A long wheel based van is simply for people with lots of stuff to move. There are also medium wheel base vans (MWB) for people that want a middle ground solution and small wheel base vans (SWB) for a nimbler approach better for driving in built up areas but with a compromise to storage capacity.
You can drive a long wheelbase van on a standard UK driving licence also known as a category B driving licence. One of the key considerations of any long wheelbase van is that although you do have the extra room in the back the van does weight more in total, so make sure when loading that you don’t exceed your category B maximum loading licence limit of 3.5 tonne, this also applies for anyone looking at any large or big van hire.
