The Main Event

Ever wondered how hard it is to drive a truck? Well now it's your chance to find out!

Saddle up behind a monster of a vehicle and reign it in to take control.

With expert truck drivers navigating you through the experience you’ll be led through a specifically designed track where you’ll have to slalom through obstacles and go through a series of challenges – including reverse parking!

Think you’ve got what it takes to reign the beast? This day is perfect for the competitive type!

Who Can Go

What about Insurance?

The centres contracted with us hold public liability insurance. We also hold contingency liability cover.

Some operators require customers to complete an indemnity/damage waiver form prior to taking the experience. This may state the driver is liable for a fixed amount of costs should they damage the vehicle whilst driving. Most operators are able to provide additional insurance to cover this at a small additional fee, payable on site. The purchase of this is optional and is in addition to the public liability insurance held by all venues. The full details of any indemnity or damage waiver and additional insurance will be provided by the activity operator. WonderDays is unable to advise or comment on the content or suitability of any such waiver or additional insurance.

How it Works

All you have to do is pay for the experience you wish to purchase and we’ll send a voucher and booking information to you or directly to the recipient, then you just need to check the info and book your experience.

FAQs

Can we spectate?
Yes, there are outside spectator areas so please dress appropriately

How long do I drive for?
20 minutes driving time in your 45 ft truck

What do I need to wear?
Please be aware that all driving experiences are completely outdoors and open to the elements. It's always worth packing a coat or umbrella even if the forecast looks sunny as airfields and circuits tend to be very windy!

Drivers should wear sensible shoes or trainers for driving and comfy trousers.

Do all trucks run in the rain?
Yes, events are run in all weathers unless it is deemed so extreme that is unsafe to be on track.

Do I have to drive quickly?
Not at all, our trainers will help you enjoy the drive however you would like to.

What happens on the day?
The time that you are choosing is your arrival time and will not be the time you start driving. Please be aware that you will need to allow up to 3 hours at the venue from your session start time to complete your experience.

Trucks - There are three truck drivers booked in per hourly session - each with a 20 minute slot. Please note that the 20 minute session includes all time in the cab including a quick talk through the controls and also any of your own photo taking opportunities. For example, if you are booked in for the 10.30am session, please make sure you are signed in by this time, and your unique drive time slot will be between 11am and 12pm. Please do still allow 2-3 hours at the venue in case of any delays.

Photograph and video packages are available on the day, ranging from £25-£60 dependant on the package chosen and footage available.

Are the cars insured?

Yes but there is a £5,000 damage excess that is payable by the driver if any damage is caused whilst they are behind the wheel. You can cover yourself against the excess with an optional £29 damage waiver (available upon booking or on the day). This is a non-refundable payment. Please ensure you bring a credit card on the day if you are opting out of the damage waiver. This must be a card with a minimum £5000 limit. Please note our payment systems do not accept American Express.

Can people with additional needs enjoy this experience?

Yes, all instructors have completed training to ensure that they can work with people with additional needs such as ADHD, autism and visual impairment.
