Your FAQs for Driving Tours

Pre-Tour

What type of tours do we offer?

We provide European tours that maintain a driver focused theme with a luxury flare.

Are the tours self guided or group escorted?

We offer both group escorted tours, where you will join the Drive Elite team and a group of like minded holidaymakers, and self guided tours, where you can embrace your individuality to manage your own way.

How many cars are on the group tours?

We operate small group tours, with between 16 to 20 people and 8 to 10 cars. Our tour numbers are designed to ensure an exclusive group but large enough to provide access to private tours and track experiences.

What are the people like on tour?

Luckily, they are like you! Our tours include a mix of individual travellers, couples, driving pairs and friendship groups. The common denominators being a love of adventure, luxury experiences and, of course, driving or cars. Our tours are not "boy racer events" - bucket list driving experiences paired with a luxury flare. Not only do we have many partners join our tours as co-drivers, we also have many female passengers and staff.

What is the cost for my partner to attend?

Pricing for our tours is based on one car with two people occupying the vehicle - so if they're already included they might as well join the adventure! Often, driving is split between the two occupants to your liking. If you are travelling as a solo driver, we can discuss any alteration in price due to one less occupant.

How do I sign up?

To sign up to a Tour, just head to our contact page and submit your details. From here one of the team will contact you to finalise the booking and answer any remaining queries you may have.
