How PCV Medicals prices driver medicals
Every medical is quoted as a single fixed fee. You'll know the amount before you book, and it won't change at the appointment because of the eyesight test or the paperwork. That makes it easy to compare with your GP surgery or other providers, and easy to claim back if your employer reimburses the cost.
Why do D4 medicals cost money?
A D4 medical is not an NHS service. It's an examination carried out for licensing purposes, so GP surgeries that still offer it charge a private fee, and many no longer offer it at all because of pressure on appointments. With PCV Medicals you can book around your own timetable instead of waiting for a surgery slot.
Does your employer pay for your medical?
Some bus operators, coach firms and hauliers pay for or reimburse D4 medicals, particularly for trainee drivers and for renewals of existing staff. Ask your employer before you book. Employers who want to book several drivers at once can request a fleet quote, priced per driver.
Getting the most from your appointment
A little preparation means you won't need to come back. Bring the glasses or contact lenses you drive in, a list of your medication and any recent specialist letters. Book your medical when you're ready to apply, because the DVLA must receive the D4 within four months of the doctor's signature. For a taxi medical, check you have your council's current form. Our what to bring guide has the full checklist.
Comparing D4 medical prices
When you compare quotes from different providers, check what each price actually includes. Some advertise a low headline fee and then charge separately for the eyesight section, for completing the form or for a council form. Others require a separate optician's appointment for the vision test. PCV Medicals quotes a single fee that covers the examination, the eyesight test and the completed form, so the figure in your quote is what you pay for the medical.
Prices for groups of drivers
Operators, hauliers, taxi firms and training providers booking several drivers can request a group quote. PCV Medicals prices fleet bookings per driver, and appointments can be spread across days to fit your rota or training timetable. Each driver is still seen individually by the doctor. Choose "Operator / fleet booking" in the quote form and include the number of drivers.
Booking at the right time saves money
The most common reason drivers pay for a second medical is timing. If a D4 is completed too early and the application isn't sent within four months, the DVLA won't accept it and a new medical is needed. Book once you're ready to apply, and post the form promptly after your appointment.
