My long wheelbase Citroen Relay decided its time for a new injector pump a couple of days ago so I've hired a small Fiat Doblo van for the week to get me around. The most important factor this morning was whether I could get the fatlass in the back for tomorrow which didn't look likely when I opened to back doors earlier.

I put the bike in backwards and sideways and it fitted in just fine, head room was also fine even with full lock and there's plenty of tie points to hold her down.

The van drives really well,  there's plenty of room in the cab and lots of pockets/storage. Its nippy as you'd expect and incredibly quiet even at speed.

 

 

Hope this helps anyone who may hire one or is thinking of buying one.

My wife has the people carrier version. It has to be in the top ten of ugly vehicles. However its a 2003, its got something like 115k on the clock and much to my dismay runs perfectly.

They are ugly like most Fiats, this is a 2014 van and I've got to say if I could live without the space I'd have no problems buying one of these.

I just do not know how you will tie Pips down with the bike in there!
