Van Life in Ireland: Cost, Tech, and Survival | Cork News
Description
Van registrations in Ireland surged seven percent last year, hitting over 32,700 units as tradespeople, farmers, and delivery drivers keep investing in these essential workhorses—especially in rural areas where transport is scarce. But the real challenge? Fuel costs alone can hit €3,500–€4,500 annually, plus rising maintenance and compliance fees. Breakdowns in remote locations mean lost income that dwarfs repair bills. Yet tech is helping: GPS routing and digital scheduling slash mileage, while electric vans offer lower running costs—even if rural charging remains a hurdle. For these mobile entrepreneurs, every kilometer, every service, and every smart decision counts.
