White vans are often associated with criminal activities in the news:
Two reports of a white van pursuing minors
‘White van possibly getaway vehicle after murder of lawyer
‘A white van has once again cornered a young woman
This is because most delivery vans in the Netherlands are white.
There have been times when it was better not to buy a white car. White might have been the cheapest option, but when selling, you also got the least money back for a white car.
Perhaps you know the dealer's expression: ‘With a white one, you're stuck’. In other words: a white car is harder to sell. Car dealers know this better than anyone, so they will offer less for your white car than for a black or grey one.
Why are all our delivery vans white?
Because they are not passenger cars.
A white van is the most cost-effective to purchase, but more importantly, they are more profitable to sell on.
When it comes to these types of vans, the saying is more like: 'you'll be stuck with a coloured one'.
In addition, rental vans are often damaged. Drivers are often not accustomed to driving a van. Repairs to a white van are less expensive than to vans sprayed in a nice colour with a metallic finish.
Two main reasons why our rental vans are white.
We'll slap a logo on our delivery vans so we're not constantly associated with criminal activities. When I read again: White van possibly getaway vehicle I always have a quick look to see if our logo is on it. If it isn't, I think: Bugger, no free advertising again...
When we have to buy buses, I always find it amusing how manufacturers name the colour of their cars and vans.
Those are never just white.
But summit white. Or blanc banquise (ice floe white). Or pure white (what isn't pure white then?). Or bianco.
If you're moving house and sweating buckets, it might be quite nice to think about mountain peaks or ice floes.
Or if you have to go to the cold market in winter with your white van, it's lovely to think of pure white hot chocolate or a Martini Bianco.
But come on: stop with those marketing buzzwords for colours.
Or do you like moving with a white banquise removals van?
Or do you enjoy delivering goods in a white van?
Or does it drive nicer if the bus is summit white?
In that case, feel free to rent a van!
Even if you just have a white Van in the Urmond region You're welcome to rent!
