Car Trailer FAQs

How to secure a car to a trailer?

Once the car is in place, use proper tie-down straps on the wheels or strong points on the chassis. Tighten them evenly so the car doesn’t shift, and give everything a quick check before you set off.

Can I drive a trailer on a car licence?

In the UK, most standard licences let you tow a trailer, but there are limits on weight. As long as the car and trailer stay within those limits, you’re fine.

How much does a car trailer weigh?

It varies quite a bit depending on the size and build. Smaller trailers can be a few hundred kilos, while bigger, heavier-duty ones can weigh much more.
