Starting March 2026, Argentina introduces new driver's license classification rules by the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV). Category B1 now permits driving motorhomes only up to 3500 kg, while B2 allows towing trailers up to 750 kg. Vehicles exceeding these limits are moved to category C1, intended for freight transport.
This means most van-based motorhomes and campers over 3500 kg will require a professional C1 license. Drivers must undergo stricter medical checks and exams. This particularly affects travelers over 65, who must pass new tests.
The industry association FATCRA opposes the changes, calling them a bureaucratic barrier that could force thousands to operate illegally and paralyze tourism.
