Within the motor industry there are a few cars which stand head and shoulders above the rest; this may be due to their sporting heritage, their elegance or their prowess. One car which falls into this category is that of the Italian prancing horse. Thanks to U Drive Cars you can make any car enthusiast’s dream a reality, by giving them the opportunity to feel the bite of this supercar as they pull away and apply the grip of the tyres as they take a corner, with our Ferrari driving experience packages and gift vouchers.

From as little as £89 it’s possible for you to provide the petrol-head in your life with the chance to hear the purr of a Ferrari engine as they sit behind the wheel and gently tap the accelerator. They’ll be able to enjoy heading out onto the Oxfordshire circuit for an experience that they’ll never forget, which is guaranteed to make the driving of an everyday hatchback seem slow and mundane.

Included with this package is a welcome registration, tea/coffee to quench the thirst and anticipation of getting onto the track, and a safety briefing which covers the key issues when at speed during the four laps – which equates to around six miles as a driver of one of the most iconic cars of the 21st century.

Want to spend a little more and give that special person something extra special? Why not purchase the Ferrari verses Audi R8 package we provide for as little as £169 which offers the opportunity to take two of the world’s most renowned sports cars around our track.

If you’re unsure which package they’d prefer, don’t worry as you can purchase a monetary gift card from us, which range in price from £50-£250 and gives the recipient the opportunity to take part in a driving experience which is guaranteed to pump up their adrenaline.

All of our driving experience vouchers and gift vouchers are valid for 12 months from the time of purchase. For more information surrounding our gift vouchers and Ferrari driving experience don’t hesitate to contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable team on 01869 277112.

When growing up, many of us would be out and about on our bikes pretending we were racing drivers, or sitting on our parents’ laps as they pulled the car onto the drive, allowing us to steer, whilst they controlled the brake, clutch and accelerator. Children today however prefer to sit in-front of various games consoles or the internet and throw cars around a virtual racetrack; but why don’t you give your children the chance to experience life behind the wheel with one of the child friendly driving experiences available through us here at U Drive Cars.

As one of the leading driving experience specialists, we appreciate that the younger generations will want to get behind the wheel of a car and learn the basics of driving, which is why we offer two children’s driving experiences which are designed to provide children aged ten years and upwards with a fun yet educational learning experience whilst getting them away from the SKY HD Rugby.

First Drive:

The “First Drive” package offers two hours of tutorial behind the wheel of one of our safe, reliable and well maintained cars, and is based on 3 pupils sharing both the car and instructor during the two hours.

During the two hour slot, we aim to teach your children the basics of driving, including how to pull away smoothly, correctly steer around a circuit and how to safely and effectively stop the car. During their time behind the wheel, any child taking part in the experience will be shown how to change gears, use mirrors correctly and how to position the car.

First Drive Exclusive:

The “First Drive Exclusive” package offers the same driving skills as the “First Drive” package but has a one-on-one tutorial, giving your child an even greater experience of life behind the wheel of a car.

Both these packages are led by an ADI approved driving instructor; giving you peace of mind that from the very beginning of the experience your children will be getting honest and valuable driving experience from a trained professional.

If you’d like more information surrounding our driving packages or if you’d like to book one of the child friendly driving experiences available at our specially adapted track, then contact us today via 01869 277112.
