Jeep and Trailer Hire Limerick & Clare

If you need to tow a Horsebox, Boat or Trailer with a Jeep or Car with a gross vehicle weight of over 750Kg then you must hold a full BE Licence. Without the correct licence (category BE), you are not insured and could be prosecuted. Your category ‘B’ (Car) driving licence only covers you to drive a vehicle up to 3,500kg & trailer up to 750kg.

If you want to tow a trailer with a gross vehicle weight of more than 750kg, you are required by law to hold a full ‘BE’ licence.

Alert School Of Motoring has been teaching the BE licence which was previously known as an EB licence since 2010. The only difference with the new BE licence is the weight restriction of 3,500kg which was introduced in January 2013.  You can be assured that Alert School Of Motoring can guide you through your driving test.

On average, each driver would need 5 hours to pass their driving test for the BE licence. The driving test is a full test including Road position; Observation; Reaction to hazards; mirror work; progress; vehicle controls; speed; traffic controls; reversing left or right.

While most of our customers are very experienced at towing and reversing trailers, they all have bad habits, which is natural for all drivers and this is the only thing that will let them down on the day of the driving test.

Trailer Lessons are charged at €65 per hour. The Hire of a Jeep and Trailer for your Driving Test costs €200.
