Question 1

Can you drive a nine-seat van on a car licence in Italy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the B licence covers vehicles with up to nine seats, the driver included, and a maximum mass of 3,500 kg. The large passenger versions of the Trafic, Proace or Caravelle are built to stay within those limits.

Question 2

Which new vans are electric in Italy?

Accepted Answer

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz and the Kia PV5 are electric only. Many others, such as the Renault Kangoo, Citroën Berlingo, Toyota Proace and Opel Zafira Life, have electric versions beside the diesel or petrol ones.

Question 3

Does a passenger van pay the bollo like a car?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a van registered as a car pays the bollo on its kW and Euro class, to the owner's region, like any car. The IPT on its registration is likewise set by the kW and the buyer's province.

Question 4

Is it better to buy a new or a used van in Italy?

Accepted Answer

A new van has the factory warranty and can be ordered with the seats, doors and length you need. On a used one, check the sliding doors and the seat rails, which take the most wear on a family or shuttle van.
