Other uses for a Class 4 licence

For hire

A Class 4 licence is required for a driver who is operating a vehicle under the condition for hire, as defined below from the Operator Licensing and Vehicle Control Regulation.

For hire with respect to a vehicle, means that the vehicle owner or operator, or the operator's employer, is being paid for the service that the vehicle is being used to provide, but for the purposes of sections 23 (Class 3 licence) and 25 (Class 5 licence), a motor vehicle is not for hire when the operator drives a private passenger vehicle for the transportation of passengers on an incidental or occasional basis and receives compensation in respect of the transportation of those passengers only in one or more of the following forms:

1. as payment for the kilometres travelled at a rate not exceeding the limit of tax-exempt allowance paid by employers to employees as prescribed in section 7306 of the Income Tax Regulations of Canada (CRC chapter 945);

2. as straight reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses directly related to the transportation, including, without limitation, gas, parking, gate passes and tolls;

3. in a case where the operator is party to an agreement to provide transportation to only the operator's family members, members of the operator's household or persons for whom the operator is a legal guardian, as compensation only to provide transportation to those persons.
