Driving licence C1

Do you want to drive a motorhome, a smaller truck, or perhaps an ambulance? Then the Category C1 driving license is ideal for you!

Category C1 allows you to drive motor vehicles with a total weight exceeding 3,500 kg up to 7,500 kg, and you can tow a trailer up to 750 kg. The vehicle may have a maximum of 8 seats in addition to the driver’s seat.

Who is Category C1 suitable for?

This type of license is often used by:

• motorhome and caravan drivers,
• rescuers and ambulance drivers,
• workers in logistics, delivery services, or craftsmen with a larger van.

At what age can I get a C1 driving license?

You can obtain a Category C1 driving license from the age of 18, which is the main difference compared to the standard Category C, where the minimum age is 21. This allows you to start building your professional driving career much earlier.

What is required to obtain C1?

1. The prerequisite is that you already hold a category B driving license
2. Medical report on health fitness to drive motor vehicles [PDF] (make sure you are assessed by a doctor according to Group 2, Annex No. 3 of the decree).
