Young Drivers Driving Experiences

Young Drivers: Everything you need to know

Give your kid a head-start on driving lessons with a track day or driving lesson from Wish!

Young Drivers experiences cover everything from thrilling laps around world-famous circuits to preliminary driving lessons to prep them for the real thing. With our thrilling driving days, children can drive a real, full-size supercar such as a Ferrari, an Aston Martin, an Audi R8 or a Porsche. (If your nerves can’t take it, treat them to a session on a quad bike or a new Mini.)

Your child will learn with the help of the very best expert ADI or ARDS tutors, and with the First Time Drive experience, they will share the car, so they’ll also have the chance to make friends as they learn. Young Drivers experiences are fun and safe, and they’re totally legal too.

The experience your child will get will be invaluable as they approach their 17th birthday and begin to learn for real - with that extra preparation, you’ll almost certainly spend less on lessons, and they will find those first few days on the road a little easier as well.

Young driving experiences generally suitable for teenagers, although a minimum height requirement often applies.

FAQs

Q: How old do I need to be to drive?
A: This varies depending on the experience and the car you’ve chosen to drive. Generally you need to be at least 12 years old to take part, although some venues impose slightly higher age limits. It’s up to the individual location to set their own rules, so check the details carefully before you buy. Due to the layout of the various knobs and levers, there’s often a minimum height for young driver experiences as well.
Q: Can we bring friends?
A: If you’re out to make your mates jealous, no problem. Most venues allow space for spectators, although they sometimes charge a fee.
Q: Can we attend on a weekend? I go to school, you see.
A: TMost sessions run on weekdays, so you should have no problem booking a date during the summer holidays for example. You can sometimes choose a weekend instead, but mum and dad may have to stump up a bit of extra cash for this.
Q: Eeek! Kids in cars? Is it safe?
A: Yes mum, it’s safe! All the vehicles the young people drive are specially adapted where necessary. And just like our ‘old drivers’ experiences (that means you, dad), each session is supervised by a qualified and experienced team. All the safety gear the kids need will be provided on the day.
