Looking to hire a transit sized van to move some stuff about but not sure what/if i can drive one.

On my current licence i have categories B & B1 and looking on the DVLA website, it just does my head in and is confusing for a simpleton like myself

So, can i drive a van up to 3500kg with these categories?

I passed my test in 1987

"Check if you can drive a van

You can drive a van up to 3,500kg if you have a standard car driving licence."

Also be aware of the different speed limits for Transit sized vans.
