FAQs

Do I need a special license to drive the truck?

No, you do not need a commercial HGV license. The experience takes place on private land under the supervision of an instructor.

Is the truck automatic or manual?

The truck features a 16-speed manual gearbox.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable, flat-soled footwear that provides good pedal feel. Avoid bulky boots or high heels.

What is the damage waiver?

It is an optional insurance product you can purchase at booking to limit your financial liability if the vehicle is damaged during your session.

Are there extra costs at the venue?

Some premium venue locations carry a supplement fee; please verify this during the booking process.

Can I bring a passenger to sit in the cab?

Safety regulations usually restrict cab access to the driver and the qualified instructor; check with the specific venue for their guest policy.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty shifting gears

The 16-speed gearbox is complex; listen to your instructor for timing and ensure you are not forcing the stick into position.

Stalling the engine

Heavy-duty vehicles have high-bite clutches. Engage the clutch slowly and keep engine revs consistent.

Pros and Cons

Opportunity to operate a massive commercial vehicle in a safe environment
Expert one-on-one guidance from qualified HGV instructors
Challenging course that develops precision driving skills
High-adrenaline experience for car enthusiasts

Cons

Supplement fees apply at premium venue locations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Upon arrival, you must first check in with the on-site team and present your booking documentation. You will then attend a mandatory safety briefing where the instructor will cover the vehicle's blind spots and control layout. As this is a real, high-value commercial vehicle, all drivers are required to sign a liability disclaimer. It is strongly recommended to review the optional damage waiver cover during your booking process to mitigate potential costs in the event of an incident. Ensure you wear comfortable, flat-soled shoes to allow for the precise pedal control required for the heavy clutch and brake systems.
