U Drive Cars Avis 

Excellent team, very welcoming and happy to help. My son got the chance to drive 5 supercars and have a high speed passenger lap in the Atom which he loved. He absolutely loved the experience and great value for money.

The only aspects they could improve, was that sometimes he was stuck behind a nervous driver in front and couldn't always overtake and when you only get 3 laps per car this can impact the experience. The only other frustration was that in his Atom laps he had to keep the car in 5th gear for the full laps.

Excellent and very well organised

Northampton track. My son had the best afternoon. Cars were great, instructors brilliant. Generally well organised. Slightly longer wait for 3rd drive but on the whole things moved along nicely. Be prepared for lots of tempting extra spending. Not a negative, but worth reading up about it. Would highly recommend and my son keen to do again.

Great day and very well organised

Drivers were excellent and great location

Excellent experience from start to finish. Booked Caterham tuition for my son for Xmas present and he had an amazing time. The staff cannot do enough for you & his instructor was very patient and had Lou bombing round the circuit by the end of his session. He could have stayed in the car all afternoon! We also did the high speed experience for two laps with Tony in a GTI Golf, OMG that's how to experience Brands Hatch! Would use this company again and recommend highly.

Our son thoroughly enjoyed his birthday present at Brands Hatch, exhilarating. The only thing that went against you on the day was lack of toilet facilities that could be used.
The toilets near the sign in centre only 1 cubicle in use and the ones near the tunnel were locked up , we were told that this was because plumbers had been to fix but had locked them up in error which is unacceptable due to the crowds of people that attended

I had the ten car experience as a 50th birthday present. It was great from start to finish. The team couldn’t have been more helpful if they tried. The fact I had so many cars booked meant I was placed into the waiting chairs for each new car straight away. I felt like a VIP. Outstanding service, the Arial Atom was mental!
Just do it you won’t regret it.

Had a great experience, good instructor who was calm and patient. Everyone i came into contact with from parking, registration and the media centre, were all very helpful and friendly. The day was very busy with lots going on but it appeared to be well managed and organised. Facilities adequate, nothing special but the ice cream was fantastic, a proper 99 with a flake.
They recommend taking your own chair as a spectator, this is very good advice.
They appear to be very transparent with policy, fees and advice for your experience and the experience for spectators.
I would not hesitate to book with them again.

A fantastic day celebrating my 18th birthday! Thank you to all of the staff and instructors for going above and beyond.

My truck driving experience was just amazing.

A highly experience former US truck driver was an excellent instructor.

Enjoy the experience very much and I will highly recommend U Drive. They also have a huge selection of exciting cars to drive.

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! Great selection of cars, brilliant staff and a really friendly atmosphere throughout the day.
The kids absolutely loved it and haven't stopped talking about it since. Everyone was helpful, welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the whole experience even better.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun family day out, and we'll certainly be coming back again in the future. Thanks for making some great memories!

My partner bought me a HGV driving experience and I was so excited but also very nervous!

My instructor was Gary who was a 10/10 instructor! Made the whole experience calm and enjoyable and said how great I was, a duck to water and to go for my HGV licence!

What a brilliant afternoon it was 🤩

Excellent day out very well organised, and a great price for what you get.

We had an amazing experience. The staff were brilliant and it really was an experience of a lifetime for my son.

Very busy day but it was so well organised. Lovely staff and drivers, and the cars just wow.
The talent of the drivers is outstanding. The only thing to think about would be to cover the waiting area so people are not sat in the blazing sun, temps were in the 30's that day.

Had an amazing experience driving a HGV and has also pushed me to go for my HGV licence so definitely amazing.

Staff, cars, place was amazing as well as the trust and efficiency that you got in and out of the cars on the day. Only slightly negative thing is that out of the 3 cars I chose only 1 was available on the day. However, I was immediately offered different cars with no additional cost if it was a more exclusive one which made up for it completely. Overall absolutely loved it

great day at Abingdon with Udrive cars (Car Chase Heroes) well organised with great cars and great instructors. It rained 5 mins before my last drive in the McLaren 570 GT4 but that did not put a dampener on things. I have already booked again for a half day's track tuition in a Caterham 7

This was bought for my son as a gift. He absolutely LOVED it!!!!
He only had the pleasure of driving one car, but I know he would love to go again and drive more! The accompanying adult was great too and helped him feel confident for his first time behind the wheel.
He also got to enjoy the atom ride reaching super high speeds.
From entering the place to leaving, it was an all round great day and we'd happily return.
The only thing I could say needs improvement is the clarity of the tannoy system used to call out the driver for their slot. This wasn't the clearest and could be hard to hear, especially with the cars whizzing up and down the track in the background.

Without question, this was the most disappointing experience I have ever paid for. Save your money and go and go to trackdays.co.uk or driftlimits.co.uk instead!

My partner bought me a driving experience for my birthday, expecting an exciting day out. What we got instead was a chaotic, disorganised and relentlessly money-driven operation that seemed far more interested in extracting additional payments than delivering the experience people had already paid for.

The voucher is merely the starting point. Once booked, you're met with a constant stream of extra charges. I selected a McLaren, which cost an additional £40 on top of the voucher price. That was just the beginning.

We arrived at 9:30am as instructed and were checked in by a member of staff who, despite being mistaken herself, chose to loudly and publicly belittle my girlfriend in front of other customers. An embarrassing and unnecessary start to the day.

The next stop was another tent where we were required to hand over a further £38 "damage deposit" and subjected to yet more upselling. At every stage there seemed to be another opportunity for them to ask for more money.

By 9:45am we were fully checked in and ready to go. The booking system suggested I would be driving the McLaren within 20 minutes and my second car within 40 minutes.

By midday, I hadn't driven a single car.

For over two hours the system continued to tell me I was "20 minutes away" from driving. The estimates appeared completely meaningless – a masterclass in over-promising and under-delivering.

Eventually my name was called and I was directed to a waiting area consisting of camping chairs beside the track. After yet more waiting, I asked what was happening and was casually informed that the McLaren was in the mechanics.

Nobody told me.

Nobody offered an alternative.

Nobody apologised.

Instead, they simply left me sitting there indefinitely while a queue built up behind me for the same car.

When the McLaren finally became available, I was struck by how poor its condition was. The interior was filthy, with heavily stained cream seats that looked as though they hadn't been cleaned in months. It was a far cry from the "premium" supercar experience being advertised.

The instructor did little to improve matters. Having never driven a car like this before, some guidance and encouragement would have been appreciated. Instead, I was repeatedly snapped at and spoken to in a manner that made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.

The most astonishing moment came during the only brief opportunity I had to accelerate properly. While travelling at speed, the instructor leaned over and attempted to sell me an additional lap for £20.

At that moment, making a sale appeared to be a higher priority than allowing me to concentrate on driving safely.

When I declined, his attitude deteriorated further. As I manoeuvred the car back into an area occupied by pedestrians, other drivers and children, he continued making dismissive comments about my driving while telling me I should have paid for a "sightseeing lap".

By that stage, I genuinely no longer wanted to continue with the day.

However, having travelled all the way from London, I waited for my second driving experience. By 1pm, the system was still claiming I was only 20 minutes away from driving, despite the second car also apparently being in the mechanics.

After waiting over three and a half hours for what amounted to only a few minutes behind the wheel, we finally gave up and left.

Perhaps most concerning of all were the apparent safety standards. Children were driving high-performance vehicles while sitting on makeshift sofa cushions to reach the pedals. No crash helmets were provided. Members of the public wandered through areas where vehicles were actively moving, while inexperienced drivers attempted to park powerful cars in close proximity to pedestrians and other supercars. Meanwhile, instructors appeared more focused on upselling additional laps than maintaining focus on safety.

It felt chaotic, poorly managed and unnecessarily risky.

We subsequently raised our concerns directly with UDrive and Car Chase Heroes. Their response was effectively indifference. Rather than addressing the issues raised, they appeared entirely unconcerned and even welcomed negative reviews.

What should have been a memorable birthday experience became an expensive lesson in disappointment. We spent over three and a half hours waiting for a few minutes of driving and left feeling frustrated, disappointed and thoroughly ripped off.

If you're considering a driving experience, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
