Frequently Asked Questions
Class C1 Driver's License Munich

What am I allowed to drive with a Class C1 license?
With Class C1, you may drive motor vehicles with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of more than 3,500 kg up to a maximum of 7,500 kg. The vehicle may be designed for a maximum of 8 passengers plus the driver. A small trailer up to 750 kg GVW may also be towed. Typical vehicles: ambulances, lighter fire trucks, crew transport vehicles, large motorhomes and spacious delivery vans.
What is the difference between C1 and C1E?
Class C1 authorizes driving vehicles up to 7,500 kg, while Class C1E extends this to combinations with trailers over 750 kg – the total combination may weigh up to 12,000 kg. For C1E, if you already hold C1, no separate theory exam is required, only an additional practical exam with 3 cross-country, 1 motorway and 1 night driving lessons with a trailer.
How long does the Class C1 training take at Peters Driving School?
This largely depends on your schedule flexibility. Once all documents are submitted, the training can be completed within a few weeks with regular driving lessons. Additionally, the processing time at the KVR Munich for the license application is approximately 8-10 weeks. We help you organize everything in parallel.
Is the Class C1 license valid for life?
No. Class C1 and C1E licenses, like all truck licenses, are always issued for a period of 5 years. For renewal, you must submit a new medical and ophthalmological certificate to the licensing authority in good time.
Is the Class C1 license worth it for motorhome drivers?
Definitely! Many modern motorhomes quickly exceed the 3.5-ton limit with luggage, water and passengers. Driving overloaded with a car license risks heavy fines and loss of insurance coverage. With Class C1, you are on the safe side during your camping holiday.
