DRIVE HGV Reviews 

My journey to getting my Class C HGV licence started on 11 August 2025. I’d been thinking about doing it for years… and, like many great plans, kept putting it off. With work becoming a bit sketchy, I finally decided to stop procrastinating and just go for it.

After some online searching, I came across DriveHGV. I filled in a few details and shortly after received a call from Josh. What followed was a very light-hearted conversation — to the point it felt like I was chatting to an old school friend I’d known for years. That first impression instantly put me at ease. No hard sell, no pressure, just genuine advice and support. A refreshing change, to say the least.

Once signed up, everything was very well organised. I received login details for all the relevant apps covering theory test prep — DVSA questions, hazard perception, case studies, the lot. Everything you need, neatly laid out, and no guesswork involved.

I’ll be honest — I’m not at my best when it comes to sitting in front of a screen doing tests. Whenever I had questions (and there were a few), I contacted Josh, who was always happy to help and point me in the right direction. If Josh wasn’t available, Elliot or Vangie stepped in — it genuinely feels like a proper team effort at DriveHGV.

From the initial enquiry through to booking theory and practical tests, everything was handled smoothly. You’re never left wondering what happens next, which makes a big difference when you’re doing something new (and slightly nerve-wracking).

During my training, there were four of us who regularly crossed paths between lessons and tests, which helped create a relaxed, supportive atmosphere — especially on Module 3a test day.

I’d also like to give a special thank you to my instructor Julie (apologies if I’ve got the name slightly wrong!). She was calm, understanding, and reassuring throughout — exactly what you need when learning something as serious as driving an HGV. Thanks to her support, I passed on 16 January 2025.

So, a huge thank you to everyone at DriveHGV, and especially Julie, for helping me finally stop putting things off and get my licence. If you’re considering HGV training but keep saying “I’ll do it later” — take this as your sign. Do it now.

Highly recommended 🚛👏

Paying and booking my test through Drive HGV was very simple and i was communicated with the entire way through about what i would need to do and when, i was given helpful tools to pass my theory tests and was given a very helpful instructor to be able to pass my HGV test first time.

From the day I applied to the day I passed, both Elliot and Josh were there for me the whole way. I can’t thank the team enough for all the support and the revisions tools they supplied for my class c licence. Nothing but good praises for the team at Drive HGV. Will definitely be using them again for my class C+E. Highly recommend for anyone who is wanting to obtain their license!

Brilliant experience! Drive HGV guided me through the whole process from beginning to the end with frequent emails and WhatsApp reminders checking how I was and if I had any questions. They offered very flexible training days so that I did not have to take annual leave days for the weekly course. This made me choose this particular company as they seem to be the only one being flexible. Again, a wonderful journey, I can highly recommend them :)

Elliott!! Thank you so much. He has been a great help from start untill pass day! Any questions or queries just message him and he will get staright back to you. I highly recommend using drive hgv.

Excellent Drive HGV training company—professional, well-organised, and supportive throughout the entire process. Their clear instruction and structured approach made obtaining my HGV licence straightforward and stress-free. Highly recommended.

I recently completed my HGV Class 1 training with "DRIVE HGV". I would like to thank Josh and Elliott who have been very supportive through the whole process, also making sure that any issues throughout the process were resolved (Thankfully there were no issues). DRIVE HGV have dealt with everything from start to finish which has made the process extremely easy and quite frankly, has relieved a lot of stress as I haven't had to worry about bookings etc.

I would definitely recommend DRIVE HGV to anybody wanting to learn to a HGV.

YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
