Van renting and licencing

[Robby]

At some point in the nearish future I'm going to be needing to rent a van, to move.

Now Ideally I want to rent something pretty big with a tail lift. It seems that from most of the van rental places their smallest tail lift jobby is a 3.5T luton van.

Do I need category C on my licence to drive one of these? I have cat A, B, B1, f, k, p on my driving licence.

Any license will cover you for a 3.5-tonner.

a 3.5 tonner is about the size of a flatbed transit (with TL)

A Luton with tail lift with probably be 3.5t if it's van based, if it's based on a truck style cab, or the rear axle has double wheels it's probably 7.5t. Anything up to 3.5t you can drive on a car licence, just ask the hire place you want a 3.5t with tail lift.

[colin1]

yes as pheonix says, ask the hire place

Most places will have 3.5T lutons with tail lift.

its c1 for 7.5T

and B means anything up to 3.5T

pheonix knows, as he drives big lorries, and i know, as i used to be a recruitment consultant for lorry drivers

When I was in primary school the teachers always asked us what we wanted to be when we were older. Some would say astronauts, others firemen or policemen.

But there was one kid whos dreams far surpassed ours, the bright young star in the corner, with ambition and imagination.

His name was Colin.

His dream?

To be a recruitment consultant for lorry drivers.

no its worse than that, i used to be that, im currently a bum until i can find someone else who will have me

it wasnt a bad job really. a bit low paid, but quite fun

good luck with the astronaut exams
