The towing rules in Ireland can be complex and you should discuss these in detail with one of our partner brokes. A category B driving licence authorises you to drive a car, van or 4 x 4 in Ireland which has gross vehicle weight of not more than 3,500kg. You may tow a trailer of not greater than 750kg, or where the max weight of the trailer is more than 750kg, the combined weight of the towing vehicle and the trailer must not be more than 3,500kg. You will require a BE licence where the combined weight is greater than 3,500kg. It is your responsibility to ensure the both the vehicle and the touring caravan are roadworthy and fit for purpose. The towing vehicle must be taxed and insured and have passed its roadworthiness test.
