❓ Frequently Asked Questions - Class 4
What is ICBC Class 4 license used for?
Class 4 license allows you to operate taxis, Uber/Lyft rideshare vehicles, small buses (24 passengers or less), ambulances, and light commercial vehicles for hire. It's required for any professional driving where you carry passengers for compensation. This includes taxi services, rideshare platforms (Uber, Lyft), medical transport services, airport shuttles, hotel shuttles, and small tour buses. You cannot use a Class 5 personal license for these purposes.
How many questions is the Class 4 knowledge test?
The ICBC Class 4 knowledge test contains 50 multiple-choice questions. You need to score at least 80% (40 correct answers) to pass. The test covers commercial vehicle regulations, passenger safety procedures, professional driving standards, vehicle inspections, and emergency protocols. Questions are more focused on commercial operations than the standard Class 5 test.
What are the requirements to get Class 4 license?
To qualify for Class 4, you must: hold a valid BC Class 5 license for at least 2 years, be at least 19 years old, have a clean driving record (no major violations or excessive tickets), pass an ICBC-approved medical examination, pass the Class 4 knowledge test, and pass the Class 4 road test. You'll also need commercial vehicle insurance once licensed.
Can I drive for Uber or Lyft with Class 4?
Yes! Class 4 is required to drive for Uber, Lyft, or any rideshare platform in BC. You cannot use a regular Class 5 license for rideshare driving. In addition to Class 4, you'll need to meet the platform's vehicle requirements (usually 2010 or newer), pass their background checks, and have appropriate commercial vehicle insurance. Most rideshare drivers earn $20-$35/hour after expenses.
How much can I earn with a Class 4 license?
Earnings vary by job type: Taxi drivers typically earn $35,000-$50,000/year, Uber/Lyft drivers (full-time) can make $40,000-$70,000/year, delivery drivers earn $35,000-$55,000/year, and ambulance operators earn $45,000-$65,000/year. Part-time drivers have flexibility to work when they want. Peak hours (rush hour, weekends, events) offer higher earnings through surge pricing on rideshare platforms.
Is Class 4 test harder than Class 5?
The Class 4 knowledge test is somewhat more challenging than Class 5 because it covers commercial-specific topics like passenger safety regulations, vehicle inspection requirements, professional standards, and commercial transportation laws that aren't on the Class 5 test. However, with proper preparation from RupIELTS, most students pass on their first attempt. The road test is also more rigorous, testing commercial vehicle handling and passenger safety procedures.
How long is the Class 4 medical exam valid?
The ICBC medical examination for Class 4 is valid for 2 years for drivers under 65, and 1 year for drivers 65+. You must renew the medical before expiry to maintain your commercial license. The exam confirms you're physically and mentally fit for commercial driving, checking vision, hearing, cardiovascular health, and any conditions that might affect driving ability. Most family doctors can complete the ICBC medical form.
Can I take the Class 4 test in languages other than English?
Yes! The ICBC Class 4 knowledge test is available in multiple languages including Punjabi, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi, and others. You can choose your preferred language when starting the test. RupIELTS Institute also provides multilingual preparation support to help you understand commercial driving concepts in your preferred language, which is especially helpful for newcomers to Canada.
What if I fail the Class 4 knowledge test?
If you fail, you can retake the test the same day by paying another $15 fee. ICBC will show you which questions you missed. We recommend reviewing those specific topics before retaking. With RupIELTS preparation, most students pass on their first or second attempt. If you fail multiple times, come see us for targeted tutoring on your weak areas - we'll identify exactly what you need to study.
Do I need air brake endorsement for Class 4?
Not required for basic Class 4 (taxis, rideshare, small vehicles). However, if you want to drive larger commercial vehicles or buses with air brakes, you'll need to complete air brake training and add the endorsement. This involves a separate knowledge test and practical exam. Most taxi and rideshare drivers don't need air brakes. RupIELTS can advise if you need this endorsement for your specific career goals.
How does RupIELTS help me get hired after licensing?
Beyond test preparation, we provide job placement support including: connections to local taxi companies and rideshare platforms, guidance on completing Uber/Lyft driver applications, tips on getting approved quickly, advice on commercial insurance requirements, resume help for delivery and transportation jobs, and industry insights from our instructors who worked as commercial drivers.
