Great booking procedure and Experience.
had to delay booking a few times due to the current situation but got there in the end. Extending the voucher date was very easy and clear. booking the experience in the end was very easy and lots of availability. The experience itself (12-17yo Driving experience) was excellent, instructors were clear and my daughter found it very enjoyable.

My 10 year old daughter loved it!
My 10 year old daughter was a bit scared when we got there, looking at the 'real' car she was about to get into and drive. The reception were great to explain what would happen, and her instructor, Judith, was very calm and patient and set her mind at ease. When the 30 min session was up, Judith came over with my daughter and explained how she got on. Basically my daughter loved it, and wants to do it again. We paid an extra £15.99 for a vide too :)

Kids loved it.
Bought this for both of my kids- 11&14 years. Both loved it and asked to do it again. The booking system was confusing, so phoned young driver directly and they booked it all over the phone. Very helpful.

Young Driver experience
Purchased for birthday present Very good set up, easy to find location. Really well organised. 30 minute driving round quite a large area, plenty of turns and cones set up to manoeuvre around. Bought for 13 year old, he thought it was brilliant Wish there’d been something like it when I learnt to drive

Daughter loved it!
Great opportunity for my 12 year old to do something a bit different. She loved it and came away beaming from the positive feedback about her driving. The instructor took the time to let us know how she did. We were a bit worried that she wouldn’t get the full time as she pulled away 5 minutes after everyone else, but the instructor made sure she did an extra lap so she definitely got the full time which was great.

Fantastic young driver experience
My parents bought this experience for Christmas for my 13yr old daughter. We went on Sunday. We felt totally safe, lots of cleaning & masks etc. My daughter has gone thru the gears up to 4th. Driven at 45mph, reverse parked, parallel parked and generally had a really fun and exciting experience!! Will be buying again for this Christmas......experiences and memories over yet more make up etc!!

Grandson Christmas Gift
Bought this driving experience for my Grandson, who is 13. He absolutely loved it! So much so that I booked again for his 14th Birthday present. Such a great idea to introduce him to the skill of driving and hit home the safety aspects. So hard to think of gifts for teenagers - both boys & girls, this is perfect.

Fantastic experience
My son (12) was bought a young drivers 30 minute experience for last Christmas, we finally managed to get around to taking him (end of Sept20). Was impressed with how organised the employees were, from giving you guidance for what the experience was about and also giving you piece of mind (especially my son being first time behind a wheel). The driving instructor (Mike) was extremely good and explained things really weel (braver man then me).. highly recommended for a fun hour out.
