The car licence (B category) only covers small single axle trailers with a maximum allowable mass of 750kg. This would include small trailers suitable for private or domestic use e.g. transporting garden or household equipment, materials and tools. Small caravans also come into this category.

The Car/Jeep and Trailer (EB category) licence is needed for larger trailers being towed by SUVs, Vans, Jeeps or large cars.  For example, drivers working in the construction industry towing trailers with building supplies or plant machinery (e.g. a mini digger), Farmers transporting cattle or sheep in two and three axle trailers or private cars towing a larger caravan.  Drivers towing horse boxes or working for outdoor activity companies transporting Boats, Kayaks and Canoes are likely to need an EB licence also.

Anyone planning to tow a trailer, horsebox, caravan, or similar load using a car or jeep may need an B+E driving licence. This course is ideal if you’re unsure of your towing entitlement or want to gain the necessary training to pass the car or jeep and trailer driving test.
