In some countries, the driver may need to have a different driving license to that of a car license.
In Europe, if the vehicle is under 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) gross vehicle weight (GVW) and can carry eight passengers or fewer, then this can be driven on a category B driving license. Vehicles under 7,500 kg (16,535 lb) GVW but still carries eight passengers or fewer, then a category C1 Large Goods Vehicle license is required. Vehicles carrying 16 passengers or more, regardless of the GVW weight require a category D1 license.
