Introductory Off Road Driving

Get off the beaten track and enjoy taking the wheel of a rugged and capable 4x4 in this Introductory Off-Road Driving experience. You will get to learn new skills in this challenging driving experience such as manoeuvring on difficult terrain, planning and observation. Learn from an experienced instructor as they guide you through the steep inclines, side slopes and gullies.

Have fun exploring the capabilities of a 4x4 vehicle as you take on the challenging course, putting your foot on the accelerator as you push the car up high climbs and feel your stomach drop as you come back down. Wheels will be churning and axles grinding as you do amazing things that your own car would never be able to handle. At the end of your experience, you will receive a certificate of your achievement the perfect memento of an extraordinary drive.

To make your experience even more special, why not choose a Real Race Track and follow in the footsteps of the world's most famous racing drivers on these iconic tracks, venues for championship racing . All Real Race Tracks are marked with a * in the locations list.

What's Included?

• Introduction to 4x4 driving and handling techniques as part of a small group
• Experience training from a qualified instructor and hands-on driving
• Experience gift pack
• Cancellation indemnity

What happens on the day?

On arrival at your chosen centre, you will normally be asked to sign an indemnity form which will also require parental/guardian signature for under 18s. Your session will usually be shared with other drivers and you will spend 45 minutes to one hour at the wheel and the rest of the time as a passenger.

You will be given an initial briefing, followed by detailed training from an instructor before being allowed to drive the vehicle yourself under their guidance once you are judged to be safe enough behind the wheel. At the end of your experience you will receive a certificate to take away with you and show off to all your friends and family.

  Some driving operators require customers to complete an Indemnity/Damage waiver form on the day of the experience. This may state that the driver will be liable for a fixed amount of costs should they damage the vehicle whilst driving. Most of these suppliers are able to provide Indemnity/Damage Waiver at a small additional fee (usually £20-£45) payable on site. The purchase of this is optional and is in addition to the Public Liability Insurance held by all venues.  The full details of any indemnity or damage waiver will be provided by the activity operator.
