Obtaining an HGV or PCV driving licence can be an expensive business.
And when you factor in the number of driver training ‘brokers’ out there ready and waiting to charge you, in some cases, twice as much as the actual cost – it’s worth doing your research!
We don’t want prospective drivers being put off by high prices and unrealistic promises pushed by brokers, so we’re offering a FREE service giving you contact details for trusted, independent training organisations so you can book direct with them and save potentially £100s!
What should it cost?
There are plenty of options out there, but if you’re quoted more than the figures below for any element of your training, you should be shopping around. To be clear, the below prices don’t include VAT – some elements, such as the test fees, are not subject to VAT.
