U Drive Cars Avis 101

What a lot of fun, driving multiple awesome cars, learning each one’s unique characteristics and being supported by excellent staff.

Great day with some great cars, booking in was quite painless staff on the day were very helpful. Couple of minor issues which I should have raised on the day but got carried away with all of the cars. My first drive was in a Nissan GTR R32 which was a beast but unfortunately there was not power steering, not sure if it was broke or not fitted but made the car very difficult to drive, the second car I drove was the Ariel Atom, whilst being very quick was difficult for me to reach the clutch, not sure if this could be mentioned when booking so people can make an informed choice when picking their cars

A gift we really enjoyed!
We were gifted a voucher for the Caterham car experience and had such a good time! My mum is not much of car person and she LOVED driving the car around and learning a bit about the best way to drive it. We felt safe and that we were able to have a good go in the car. Next time we might book multiple cars as its quite a treck for a short amount of time with just one slot.

I booked this experience for my partner via Groupon. I didn’t pay for a damage waiver when booking as it was optional and knew my partner would be accompanied by an instructor and was not booked in for the high speed drive; I understand accidents can happen so was prepared to pay for this if it was mandatory. Upon arrival we were asked to pay for the damage waiver and given the option to pay for various test drives/track runs to gain an understanding of the site; I assumed a trial lap or at minimum a safety video etc. would be part of the experience to understand the track and any rules, it was not, so there were extra expenses despite having paid online as well as a parking charge which was inexpensive but it was just a grassy area on a gliding field. We booked a 12:00pm - 14:00pm slot and spent more time waiting, despite the car being available, than my partner actually did doing the laps. I chose the ‘Lamborghini Spyder’ online; it’s pictured in green on the site and came under the voucher I had purchased. My partner was put in a different Lamborghini despite the one we booked being available; we were advised that the picture online is not up to date and the one we booked was actually a “premium” vehicle and would cost more. The video taken was of my partner and the instructor inside the vehicle chatting to one another, none from the outside … I’m not sure why anyone would want a video of themselves chatting inside the car 😅 The pictures from outside on the track were lacklustre and taken from a distance so not worth the prices being asked (£25+). We managed to get better pictures via an iPhone camera … overall the experience was poor and not worth the money, even if booked via Groupon.

Bought a driving experience for my son, and he had the best day ever! The staff were very friendly and sensitive to his needs, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience

My grandson was so happy with the experience, it was well organised and he could change his choice of car on the day. I will be recommending it to friends. He had a great day

Cracking day out, driving the atom was definitely my favourite and all the staff there were very approachable and helpful what an experience!

Had an amazing day with U Drive Cars. Everything was very well organised and the team were incredibly friendly throughout. The selection of cars was outstanding, and all the instructors were brilliant really knowledgeable and made the whole experience even better.
I would highly recommend anyone to book a session and give it a go. You won’t be disappointed!

Absolutely brilliant, brought for our 10 year old and he loved it. Worth every penny and will be returning when the youngest is old enough

We had a brilliant day with U Drive Cars. The set up was so well organised and clear with waiting times which is so helpful when you have an excited 10 year old asking "how long?" on repeat.

The instructors were kind and supportive and my son had a great day.

The videos (whilst a tad expensive) are great to have and watch back.

Really exciting day for a 15 year old! There was a great vibe at the showground and it was swarming with very excited kids!

The three cars our son drove were with enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides. Would recommend this.

All the staff on duty were welcoming and helpful and the food and drink stall was being run by two super friendly people and quality of merchandise was good

The only criticism was the booking procedure - it was cumbersome and not particularly intuitive. It took many attempts the for system to accept the cars chosen

My 14 year old daughter had THE MOST AMAZING DAY! She not only got to dry a porsche cayman, but she also got to imagine life as a police officer (her dream career) in the police interceptor. The driving instructors, especially the lady in the porsche cayman really made the experience and calm and enjoyable one. My daughter was so nervous, but she was really put at ease by the calming, fun nature of the instructors. Thank you sooooo much!

My 10-year-old, Edward, recently took part in a Junior Drive Day and had the best time. There was only one problem - one of the instructors swore whilst in the car! Ed found it funny but also a little scandalous. Other than that, he had a wonderful day and we would thoroughly recommend the experience for any budding car enthusiast. :)

My son attended and get to drive two cars which he really enjoyed. All positive apart from the queues to check in.

I experienced this with my daughters (14 & 16 yo) they both had an amazing experience first time driving (at speed!). I had an outstanding experience with Peter! I have never 'put my foot to the floor' as he instructed and it was truly enlightening! I felt safe... would certainly have this experience again and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Xx

Fantastic and well organised day.
Suggestion for way forwards - to work out how you can do the collection of photos quicker.
Also the pricing labelling was misleading.
The video was extra and was not stated at the time as being on top of the photos.

An Unforgettable Birthday Turnaround!
I booked a driving experience at the Seven Sisters track in Wigan for my son’s 10th birthday, and while I knew he’d love the idea, the reality was a bit different at first. When we arrived, he became extremely nervous, to the point where he was in tears and didn’t want to get in the car at all.
I cannot thank the team enough, especially the gentleman working the desk who was calling the drivers up. I didn’t catch his name, but he was absolutely incredible with my boy. He stayed so calm, took him aside for a genuine chat, and worked some serious magic. Before we knew it, the nerves had vanished, and he was behind the wheel!
He ended up having the absolute best time, even going on to drive two more cars. He hasn't stopped talking about it since and is already telling all his friends at school. It’s truly a memory he’ll have forever.
A few highlights from our visit:
• Value: Honestly unbelievable value for the experience provided.
• Facilities: The site was very clean and tidy. There is free parking on-site which made things easy.
• Atmosphere: It was very busy (clearly a popular spot!), but it didn’t spoil the day at all. The staff are a great bunch and very professional.
• Pro-Tip: We brought our own chairs, snacks, and even scooters for the kids to use while we waited, which I’d definitely recommend doing.
If you are looking for a unique gift, especially for kids aged 10 and up, look no further. We are so grateful to the man on the desk for turning what could have been a disappointed day into the highlight of my son's year.
Highly, highly recommend!

My son had a great time driving a number of super cars - it was very efficient and a wonderful experience

I pay for photo but I didn't get the photo or video
