Towing with a car
If you obtained your driving licence after 1997 and you want to tow a horse box, caravan or large trailer over 750kg you are legally required to obtain a B+E licence.
Towing Rules
The government website offers a great tool where you can find out if you’re old enough or have the right kind of licence to tow a trailer from different kinds of vehicles or simply give us a call with your information and we can help you.
A full car licence already lets you tow trailers weighing no more than 750 kg. You can also tow heavier trailers with a car as long as the total weight of vehicle and trailer isn’t more than 3,500 kg. The fully loaded trailer must also not be heavier than the unladen vehicle (this only applies to licences issued before 19 January 2013).
For vehicles weights explained please see – https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-weights-explained
