularly work with heavy equipment. Aluminium loading platforms are lighter, which gives you more load capacity, but they dent more easily when used roughly.

Accessibility is more practical than you might think. Can you easily reach your equipment? Are the side flaps easy to open? If you load and unload items ten times a day, you will notice the difference between a well-designed and poorly designed loading compartment.

Some construction companies deliberately opt for a longer wheelbase with more loading space, while others prefer a shorter version for better manoeuvrability in the city. Your daily work locations largely determine which configuration is most practical.

How much load capacity do you really need for building materials?

For building materials, you need minimum 800-1,000 kg effective load capacity required after deducting the weight of your personnel. Typical building materials weigh: a bag of cement 25 kg, a stack of wooden planks 50-100 kg, toolboxes 30-50 kg, and insulation material is relatively light but takes up a lot of space.

Calculate your load capacity realistically. If your double cab has a maximum load capacity of 1,200 kg and you are transporting four mechanics (320 kg), that leaves 880 kg for materials. That sounds like a lot, but consider what you typically carry on an average day: tools, a ladder, building materials, and perhaps a compressor or mixing machine.

Overloading is no trivial matter. You risk a fine, but more importantly, your safety and that of other road users is at stake. An overloaded van brakes less effectively, is harder to steer and wears out more quickly. The MOT test will also pick this up, which could cost you downtime.

A practical tip: weigh your double cab van when fully loaded on a weighbridge. Many construction companies underestimate their daily load and unknowingly drive around overloaded. This way, you know exactly where you stand and can adjust your working methods.

Also take seasonal differences into account. In winter, you may want to take extra material with you because you want to drive less often, or you may load more because certain projects require more material. Plan your load capacity with these variations in mind.

What is the difference between a short and long double cabin?

A short double cab has a wheelbase of approximately 3,000–3,300 mm, while a long version measures 3,450-4,000 mm. The difference lies in manoeuvrability versus load space. A short cab is easier to turn, easier to park and more convenient in narrow streets. A long cab offers more load space but requires more space when manoeuvring.

For urban construction projects, a short double cab is often more practical. You regularly work in cramped city centres, have to park in narrow streets and manoeuvre on small construction sites. Those extra metres of wheelbase really make a difference to your daily working comfort.

Do you mainly work on larger projects outside the city? Then a long double cab is more interesting. You have more loading space for materials, which means you don't have to drive back and forth as often. The longer loading bed also makes it easier to transport long materials such as beams or profiles.

A concrete example: as a painter, you often work in residential areas with limited parking spaces. A short cab fits more easily and you don't load extremely heavy loads anyway. As a contractor with larger renovations, you benefit from that extra loading space for various materials and larger tools.

The manoeuvrability differs noticeably. A short wheelbase has a smaller turning circle, which makes turning and reversing in tight spaces easier. If you regularly work on busy construction sites or in old town centres, you will notice this difference every day.

Yes, a double cab van often saves considerable costs compared to multiple vehicles. After all, you only pay insurance, road tax and maintenance once, while still being able to transport your team as well as materials. The administrative burden is also lower because you only have to manage one vehicle. Whether a double cabin is the best choice for your situation depends on your team size, working area and daily transport needs.

What costs do you actually play when you have multiple vehicles?

When you have several commercial vehicles in your fleet, costs quickly pile up. You pay insurance, road tax, maintenance and MOT separately for each vehicle. There are also fuel costs and depreciation for each vehicle.

The insurance premium for a commercial vehicle averages between EUR 800 and EUR 1,500 per year, depending on the type of cover and use. Road tax for a van up to 3,500 kg is around 120 to 180 euros per quarter. That means that for two vehicles, you can easily spend an extra 480 to 720 euros per year on road tax alone.

Maintenance and MOT are also recurring costs. An average maintenance package will cost you between 300 and 600 euros per year per vehicle. The MOT costs around 50 to 70 euros, but any repairs can add to that. With two vehicles, these costs obviously double.

Don't forget the administrative burden either. Each vehicle requires its own paperwork, registration certificate, insurance papers and maintenance records. This takes time and energy that would be better invested in your business. For many entrepreneurs, this is an underestimated cost that does weigh on the overall business.

Depreciation is another factor you should not underestimate. On average, a company car depreciates 15 to 20 per cent per year. With two vehicles of 20,000 euros each, you will therefore lose 6,000 to 8,000 euros in value annually, compared to 3,000 to 4,000 euros with one vehicle.

What are the direct cost benefits of a double cab?

A double-cab van combines passenger transport and material transport in one vehicle, so you only pay the fixed costs once. You have one insurance premium, one road tax and one maintenance contract. This results in immediate savings of hundreds or even thousands of euros per year.

Let's make it concrete with a calculation example. Suppose you are considering buying two separate vehicles: a passenger car for your team and a van for materials. The annual cost would then look something like this:

• Insurance: 2 × 1,200 euros = 2,400 euros
• Road tax: 2 × 600 euros = 1,200 euros
• Maintenance and MOT: 2 × 450 euros = 900 euros
• Total: €4,500 per year

With one double cab, you pay:

• Insurance: €1,400 (slightly higher due to larger vehicle)
• Road tax: 650 euros
• Maintenance and MOT: 500 euros
• Total: €2,550 per year

That is a savings of almost 2,000 euros per year on just the fixed costs. Over a period of five years, that quickly saves 10,000 euros, money you can invest in growing your business.

It also lightens the administrative burden. You only have one registration number to manage, one insurance policy to keep track of and one maintenance schedule to follow. This saves you time and prevents you from overlooking things. For many entrepreneurs, this simplification is at least as valuable as the direct financial savings.

Depreciation is also more favourable. Instead of having two vehicles that both depreciate, you only have one. Although a double cab can be slightly more expensive to buy, the total depreciation over the years is lower than with two separate vehicles. Moreover, the residual value of a well-maintained double cab often remains stable, as these vehicles are popular in the second-hand market.

When is a double cab the best choice for your business?

A double cabin is especially cost-effective when you regularly travel to project sites with a small team and need to carry tools or materials at the same time. Think of construction companies, installers, landscaping companies or maintenance companies where two to five employees work together.

Team size plays an important role. With a double cab, you can comfortably transport four to six people, depending on the model. If you work with a larger team, you may still need to use multiple vehicles. If you usually work alone or with a maximum of one colleague, then a single cab with more cargo space may be more practical and cheaper.

Your working area also matters. If you mainly drive locally and regionally, then a double cab is ideal. Your team will get in together, drive to the job and have all the necessary equipment immediately to hand. For companies working nationwide or internationally, where employees often travel separately, the flexibility of multiple vehicles can sometimes be more convenient.

The type of work also determines whether a double cab will fit. For jobs where you need to transport a lot of material, you need to look carefully at the cargo space. A double cabin logically has less loading space than a long single cabin because of the extra row of seats. If you mainly transport tools and smaller materials, this is not a problem. If you regularly need to carry large or bulky goods, then a single cab with a larger cargo space may be a better fit.

Flexibility is another concern. With one double cab, you are dependent on that one vehicle. If it is under maintenance or breaks down unexpectedly, your whole team is at a standstill. If you have two vehicles, you can continue working in such a situation. For companies where continuity is important, it may be wise to have a smaller reserve in addition to a double cab.

Also think about the future. Is your business growing rapidly and do you expect to take on more employees soon? Then a double cab now could be a smart investment that scales with your growth. If, on the other hand, you plan to downsize or outsource more, it might be wiser to opt for a simpler and cheaper vehicle.

A double-cab van is a commercial vehicle consisting of two rows of seats, allowing you to transport both staff and equipment. In practice, this means you have a second row of seats behind the driver and co-driver for additional passengers. The cargo area is located behind this double cab, separate from the seats. This type of van combines the comfort of passenger transport with the practical loading capacity you need for tools and materials.

What is the difference between a single and double cab van?

The main difference is in the number of seats and the ratio of passenger to cargo space. A single-cab van has one row of seats with room for up to three people (driver plus two passengers). The entire space behind this row of seats is available for cargo. In a double cab van, you have two rows of seats, which means you can carry more people, but sacrifice some cargo space.

In practice, you see this difference mainly in daily use. With a single cabin, you maximise the loading capacity, which is useful if you mainly transport goods and are rarely on the road with a whole team. You choose the double cab if you regularly drive several colleagues to project sites and want everyone to travel in comfort.

Another practical difference is the separation between working and sitting space. With a double cab, the cab stays cleaner because tools, materials and dirty work remain in the separate cargo area. With a single cab, everything is closer together, which means your cab can get dirty faster if you regularly transport dusty or dirty materials.

What type of work is a double cab van best suited for?

A double cab van is ideal for businesses where team transport and equipment transport go hand in hand. Think of construction companies driving a crew of four to six to a building site, complete with tools and materials. Instead of using multiple vehicles, solve it with one van.

Installation companies also benefit greatly from this type of van. A mechanic rarely drives alone, and with a double cab you take colleagues along while you carry toolboxes, pipework and other supplies in the cargo space. The same goes for landscaping companies that work with a team and need to transport garden tools, plants and materials.

Service companies in engineering, such as electricians or plumbers who work with several mechanics, often opt for a double cab. You drive to customer sites together, save fuel costs by not having to drive multiple cars, and still have enough space for your professional equipment. For transport companies purely focused on goods transport without staff, a single cab is usually more suitable.

How many people can you carry in a double cab van?

In a double cab van, you can usually six to seven people transport, including the driver. The most common configuration is three seats in the front and three or four seats in the second row of seats. The exact capacity depends on the make and model you choose.

In terms of safety, every seat must have an approved seat belt. This is required by law and is also checked during the MOT inspection. All occupants must be able to sit safely with a three-point seat belt, which means that you cannot just let extra people ride on the cargo floor.

For business use, it is good to know that your company car can stay up to 3500 kg if you stay within this weight class. This means you can drive with a normal B driving licence. Do pay attention to the maximum load capacity: the more people you take with you, the less weight you can carry in terms of materials and tools without exceeding the permitted total mass.

What are the pros and cons of a double cab van?

The biggest advantages lie in the versatility and cost efficiency. You solve team transport and material transport with one vehicle, which means you need fewer vehicles in your fleet. This saves costs for purchase, insurance, road tax and maintenance. Moreover, you drive to project sites with one vehicle instead of several, which saves fuel costs and makes parking easier.

Another advantage is the comfort for your team. Everyone sits comfortably with plenty of legroom, and the separate cargo area ensures that the cabin remains clean and pleasant. Employees appreciate this, especially on longer trips to customer sites or projects.

The disadvantages are mainly practical. You lose cargo space compared to a single cab, which means you can carry fewer materials or tools. For companies that need to transport large volumes, this can be a problem. Fuel consumption is also higher due to the extra weight of the double cab and passengers. Finally, the purchase price is higher than for a comparable single-cab van.

So you need to carefully weigh up what is more important for your operations: maximum cargo capacity or the ability to take your whole team with you. For many companies, the convenience of travelling together outweighs the loss of cargo space.

In a van double cab fit as standard 5 to 6 people. Most models have three seats in the front and two to three seats in the second row of seats. This makes the double cab ideal for companies that regularly travel with a team and need to carry tools or materials at the same time. Below, we answer the key questions on capacity, use and the differences with other vans.

What exactly is a double cab van?

A van double cab is a commercial vehicle with two full rows of seats. There are three seats in the front (driver plus two passengers) and space in the rear for another two to three people. Behind the second row of seats is a cargo area for materials, tools or other business items.

The big difference from an ordinary van is the separate layout. You have a full passenger compartment with doors on both sides, allowing everyone to get in and out comfortably. The cargo area is behind the cabin, sometimes with separate access via rear doors or a hatch.

Companies choose this configuration because it allows them to transport their team and equipment in one trip. Think of installers going to a job with four people, or landscapers driving to different locations with their tools and some equipment. You save fuel, time and parking space by not having to drive multiple vehicles.

Most double cabs fall under 3,500 kg, allowing you to drive them with an ordinary B driving licence. They combine the comfort of a passenger car with the practical loading capacity of a van.

How many people fit in a double cab as standard?

Standard fit 5 to 6 people in a van double cab. The front row always seats three people, including the driver. The back row usually has two or three seats, depending on the make and model you choose.

Models with two rear seats often give you more legroom and comfort per person. Variants with three rear seats are practical if you regularly drive with a larger team, but seating space will be a bit tighter. All seats have compulsory seatbelts and meet legal safety requirements.

The capacity is listed in the registration certificate under “number of seats”. You cannot legally exceed this number, even for short journeys. Always check this before buying or leasing a double cab, so you can be sure your whole team can come along.

Some brands offer different configurations for the same basic model. You can then choose between a 5-seater or 6-seater version when you buy, depending on what better suits your daily tasks. The choice also affects comfort on longer journeys.

What is the difference between a double cab and a single cab van?

The main difference is in the seats and cargo space. A single cab has only a front row of seats with usually two or three seats. The entire space behind the front seats is available for cargo. In the case of a double cabin sacrifice some of that cargo space for a second row of seats.

For cargo capacity, this makes a marked difference. A single cab often has 1.5 to 2 times more cargo space than a double cab of the same model. If you mainly transport materials, tools or goods and rarely drive with more than two people, a single cab is more practical.

Do you regularly pick with a team of three or more? Then the double cab is the better option. You save on fuel costs and time by not having to drive multiple vehicles. Plus, your tools and equipment remain safely separated from the passenger compartment.

The purchase price of a double cab is usually slightly higher than that of a single cab. This is due to the extra seats, doors and finish of the passenger compartment. Weigh this against the savings on extra vehicles and the flexibility you get for team transport.

For which businesses is a double cab van ideal?

A van double cab is perfect for companies regularly travelling with a team. Construction companies, installers, painters and maintenance companies benefit from the ability to transport four to six people plus tools in one trip.

Gardeners and landscapers often use double cabs because they drive a small team to different locations. You have enough space for your people as well as for the tools you need that day. The separate loading area prevents dirt and materials from contaminating the cab.

This type of van is also practical for technical service providers such as electricians, plumbers and HVAC mechanics. You can take colleagues along for bigger jobs, while having standard tools and materials with you at all times. This makes you flexible and efficient in your planning.

Facility services, catering companies and event organisers often choose double cabs when they need to transport staff and belongings to venues. The combination of passenger transport and cargo space makes it possible to get everything and everyone to the right place in one trip.

Are you often on the road alone or with at most one colleague and do you mainly transport materials? Then a single cab probably suits your way of working better. Analyse your daily trips and team size to make the right choice.

Yes, leasing a double cab offers interesting tax advantages for business owners. You can fully deduct the leasing costs from your profit, reducing your taxable income. For business use, you benefit from VAT deduction on the lease payments, and the addition for private use is often favourable when the double cab is classified as a van. This combination makes leasing fiscally attractive for sole traders and SMEs who want to finance their company car smartly.

What are the tax advantages of leasing a double cab?

Leasing a van double cab gives you three major tax advantages. Your leasing costs are fully deductible as business expenses, reducing your taxable profit. You can reclaim the VAT on your monthly lease payments if you are a VAT entrepreneur. And with business use, you pay little to no additional taxable benefit for private use, especially if your double cab is considered a van by the tax authorities.

For sole traders and SME entrepreneurs, this means concretely that your monthly expenses will be lower than they seem. Say you pay €500 a month for your lease. As an entrepreneur, you deduct this amount from your profit, effectively saving around 37% in tax (at the highest rate). So you actually pay around €315 per month.

The difference between business use and private additional taxable benefit is important. With full business use, you do not have to pay any additional taxable benefit at all. If you also use the double cab privately, then the additional taxable benefit depends on how the tax authorities classify your vehicle. A double cabin that counts as a delivery van has a low additional taxable benefit of only 2,700 euros per year. This is much more advantageous than passenger cars, where you have to add a percentage of the catalogue value.

Interest under financial lease is also tax deductible. With an interest rate of around 9.5%, the investment deduction of 28% gives you an effective interest rate of around 6.2%. This makes leasing more financially attractive than it seems at first glance.

How does the additional tax liability work for a leased double cab?

The additional tax rate for a leased double cab depends on whether your vehicle is considered a van or a passenger car. For a van, you pay an fixed addition of 2,700 euros per year, regardless of the value of your double cab. With a passenger car, you pay 22% of the catalogue value per year as an additional tax. This difference can save thousands of euros per year.

The tax authorities look at specific criteria to determine whether your double cab qualifies as a van. Your vehicle must meet these conditions: the cargo area must cover at least 50% of the total floor area, the cargo area must be separated from the cab by a fixed wall or trellis, and the cargo area must be freely accessible without moving seats.

For many modern double cabs, this classification is not automatic. Some models have a cabin that is too large in relation to the cargo area, resulting in them being classified as passenger cars. This has major tax implications. A double cab with a list value of 40,000 euros will cost you an additional 8,800 euros per year as a passenger car, while as a van you will pay only 2,700 euros.

You can check in advance whether your desired double cab counts as a van by checking the RDW data. If it says “van” or “company car” by the vehicle, you will benefit from the low additional taxable benefit. If in doubt, you can request a final assessment from the tax authorities before leasing.

What VAT benefits do you get when leasing a double cab?

As a VAT entrepreneur, you can reclaim VAT on your lease payments, reducing your monthly expenses by 21%. For a lease amount of €500 per month, you effectively pay €413, as you get €87 VAT back via your VAT return. This benefit applies to both financial leasing and operational leasing, as long as you use the double cab for business.

The difference between financial and operational leases for VAT purposes is limited. With both forms, you can deduct VAT on the monthly payments. At financial lease you own the vehicle from the first payment and the car is on your balance sheet. The VAT deduction works the same, but you have more flexibility in how you depreciate and use the vehicle.

Maximise VAT benefits by using your double cab for business purposes only. In case of mixed use (business and private), you can only deduct the VAT on the business part. The tax authorities are critical of private use of company cars, so make sure you can substantiate this with a trip administration.

Note that you cannot reclaim VAT if you are not a VAT entrepreneur or if you use the small entrepreneurs scheme (KOR). In those cases, you pay the full lease amount including VAT, which makes leasing less attractive. However, VAT deduction is possible for most entrepreneurs with a double cab van, as they are VAT liable.

When is leasing more fiscally advantageous than buying a double cab?

Leasing is more fiscally advantageous when cash flow is important to you and you don't want to invest a large lump sum. When you buy, you pay a large amount immediately, while with leasing, you pay a fixed monthly amount that is fully deductible. You keep liquidity in your business for other investments or unexpected expenses.

From a depreciation perspective, leasing also has advantages. When buying, you have to depreciate the double cab over several years according to fixed rules, making your administration more complex. With leasing, you simply deduct the full monthly amount as business expenses. This is simpler and gives you an immediate tax advantage, rather than spread over years.

Operational costs also play a role. With financial leasing, you pay a fixed monthly amount with a fixed interest rate throughout the term. You know exactly where you stand and can budget easily. With purchasing, you have to deal with depreciation, unexpected repairs and varying maintenance costs that are harder to predict.

Buying can be more advantageous if you want to keep the double cab for a long time and you have enough capital. After full repayment, you will have no monthly costs except maintenance and insurance. For business owners who use their company car for at least 8-10 years and do not value a newer model regularly, buying is more financially attractive in the long run.

The choice depends on your situation. Growing companies that prefer to invest their capital in their core business often choose leasing. Established entrepreneurs with sufficient reserves and a preference for ownership are more likely to choose purchase.

A double-cab van typically has a load capacity of between 500 and 1,200 kilograms, depending on the make, model and version. The extra seats in the double cab reduce the load capacity compared to a single cab, as the weight of the cab and passengers counts. It is important to look at the technical specifications of the specific model and take into account the number of passengers and the extra options you choose.

What is the difference between cargo capacity and payload in a double cab?

Load capacity refers to the physical space in the cargo space of your double-cab van, expressed in cubic metres or litres. Payload, on the other hand, indicates the maximum weight you can carry, expressed in kilograms. This is the difference between the permitted total weight and the empty weight of the vehicle, including driver, passengers and fuel.

The distinction between these two concepts is practically important. For example, you may have a cargo space big enough for your materials, but if those materials are too heavy, you exceed the allowed payload. It can also be the other way around: you still have room left in weight, but your cargo space is already full. This is especially relevant for a double-cab van, as the extra seats and passengers already eat up part of the payload.

When calculating the payload, you subtract the empty weight (including driver, passengers and fuel) from the maximum permitted total weight. An example: if your van has a total weight of 3,500 kg and an empty weight of 2,300 kg (with full tank and driver), you have a payload of 1,200 kg. Are you sitting with five people in the double cab? Then add about 400 kg extra to the unladen weight, and you're left with 800 kg for your cargo.

The difference between theoretical capacity and actual usable space is common. On paper, the payload may seem ample, but in practice, accessories such as a towbar, roof rack or extra equipment also take up weight. These options reduce the available payload as they increase the empty weight.

How many kilos can you load in a double cab van?

Most popular double-cab van models have a payload between 500 and 1,200 kilograms. The exact capacity depends on the make, engine version and options chosen. A lighter engine and base version usually provide more payload capacity than a heavier diesel engine with luxury options and four-wheel drive.

The double cab itself affects payload. The extra row of seats and the longer body add weight, at the expense of what you can load. Compared to a single cabin of the same model, you lose 200 to 400 kilograms of payload capacity on average. This is the price you pay for the comfort of extra seats.

A practical calculation example: suppose you have a Ford Transit Custom double cab with a total weight of 3,200 kg and an unladen weight of 2,100 kg. Without passengers, you theoretically have 1,100 kg of payload. Are you driving with four colleagues (80 kg per person on average)? Then 320 kg is subtracted, leaving you with 780 kg for materials and tools.

Factors that affect the payload include the engine version (a heavier engine increases the empty weight), the options chosen such as air conditioning or an automatic transmission, and fitted accessories. For example, a towbar adds 20 to 30 kg, a roof rack can weigh 40 to 60 kg, and sidebars will cost you another 30 to 50 kg. These small additions accumulate and reduce your actual load capacity.

How do you calculate whether you have enough loading capacity for your business?

Start by taking stock of your typical daily loads. Make a list of the materials, tools and equipment you regularly transport, and weigh or estimate their weight. Don't forget to include the weight of packaging, pallets or crates. Add the weight of your colleagues who travel with you in the double cab as standard.

Take future growth into account. As your business expands, you might take on more materials or get heavier assignments. So choose a double-cab van that is not only adequate now, but will still be suitable in a year or two. A margin of 10 to 20 per cent extra payload gives you flexibility without having to invest in a heavier vehicle right away.

Note the legislation. In the Netherlands, an ordinary B driving licence allows you to drive vehicles up to 3,500 kg total weight. If you exceed this, you will need a different driving licence. Also check whether your company car is BPM-free, which applies to vehicles up to 3,500 kg used primarily for goods transport. Overloading can have legal consequences, such as fines and points on your driving licence.

Safety also plays a role. An overloaded van brakes worse, steers less stably and wears out faster. Make sure you always stay within the permitted limits, not only to avoid fines, but also to protect yourself, your colleagues and other road users. Weigh your vehicle regularly, especially after fitting new accessories or changes in your daily load.

What happens if you overload a double cab van?

Overloading your double-cab van brings significant risks with it. Braking distances become longer, stability decreases and the risk of tyre blowouts or suspension damage increases. In an emergency stop or sudden manoeuvre, an overloaded van can react unpredictably, creating dangerous situations.

Legally, you risk a hefty fine if you are checked. The police and the Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) carry out regular checks, where overloading can result in fines of hundreds to thousands of euros, depending on the degree of overloading. For serious offences, they may even require you to reduce the load on the spot before you are allowed to continue driving.

Your insurance can cause problems when you are overloaded. If you get into an accident while your van is overloaded, the insurer may deny or reduce benefits. This means you are left to pay for the damage to your vehicle, cargo and any other parties involved. Your insurance cover often depends on complying with legal requirements.

The impact on your vehicle is significant. Overloading accelerates the wear of brakes, tyres, suspension and transmission. Tyres can overheat and tear, brake discs wear faster, and the suspension can suffer permanent damage. These repairs not only cost money, but also cause your commercial vehicle to break down, disrupting your operations.

To avoid overloading, there are some practical steps you can take. Weigh your vehicle regularly at a public weighbridge, especially after adding accessories or when changes are made to your standard load. Keep a log of the weight of your fixed equipment and materials so you always know how much room you have left. Check your tyre pressure and the state of your suspension, as these often signal if you are structurally overloading.

Yes, you can definitely fit a refrigeration system in a double-cab van. It does require careful thought, because you are dealing with less cargo space than with a single cab. This is because the second row of seats takes up some of the available space. Nevertheless, it is technically quite possible to realise a professional refrigeration system, provided you take into account the right insulation, the available weight and the connection to your vehicle's electrical facilities.

What are the technical options for a refrigeration system in a double cabin?

A refrigeration system in a van double cab is technically easy to implement by insulating the cargo space behind the second row of seats and equipping it with a refrigeration system. The cargo space will be fitted with insulation panels to walls, floor and ceiling to keep the temperature stable. You connect the cooling system to your vehicle's battery or alternator, with modern generators often using a separate battery to conserve the main battery.

With a double cab, you have less cargo space than with a single cab, because the second row of seats takes up space. This means you need to think carefully about the layout. The cooling system itself also takes up space, especially if you opt for an aggregate mounted on the outside. Some systems are placed at the front of the cargo area, others at the rear or even underneath the vehicle.

The electrical connection is an important issue. Modern commercial vehicles have CAN bus systems that control the vehicle's electronics. This means you need to have your cooling system professionally connected to avoid problems with the on-board computer. Many cooling systems run on 12V or 24V, depending on your vehicle, and some can also run on 230V when connected to the mains.

What is possible: full insulation of the cargo space, installation of different types of refrigeration systems and adaptation of the cargo space layout to your needs. What is not possible: refrigeration to below -25 degrees without heavy professional installation, and fitting a refrigeration system without affecting your payload and available space.

What types of refrigeration systems can you choose for a double cabin?

For a double cab, you can choose from several cooling systems, from simple cool boxes to professional generators. Mechanical cooling with a compressor is the most common option for professional use. This system works via an aggregate mounted on the outside of the cargo space and can reach temperatures from -20 to +12 degrees Celsius. Energy consumption is higher, but cooling capacity is excellent.

Electric cooling works via a thermal cooler or a small generator that runs directly on your vehicle's battery. This is suitable for light cooling between 0 and +8 degrees and uses less energy. The downside is that the cooling capacity is limited and the system draws power continuously from your battery, which can cause problems when your engine is not running.

A third option is eutectic cooling, where a cooling plate is frozen while your vehicle is stationary or connected to the mains. This plate then keeps the cargo space cool while driving, without putting extra strain on your engine. This system is economical and reliable, but you need to plan in advance when you will freeze the plate.

The choice depends on what you want to transport and how long your products need to stay cool. For fresh products that need to stay cool for a few hours, an electric cooler is often sufficient. For days of chilled transport or deep-freezing, you need a mechanical generator. Energy consumption ranges from around 50 watts for a small cooler to 2000 watts for a large mechanical aggregate.

What should you pay attention to when installing refrigeration in a double cab?

The main concern is the available cargo space after fitting the second row of seats. A double cab already has less cargo space than a single cab, and the insulation and cooling system take up additional space. Therefore, measure carefully how much net cargo space you are left with and whether this is sufficient for your daily use.

Weight distribution and the maximum allowable weight are important. A refrigeration system with insulation quickly weighs 100 to 300 kilos, depending on the size and type of system. This weight comes at the expense of your payload. Therefore, always check the permissible total weight of your vehicle and calculate how much load capacity you will have left after installing the refrigeration system.

Ventilation and condensation drainage are technical points not to be forgotten. A cooling system produces heat on the outside and moisture on the inside. Ensure good ventilation of the unit and a drain for condensation water, otherwise you will have problems with rust and mould.

Accessibility for maintenance is practically important. A refrigeration system needs regular maintenance, such as checking the refrigerant and cleaning filters. Make sure you or your technician can easily access parts for service and repairs.

Certification and inspection are required by law for commercial refrigerated transport. If you transport perishables for third parties, you must comply with ATP certification. Your vehicle must also be re-inspected after conversion, as the modifications will affect the registration certificate. Ask your conversion company for the right papers and make sure everything is done according to the regulations.

A double cab van typically has a length of 5 to 6 metres, a width of about 1.8 to 2 metres and a height that varies depending on the model. The cargo space is shorter than for a single cab (often between 1.5 and 2.5 metres cargo length), as the extra seats take up space. Exact dimensions vary by make, wheelbase and roof height, but these vehicles combine comfortable passenger transport for up to six people with practical loading capacity for materials and tools.

What are the standard dimensions of a double cab van?

The standard dimensions of a double-cab van are usually between 5 and 6 metres in length, with a width of 1.8 to 2 metres and a height of around 1.9 to 2.2 metres. These sizes are fairly consistent between different brands such as Ford, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot. The overall length depends heavily on the wheelbase, with short variants being closer to 5 metres and long versions heading towards 6 metres.

With a short wheelbase, you have a more compact van that manoeuvres more easily in town and on tight work sites. This version is ideal for installers or gardeners who regularly work in residential areas. The long wheelbase offers more cargo space and is suitable for industries where you need to transport larger materials or more tools, such as construction or larger technical service providers.

The height of your van double cab determines how much standing room you have in the cargo area. A standard roof height is usually sufficient for toolboxes and materials, while a high roof is useful if you are transporting standing objects or large equipment. Just be aware that a higher roof will affect fuel consumption and parking access.

How much cargo space do you have left with a double cab?

With a double cab, you have considerably less loading space than with a single cab, as the second row of seats takes up space. The load length usually varies between 1.5 and 2.5 metres, depending on the wheelbase. The loading width remains similar to a single cab (about 1.5 to 1.7 metres between the wheel arches), but the overall loading volume can be as much as 30 to 40 per cent smaller.

The load capacity is usually between 500 and 1,200 kilograms, which is sufficient for tools, materials and smaller equipment. For industries such as technical services, maintenance companies or smaller construction projects, this is ample. You can think of toolboxes, ladders, smaller machines and daily necessities for a team of three to six people.

The separate seat and cargo area ensures that your cabin remains clean and comfortable, while tools and materials are transported safely and dry. This is practical for teams who regularly travel together to project sites. You don't have to choose between passenger transport or material transport, but combine both functions in one vehicle.

What factors influence the dimensions of your double cab?

The make and model determine the basic dimensions of your van double cab. Each brand has its own design philosophy, with some focusing on maximum cargo space and others on driving comfort and legroom for passengers. Models such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit or Volkswagen Transporter each have their own proportions between cabin and cargo space.

The wheelbase has the biggest impact on overall length and load capacity. A short wheelbase (usually around 3 metres) results in a compact van that is more manoeuvrable but offers less load length. A long wheelbase (up to 4 metres or more) gives you more cargo space, but makes the vehicle more difficult to park and less suitable for narrow streets.

The roof height determines how much standing room you have in the cargo area. A normal roof is often sufficient for flat materials and toolboxes. A high or extra-high roof is useful if you regularly transport standing objects or want to be able to stand in the cargo space. Specific body variants such as box trucks or refrigerated trucks have different dimensions to suit their function.

How do you choose the right dimensions for your business?

Start with the type of work that you do. An installer has different needs than a construction company or landscaping company. If you work mainly in town with tight parking spaces and narrow streets, choose a short wheelbase with standard roof height. For logistics work or larger projects where you need to transport a lot of materials, a long wheelbase with high roof is more practical.

The number of employees that regularly ride along is important. A double cabin can accommodate five to six people, but if you usually drive with two or three, you have more flexibility. Also consider comfort during longer journeys. Sufficient legroom and seating comfort increase productivity and reduce fatigue in your team.

Consider the parking facilities on your premises and with customers. A 6-metre van will not fit everywhere where a 5-metre variant will. Also check access to work sites such as construction sites, industrial estates or residential areas. A more compact van double cab gives you more freedom, while a larger variant offers more capacity but may have limitations.

Industries like construction often opt for long wheelbase models with high roof for maximum load capacity. Technical service providers such as installers or maintenance companies usually go for a short to medium wheelbase with standard roof height, as they seek a good balance between cargo space and manoeuvrability. Gardeners and facility services have similar preferences, with the emphasis on practical daily use.

What is a financial lease and how is it different from other forms of lease?

Financial lease is a popular option for companies that do not want to incur a large one-off expense to buy a company car. With this form of lease, you pay a fixed monthly fee, making you the immediate economic owner of the vehicle. At the end of the lease period, you become full owner.

The difference with other lease forms, such as operating lease and short lease, lies mainly in the ownership structure. With operating lease, the leasing company remains the owner of the car and you hand it back after the lease period. Short lease offers flexible term options, but often at higher monthly costs. Financial lease on the other hand, offers the security of ownership after the lease period.

Which insurances are mandatory with a financial lease?

With a financial lease, it is compulsory to take out at least third-party insurance for your company car. This insurance covers damage you cause to others with your vehicle. It is important to know that WA insurance is a legal requirement in the Netherlands.

In addition to third-party insurance, you can opt for additional policies such as hull insurance, which also covers damage to your own vehicle, or passenger insurance for extra protection for passengers. These additional insurances are not compulsory but may be wise depending on your specific situation.

How is the insurance premium determined?

The premium for commercial vehicle insurance is influenced by several factors. The value of the commercial vehicle plays a big role, as does the type of cover you choose. More comprehensive cover such as all-risk will usually have a higher premium than just third-party cover.

In addition, the driver's claim history affects the premium. Drivers with no damage history can often count on a lower premium. Your age, driving experience and the region where you live can also affect the amount of the premium.

What happens if the lease car is damaged?

If you sustain damage with your leased car, it is important to report it to the leasing company and the insurer as soon as possible. They will guide you through the claim settlement process. This usually starts by filling in a claim form in which you describe the circumstances of the incident.

The leasing company and insurer will then determine who is responsible for the cost of the damage. Depending on your insurance, all or part of the damage may be reimbursed. It is always a good idea to check the terms of your lease contract and insurance policy beforehand, so you know exactly where you stand in case of damage.

Can I choose my own insurer with financial leasing?

With financial leasing, you often have the freedom to choose your own insurer. This can be advantageous if you already have a good relationship with an insurer or if you have specific requirements that are not offered by the leasing company. However, it is important to check if there are any restrictions from the leasing company.

It may also be that the leasing company offers an attractive insurance package that is fully aligned with the lease terms. In that case, it is good to compare the costs and coverages of the different options so that you can make an informed choice that best suits your situation.

At Van den Hurk Bedrijfswagens, we understand that every entrepreneur has unique needs. That's why we offer flexible financial lease options to suit your specific situation. Whether you are self-employed or run a large business, we will make sure you hit the road with the right company car.

What is financial leasing?

Financial lease is a popular way to finance a commercial vehicle without making a large initial investment. This type of lease allows business owners to use a vehicle in exchange for a fixed monthly payment. Unlike operating lease, where the leasing company retains ownership of the vehicle, with financial lease you become the economic owner of the commercial vehicle from the moment you start paying.

The difference with other forms of lease is mainly in the ownership structure. With financial leasing, ownership of the vehicle falls to you at the end of the lease period, meaning that you have full ownership at the end of the contract. This makes it an attractive option for business owners looking for a long-term investment in their fleet.

Why do self-employed people choose financial leasing?

For self-employed people, financial leasing offers numerous advantages. One of the main reasons self-employed people choose this option is the flexibility it offers. After all, you do not have to put down a large sum of money all at once, which keeps your working capital free for other business activities. Also, monthly costs are predictable, which makes budgeting easier.

Moreover, there are tax benefits to be gained. The interest from the financial lease is tax-deductible, reducing the effective cost. At the end of the lease, you fully own the company car, allowing you to benefit from the residual value or choose to trade the vehicle back in for a new lease.

How does financial leasing for company cars work?

The process of financial leasing for commercial vehicles is relatively simple. After you select a suitable commercial vehicle, a lease contract is drawn up. This contract specifies the term, monthly payments and any final instalment. It is important to note that you are considered the economic owner of the vehicle from the first payment.

The application process is usually quick and easy, meaning you don't have to wait weeks for approval. With us, you can even trade in your current car, which can help reduce costs further. The final instalment at the end of the lease offers extra flexibility; you can choose to trade in the car or pay the final instalment and take full ownership.

What are the costs and conditions of financial leasing?

The cost of a financial lease depends on several factors, including the commercial vehicle chosen, the term of the contract and the amount of the final instalment. Interest is an important part of the cost and is usually around 9.5% annually. However, thanks to tax deductions, the actual interest rate can be lower.

Besides the costs, there are also certain conditions you need to meet. For instance, it is important to have a stable financial situation and, if necessary, you can make a down payment to reduce the monthly charges. Make sure you fully understand the terms of the lease contract before signing it.

What are the risks associated with financial leasing?

As with any financial commitment, there are risks associated with financial leasing. One of the biggest risks is that you remain responsible for payments even if your business faces financial setbacks. So it is important to make a realistic assessment of your future income and expenses.

It is also important to realise that the company car will appear on your company's balance sheet, which may affect your financial structure. Finally, when the lease contract ends, you may have to deal with a final instalment to be paid, unless you choose to trade in the car.

How to choose the right financial lease option?

Choosing the right financial lease option starts with identifying your specific needs and budget. Consider factors such as the term of the lease, the type of vehicle you want to lease, and the expected growth of your business. It can also be useful to consider how much you are willing to put on to reduce monthly costs.

It is also wise to compare different leasing options and seek advice from a financial adviser if necessary. You can come to us for personal advice and tailor-made solutions to suit your specific situation. This way, we ensure that you get the right company car on the road, without hindering your financial freedom.
