You will need an ancillary certificate if you intend to drive a public passenger vehicle or ride source vehicle to carry passengers for reward.
There are three relevant types of ancillary certificate:
- Taxi - allows you to operate a taxi, including any public passenger vehicle your driver licence class allows
- Other - allows you to operate any public passenger vehicle, including large public passenger vehicles (not taxis)
- Other and X-Condition - allows you to operate a nominated ride source vehicle, as will be specified on your driver licence.
There are two types of public passenger vehicle:
- small passenger vehicle - less than 10 people and used to carry passengers for hire and reward
- large passenger vehicle - 10 or more people, including the driver.
