Free South Carolina Passenger (P) Endorsement Practice Test 2025

Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements.

Passenger vehicle drivers are in demand across South Carolina. From Charleston’s tourism industry to Columbia’s transit system, drivers with the Passenger (P) endorsement have access to steady employment with public transit agencies, charter bus companies, and private transportation providers. Major routes like I-95, I-26, and I-85 connect population centers where passenger transport is essential.

What the P endorsement allows: You can operate any vehicle designed to carry 16 or more passengers, including the driver. This includes transit buses, charter coaches, shuttle buses, and large passenger vans. Without this endorsement, you cannot legally transport passengers in these vehicles—limiting your job options significantly.

South Carolina employers hiring Passenger-endorsed drivers:

  • CARTA (Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority)
  • The COMET (Columbia transit system)
  • Greenville Transit Authority
  • Charter companies: Academy Bus, Southeastern Stages
  • Tourism shuttles: Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head resort transport

What to expect for the South Carolina Passenger endorsement:

  • Knowledge test: 20 multiple-choice questions, 80% to pass
  • Skills test: Road test in a passenger vehicle (required)
  • Topics covered: Driving safely, transporting passengers safely, vehicle inspection, basic vehicle control
  • Applies to: Class A, B, or C CDL

Two-step process to get your P endorsement:

  1. Pass the Passenger knowledge test at the DMV
  2. Pass the road skills test in a passenger-carrying vehicle

Study the official 2025 CDL manual (South Carolina CDL Handbook 2025) and our CDL Passenger guide for complete requirements.
