We have a van for 15 passengers with driver. charter@usachartersandtours.com Regards, Erick.
You would only need a CDL if a: it was transporting hazardous materials or b: it was a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), then no. However, if it's a passenger van used on a for hire basis, then your state might require a chauffeur's license.
Depends on the laws of your state. Vehicles which don't require a CDL are regulated by individual states. Some states have a chauffeur's licence system for taxis, limos, and passenger vehicles carrying less than 16 passengers (including the driver). Some states do not.
Yes. You only need a passenger endorsement if you are transporting 15 or more people.
If it's a private vehicle, just a regular drivers license. If it's a commercial passenger transporter, then it doesn't require a CDL, and licensing requirements are up to the state. Some states don't require any upgrade, while others might require a chauffeur's license or something similar.
Generally, a CDL is required to transport more than 12 people in any type vehicle over public roads.
No, a class F license is required in Ontario for 15 passenger vans.
No you do not need a special drivers license to rent a wheelchair van. All you need is to have your class D drivers license.
No, you can not drive a fifteen person van with a general drivers license. It would be far too big.
Nowhere in the US does a 15 passenger van require a CDL. However, 15 persons is the max before a CDL with passenger endorsement is required.
You need a CDL to operate a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).If you're operating a vehicle on a for-hire basis which is designed to transport no more than 15 passengers (again, including the driver), jurisdiction for licencing requirements are given to individual states. Some states impose no additional requirements, while others may require a chauffeur's licence to be obtained. You need to check with your state's DMV about this, since I don't know which state you're in.
A passenger van is great to rent if you are planning a family trip with the grandparents or friends of the children. There are usually not any special license requirements when you rent a passenger van from a rental car company.
