New or used fridge van: which is right for you?

We sell new and used fridge and freezer vans, and both make sense for different businesses. Here’s what you get with each, with real prices from our stock.

New fridge vans

  • Prices on our stock (October 2026): from £29,995 +VAT (a Renault Trafic SL30 chiller) to £65,495 +VAT (an electric Mercedes eSprinter freezer).
  • Cancelled orders or built to order. Cancelled factory orders are brand new with delivery miles. A van built to order is converted in 7 to 10 days once it arrives with us.
  • Your choice of spec when it’s built to order: chiller or freezer, standby, side door, curtains, partitions and more.
  • The van comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, and every fridge unit we fit has at least a 12-month warranty: 12 months on GAH and Hubbard units, 24 months on Thermo King and Zanotti.

Used fridge vans

  • Prices on our stock (October 2026): used chiller and freezer vans from £22,995 +VAT (a 2024 Ford Transit Connect) to £40,495 +VAT (a 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter L3H2 freezer).
  • Converted for you, and checked by our engineers before delivery.
  • Our used vans come with a warranty on the van (what’s left of the maker’s, or 12 months, which can be extended), plus 12 or 24 months on the fridge unit. The exception is a part-exchange van we’re clearing: those are sold as seen with no warranty, and the advert says so.

Both

  • Every advert shows whether the van is ULEZ compliant.
  • Finance for business customers, from a £500 +VAT deposit.
  • We take part exchanges and deliver anywhere in the UK.

If you’re buying a used fridge van anywhere, check…

  • the fridge pulls the load space down to temperature, and holds it with the doors shut;
  • the standby works, if it has one;
  • the insulated lining has no cracks, holes or signs of water getting in, and the door seals are sound;
  • there are service records for the van and for the fridge unit;
  • the mileage matches the van’s MOT history, which you can check free on GOV.UK.
