One of my colleagues is doing some research for an article for CM and would like to have an idea of how much you have paid for your vocational licence medical…
My last one in 2010 was £92-40p. I didn’t shop around though. You can get cheaper deals I’m sure. The medical before that I had a range of quotes from £48-£120!!

Had mine in 2002, paid a straight £100 at my GP’s, Dr. ■■■■ Turpin I think his name was. To be fair I had cheaper quotes elsewhere but being the lazy little toad that I am, I just booked it cos it was closest to my house. Self inflicted open wallet surgery if you like!
I paid £49 to have a medical in Nov 2009 through Doctors on Wheels. Spent about half an hour in the back of a camper van on the side of the road in an industrial estate. I guess you get what you pay for
£84-50

‘…how much you have paid for your vocational licence medical…’
Under fifty sov’s with Cotswold - with them bunging £5 to charity. Peasy…
I paid £35 for my medical in December 2005

That’s for completely different services I would imagine
Mine is due in may, so I went to my GP to enquire as to the price!
£160, I was gobsmacked to say the least.
£30 a few months ago,in St Helens, from the cheap medicals link on this site
£42 at a local LGV training school in 2008 for my age 50 medical
£100 with my own GP 3 years ago - cash or personal cheque made out to the doctor, not the practice
£49 in St Albans with driversmedicals.com
Free! From my own doctor but I had just retired and told him I would only need the licence for voluntary work.
My doc normally charges £50 for his own patients and £80 for walk-ins.
£112 in 2008.
However I have recently had a letter (2 days ago) saying that medicals are now considered a “Private Consultation” and It would be £120 for the consultation, plus £50 for the filling in of the form.
Thankfully I don’t need one for another 20 years but I hate to think how much it’ll cost then!

It may be worth surveying how many employers assist with this cost?
For my last LGV medical last year I paid £15 (fifteen pounds), but sadly that doctor who only did medicals has now retired
5 years before that I paid my own doctor £132
