A good base is everything.

Concrete will break and crumble if it’s not poured over a solid, stable base. Getting in 4 to 6-in. of a good compact-able base is a useful pattern of thumb, but the exact part of the base a concrete driveway needs relies on the state of the existing soil, the conditions, and what you design to park on your driveway.

You may be capable to pour straight over sandy or rough soil without bringing in any additional base. But if you live in cold conditions, are pouring over heavy clay or organic soil, or plan to park heavy vehicles on the driveway, you may want to enhance the base layer to 10 or 12-in.

The best form to find out how much base you need is to contact the most immediate concrete supplier. If you explain your soil conditions and the slab’s intended use, the supplier should be able to suggest the proper base depth and the type to use and provide reference info for a nearby ground supplier. Your city may also have a handout of suggested base depths in your area.
