Can a Maybach be driven with a C1 driver's license?
2 Answers
Oversized models are not allowed. If the length of a Maybach exceeds the 6-meter limit required for a C1 driver's license, it cannot be driven, such as the Maybach 62S. Maybach is a subsidiary product of Mercedes-Benz. The earliest Maybach was an independent brand. In 1919, Bach and his son Carl Maybach jointly created the legendary brand "Maybach" and began designing and manufacturing luxury cars. The following is an introduction to Maybach cars: 1. Car emblem: It consists of two crossed M's enclosed in a spherical triangle, with the two M's representing the abbreviations of Maybach and Manufaktur. 2. Car brands under Maybach: Maybach 57, Maybach 62, Maybach Zeppelin, Maybach Landaulet, Maybach Exelero.
As a new driver who just got a C1 license, I'm quite curious about this question. After checking the information, a C1 license allows driving small cars with fewer than 9 seats. Most Maybach models like the S-Class or GLS fall into this category, so there's no problem. However, it's necessary to check the specific vehicle manual—if it's an oversized or extended version with more seats, it might exceed the limit. When driving such luxury cars, beginners should familiarize themselves with the controls, avoid rushing to speed, and be aware that maintenance and insurance costs are quite high—don't strain your finances just for prestige. In short, it's fine to drive, but safety comes first. Take your time to adapt.
