Suzuki Carry - Cheapest Insurance starts at £729; ranging up to a price of £1843
* If you don't get a quote - you just won't know!
The Suzuki Carry is a small van produced from 1999 to 2005. It's a strong, compact van; ideal for companies who are city or town based. The Carry is easy to manoeuvre through traffic and easy to park in tight places due to its compact shape.
Suzuki only offered a 1.3l petrol engine during the Carry's seven years of sale.
The main pro's for the Suzuki Carry is that it is compact and good value for money. The van performs better with lighter loads, so although it would not be suitable for hauling building materials around, it would be ideal for lighter loads carried by caterers or florists for example.
The con’s of this van are the lack of safety kit and the engine is a little noisy as the two interior seats are placed on top of the engine meaning the Carry may not be ideal for longer journeys at high speeds.
The Suzuki Carry is a cheap van to pick up and reasonable to run due to the small 1.3l engine; therefore falling in to a lower insurance group making it cheaper for you to insure.

Daihatsu Extol - Cheapest Insurance starts at £729; ranging up to a price of £1906
* If you don't get a quote - you just won't know!
The Daihatsu Extol is a stylish and comfortable micro van with a 1.3-litre petrol engine that can boast some 80bhp.
Some positive aspects of the Daihatsu Extol is that it gives spacious cargo bay with a cargo area measuring a full 2.2 cubic meters and a respectable payload of 615kg. Due to its sliding doors on both sides as well as a lifting tailgate on the back, the Extol has an extremely accessible loadspace.
The Extol is small on the outside meaning it has an agile turning circle and enables you to park with ease. In addition, some of the standard equipment in the Extol is a CD player, power steering, twin front airbags and central locking.
On a more negative note, the Extol can suffer with wind buffering at speed due to its rear wheel drive configuration and tall shape which can make this micro van feel a little unstable.
Finally, the Extol has a low asking price and therefore is on the lower scale when it comes to van insurance premiums.
See Daihatsu Extol information.
Small or Light Van

One a much more positive note for those with the Bipper in mind, it has a choice of two engines available. Both engines have been designed to make the van and ideal vehicle for urban driving.
