Category BE
Driver's License Category BE
With Сategory BE you are allowed to drive all vehicle combinations with a Сategory B towing vehicle. The maximum permissible weight of the trailer must not exceed 3,500 kg. The prerequisite for cat. BE is holding Сat. B, minimum age 18 years.
To obtain Сat. BE, no theory lessons are required — only practical training consisting of 3 rural drives, 1 motorway drive and 1 night drive. The number of practice hours needed depends on the student. Experience shows that it takes considerable practice before being able to reverse a vehicle combination around a corner. The training concludes with a practical examination.
Sample cost breakdown for a Сat. BE licence:
| Category BE | Qty | Unit price | Tüv exam fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registration fee | €200,00 | ||
| Practical driving (45 min) | ? | €72,00 | |
| Country road driving (45 min) | 3 | €82,00 | |
| Autobahn driving (45 min) | 1 | €82,00 | |
| Night driving (45 min) | 1 | €82,00 | |
| Practical exam entry | 1 | €200,00 | €129,83 |
| Partial exam (driving and basic tasks only) | 1 | €150,00 | |
| Coupling and uncoupling of vehicles | 1 | €50,00 | €50,00 |
The prices shown are components of the total cost for a Category BE driver’s license. The major unknown variable is the number of driving lessons. In our region, a student driver of average ability typically requires about 2 to 6 lessons throughout their training. Naturally, the number of individual lessons can vary significantly, either upwards or downwards, depending on the person.
The fees for the official application at the licensing office range from €40 to €60, depending on the region. Additionally, the first aid course, eye test, and passport photo could cost between €50 and €70.
If the practical exam is not passed, the same costs will unfortunately be incurred again for the retake: TÜV fees and the driving school’s fee for presenting the student for the exam. If the practical exam needs to be repeated, a few additional practice lessons are usually necessary as well.
