How thick should concrete be for a driveway?

Question

We're having a new concrete driveway laid. The tradesmen we have hired mentioned different thicknesses depending on vehicle weight. What's the minimum depth that we can get away with to save money?

Hello have they explained that for  strength, you best lay  reinforcing mess in the concrete pour me myself would put a depth of  5/6 inches , 2, inches first then lay 4,inches  of concrete  for your final layer, you can have the mix made up with   Fibres,  in the mix for added  strength,  All goes on what you can  afford,  please be carefull  allow for Subbase, before concreting,
