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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For continental land transit the hauliers liability to you, the owner of the goods, is calculated at around £8 per KG. Additional insurance up to £10k coverage can be purchased for £20, and for higher value goods we will provide you a bespoke quotation.

  • As the roads and ferries can be unpredictable we do not guarantee delivery timescales however we do work hard to ensure rapid transit where required.

  • Yes. To ensure smooth transit it may be necessary to discuss access and timings with our service personnel and we can ensure that a tail lift vehicle is used where required.

  • 'Standard Pallets' are 120x100cm and 'Euro Pallets' are 120x80cm. Anything bigger than this would be classed as oversized or if your goods overhang the pallet (not recommended unless the goods are sturdy) it would also be classed as oversized. If possible it is best to keep the height to a maximum of 220cm as anything taller may not fit through the doors of many standard vehicles. Our oversized pallet quotes are calculated on the exact measurements of your load so you will not pay for more space that you use.

  • Typically 5 working days is a good rule of thumb for most western European countries.

  • For domestic pallets and Exports, we can sometimes collect same day If booked before 10am. On most occasions though collection will be next working day and for Imports it is best to allow 2 days.

  • If your goods can be moved by hand (small and lightweight) or by forklift then it may not be necessary to put them onto a pallet. Typically though a pallet is essential for transit.
