Activity based gifts are continuing to grow in popularity this year and one of the most exhilarating is of course the opportunity to drive a tank. There are few vehicles in the world that can truly claim to be capable of driving over anything and short of explosives tanks literally can. There are many tank driving companies that are more than happy to sell you the once in a lifetime experience. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about them.
Where are Tank Driving Companies in the UK Located?
As stated earlier, activity based gifts are growing in popularity and there are now many different companies offering them. Tank driving being one of the best selling activities, there are companies throughout the UK that offer the service. The best means of finding out about them and the exact choice of locations is to simply search online as the majority of companies have detailed websites explaining all about the thrilling service that they offer.
How Much do Tank Driving Companies Charge?
The amount you want to spend on tank driving is largely down to you. While fifteen minutes driving a tank around an obstacle course can cost as little as sixty five pounds in some parts of the UK, entire days out with multiple vehicles and military scenarios can be had for around two hundred and fifty pounds. Of course some people would argue that the only real way to fully experience and enjoy a tank ride is if at some point you get to crush another vehicle. Most people are intrigued to discover that not only do many tank driving companies provide this service, they offer it for under five hundred pounds. And though you can elect to bring your own car, the same price will still apply.
Is Tank Driving Dangerous?
Tank driving is not even remotely dangerous. Of course, if there was a danger it certainly wouldn't be to the driver. All tank driving companies ensure that the driver understands exactly what he is doing before he is given control of the vehicle and the obstacle courses used are designed with both the power of the tanks and the inexperience of the driver in mind. There is therefore no reason whatsoever to even consider safety concerns when it comes to tank driving experiences.
Who Can Use Tank Driving Companies?
Again, the exact requirements do of course depend upon the company in question, there are generally restrictions on the age and height of potential participants. The websites of each company usually outline the specifics but you can generally expect the minimum age to be around twelve years old and the minimum height to be around five feet tall. As well as this all participants are of course prohibited from being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Though some tank companies require potential drivers to hold a driving licence, the majority do not.
