U Drive Cars Latest News

Driving is one of those things that you either love or hate. If you seize every opportunity to jump behind the wheel of your car, and even enjoy your drive to work each morning, then a driving experience day could be your dream day out. Live the life of a rally driver for one day only by treating yourself to one of the driving experiences offered by U Drive Cars, and learn to expertly execute the power slides, Scandinavian flicks and handbrake turns that you have watched your heroes pull off on the track.

However confident you are in your driving abilities, there are always a few new skills which you can pick up. Although we don’t recommend that you put our rally driving techniques into practice on the roads, a day spent with one of our experienced instructors will teach you the basics of car control and is sure to help you feel more comfortable behind the wheel of your own vehicle. A handbrake turn might be out of place on the high street, and may be beyond the capabilities of your used truck, but on our track you are free to negotiate tight bends and slide through the gravel to your heart’s content.

After you arrive at our dedicated track for one of our rally driving experiences, you will be given a thorough safety briefing to ensure that you know what to expect out on the track, before you will get strapped into one of our professional rally cars to practice a few new tricks.

One of our highly-qualified instructors will be on hand throughout the day to offer you some expert tips, and will also give you the opportunity to get inspired by a high-speed passenger ride with them at the wheel: the best way to see what our cars are capable of in expert hands.

Whether you want to experience life in the fast lane in the classic Ford Escort MK2 rally car, or are looking to spend the morning in the Ford Escort RS2000 before testing your skills in a Subaru Impreza, driving experiences from U Drive Cars can provide the perfect day out.

Happy New Year everyone! Now that we’ve officially entered the New Year, we will all be planning our New Year’s resolutions; whether it’s a diet to lose the Christmas weight or a financial cut-back to lessen the financial shock that was Christmas.  But while this might sound dull and boring, there’s also the possibility to grab some great deals and experience things you may have never tried before. So, if you’re into fast, elite sports cars then the New Year is the perfect time to get a great offer on a once in a lifetime driving experience, and U Drive Cars is the perfect place to find them.

Believe us, driving a Lamborghini is far more exciting than driving your average car.

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.

Finding the perfect present for a person who has everything can often prove difficult. However, instead of opting for the usual fragrance present or the pack of socks, why not purchase them a gift voucher which will allow them to experience the thrills, spills and adrenaline rush that comes with the driving experiences available through us here at U Drive Cars?

Despite many misconceptions, driving experience gift vouchers don’t have to be expensive, which is why via our website you’ll find the perfect voucher whatever budget you have to spend.

Our gift vouchers will enable any petrol-head you know to have an unforgettable driving experience behind the wheel of one of the many supercars available at our Oxfordshire circuit. Starting at £50 and rising up to £250, all vouchers are valid for a twelve month period and our driving events run on selected Fridays and Saturdays between March and December.

Whether your partner has always dreamed of getting out of the used trucks they drive as a living and behind the wheel of a Ferrari, or your best friend wants to feel the power a Lotus offers around a specially designed race track, our driving experiences will be able to provide the solution.

The driving experiences we provide aren’t like those Sunday afternoon trips you take with your family, instead they’re fast paced and adrenaline fuelled, which is why we plan our experiences months in advance and also have a few terms and conditions, including:

•    Those who are participating in the driving experience must hold a valid UK driving licence
•    Anyone participating in a driving experience must be in good health

Not only will this ensure that they have a memorable time for all the right reasons, but it’ll also enable them to get the most out of the day.  If you’d like more information surrounding our driving experiences or if you’d like to purchase one of the packages available through us here at U Drive Cars, contact us via 01869 277112.
