Who Can Drive a Luton Van?
The quick answer is yes — most people can drive a Luton van without any additional testing. However, the exact licence you hold determines what you’re legally allowed to drive, so it’s important to check before you hit the road.
If you passed your driving test before 1st January 1997, you’re entitled to drive a Luton van and larger 7.5 tonne vehicles without taking an additional test. This can be confirmed by checking the rear of your licence or using the official online licence checker.
If you passed your driving test on or after 1st January 1997, you can drive vehicles up to 3,500kg (3.5 tonnes) — meaning you can drive a standard Luton van with a Category B licence. For heavier 7.5 tonne trucks, you’ll need a Category C1 licence.
Our team can advise which vehicle is best suited to your shipment and licence type when you book.
