How to match a trailer to a car? Licence, GVW and towing limits

Before buying a trailer, check GVW, vehicle towing limits, driver licence category, payload and documents.

How to match a trailer to a car? Licence, GVW and towing limits

Trailer selection starts with the car documents

Before choosing a trailer, check the towing vehicle data: maximum braked trailer mass, maximum unbraked trailer mass, vehicle GVW and allowed set weight.

Trailer GVW and set GVW

Trailer GVW is the maximum trailer weight with load. Set GVW is the allowed combination of car and trailer. Legal values in documents matter.

Licence requirements

Required licence depends on the documented weights. In some cases category B is enough; heavier sets may require additional entitlement.

Prepare data before asking for an offer

Send vehicle model, towing limits, cargo type, expected dimensions and required equipment. This allows faster and safer trailer selection.
