Understanding the Different PCV Licences
If you’re considering a career driving passenger vehicles, it’s essential to understand the differences between the various categories of PCV licences. Each licence is designed for specific types of vehicles, and knowing which one suits your needs is key to your success. Here’s a breakdown of the categories we offer:
1. Category D1: Minibus Licence
Vehicle Type: Designed for vehicles that can carry between 9 and 16 passengers.
Vehicle Weight: The vehicle must not exceed 3.5 tonnes (excluding passengers and luggage).
Description: This licence is ideal for individuals who want to drive a minibus for personal, commercial, or charitable purposes. It allows you to drive vehicles like school minibuses, community transport, and other small passenger vehicles.
2. Category D1E: Minibus with Trailer Licence
Vehicle Type: The same as Category D1 but allows you to tow a trailer.
Vehicle Weight: The minibus can still carry up to 16 passengers, but you can now tow a trailer with a maximum combined weight of 3.5 tonnes.
Description: This category is ideal for driving a minibus with a trailer, such as when transporting equipment or luggage for a group of passengers.
3. Category D: Coach or Bus Licence
Vehicle Type: Designed for large vehicles that can carry more than 16 passengers (typically coaches and buses).
Vehicle Weight: There are no weight restrictions beyond the requirements for the vehicle’s class.
Description: This is the licence for those wishing to drive larger vehicles, such as coaches, tour buses, or city buses. It allows for a much greater capacity for passengers and is typically required for professional drivers working in the transport industry.
