Event Prices

Due to the ever-increasing costs of fuel, Driving Experiences reserve the right to charge the customer at the time of booking their experience an additional surcharge to cover these costs, this increase shall be no more than £5 and will not come into effect unless fuel should reach 160ppl
Booking Your Day
The majority of Driving Experiences events are operated from March to November. Your event must be booked, and the event taken before the expiry date of your voucher. The booking office is open all year for bookings and we advise you to make your booking at least 8- 12 weeks before your event to avoid disappointment. Very rarely car/event changes may be made, and we reserve the right to do so. This may involve having to reschedule the cars/timing and /or location of experience, sometimes at short notice, due to availability, booking numbers, safety, technical problems or other factors beyond our control. We cannot be held liable for any personal costs incurred in any of these circumstances. You are advised not to make travel, hotel or other arrangements until your booking has been confirmed in writing. We will try to provide an experience, location or suitable alternative wherever possible. In the unlikely event that an alternative cannot or is not offered, a full refund will be available at the discretion of Driving Experiences. Similarly, we reserve the right to withdraw the supply of an event without notice due to unavailability or discontinuance of a product line. Once you have booked your date, we will reserve your car, instructor and circuit time. If you then choose to cancel, you will be in breach of contract and Driving Experiences to reserve the right to retain all monies paid. (please see below cancellation cover). You are advised not to make travel, hotel or other arrangements until your booking has been made in writing. Should any alterations have to then take place due to reasons beyond our control we shall not be held liable for any expenses incurred. Session lengths are approximate, and vary from venue to venue and are given as a general indication only.
Refunds and Cancellations
Driving Experiences are happy to make refunds on unbooked experiences within 7 days of purchase, minus a 10% administration charge (this being a minimum charge of £25.00 per voucher). After 7 days no refund will be available for any voucher. A replacement named driver can be submitted but a £15.00 administration charge will be applicable.
Optional extras
Collision Damage Waiver
All our experiences involve some element of risk and danger and every customer is covered by our standard public liability insurance. You may wish to take out additional cover over and above that which is provided. Accordingly, you are advised to consider insurance cover for personal accidents, loss of limb and even death or indemnity cover for damage caused to any vehicles on your event before embarking on your experience. Driving Experiences is not responsible for any risks not specifically covered by its own insurance and on arrival at your venue for a Driving Experiences event you will be asked to sign a driver’s indemnity. Without signing this indemnity, you will not be able to take part. At Driving Experiences, customers are insured to drive the cars, but they are liable to the excess payment if any claim needs to be made due to damage to the vehicles. It is advised that participants purchase a waiver indemnity ( CDW ) that will be offered when you, take the booking. This is at the cost of from £30.00 for one car and £10.00 per car thereafter (there is a small surcharge for premium tracks which you will be advised about when making your booking ) and is weather dependent. Taking the waiver will void the participant from signing the indemnity on arrival. The statement reads “Driving Experiences have agreed that should there be any damage whatsoever to any of the vehicles I drive today I will not have to pay the first £5,000 of damage as previously stated on the signing in sheet for my experience. The damage waiver is void if I am found to be driving negligently/dangerously. I confirm that I am not suffering from any illness or disability whether permanent or temporary which will affect my control of the vehicles being driven or instruction being taken. I confirm I hold a valid UK/International driving licence”.
Please note; we have a no spin rule. If you spin or damage a vehicle, your experience will be terminated, and all further drives forfeit.

Driving Experiences Flexible Cancellation can only be purchased when booking your experience.
This covers any changes you wish to make to your booking up to 7 days before your event.
