Classic & Vintage Car Driving Experiences

Both! We've got a whole range of classic car driving experiences including both on road and on track sessions. Have a browse and see if you fancy cruising along carefully chosen country roads, or want to hoon it around a race circuit. You can do either with Into The Blue!

Well, that all comes down to personal preference. Some may prefer the exhilaration of learning race craft out on the track, whilst others might lap the luxury of spending a longer amount of time behind the wheel on a road trip. The road trips are probably more leisurely and make for an ideal day out in the countryside.

The classic car hire packages are all self-drive. Some are run as an accompanied road trips where you'll all set off in convoy. Others are totally self-guided with a pre-loaded SatNav route that you follow. And for some, you get the car for a certain amount of time and it's up to you where you go. If you're out on the track, an expert instructor will be in the front passenger to give you all the hints and tips about hitting that perfect racing line to help you get the most out of the car.

Nope. Although we do have an awful lot of classic British cars on the books, there are some awesome classic American motors too. And you can even book a slot in a vintage rally car.

Jaguars without a doubt. The E-Type is widely revered by motoring aficionados as one of the most beautiful cars ever built, so if you're driving one of these classics on the open road, expect to get lots of admiring glances, people waving and tooting their horns too!

Yes. Basic insurance is included. On track days you may be offered the chance to buy optional insurance to cover the excess. For the on road experiences, insurance is included too and once again, there may well be an excess to pay in the event of any damage/accident. All the nitty gritty of the hire or track day insurance is detailed on each product page, or contact us via the on-line chat, email or 'phone for more info.

On the accompanied convoy-style group road trips, fuel is included. If it's a self-hire package where you get the car for 24 hours and you go where you like, you may have a limit on miles and/or fuel that's included in the package. Classic car experiences on the track all have fuel included.

We offer both. The hosted road trips are run in small groups, with regular stops so you can swop cars. These usually last a half or full day. On the self-guided trips, you will follow a set route at your own pace, within the limits of the time allowed.

Quite often yes! This is what makes these drives out in classic cars so convivial. Organisers know all the best places to stop, so it might be a delightful Cotswold inn for lunch, or a cosy tea room for cream tea.

This all depends on how long your hire period is for. You could cover say, 150 miles on a full day trip, which includes stop offs to change car/driver, refreshment stops and even time to take pics of the landmarks on your travels. The full details of each trip itinerary can be found on each individual product page, so you can see if it's the right one for you.

Yes! You can choose the number of cars you'd like to drive on our multi drive experiences AND you can then request which cars from the fleet you'd like to drive. Of course, it's not guaranteed, but the organisers will do their very best for you. And remember, due to unforeseen circumstances, cars out on the day can change from the ones listed on our website.

They do, but these classics are all kept in tip-top showroom condition, with a team of in-house mechanics looking after them and making sure they all have current MoTs for driving them on the public roads. All that doesn't come cheap, which is why you're better off hiring a classic car rather than buying one yourself and endlessly sinking money into it!

Several of our hire packages will allow you to invite a passenger (or passengers if there are rear seats) to join you. Other road trips are organised with two drivers in each car and you swap. You can buy a driver + passenger voucher, so you don't have to share the driving with anyone. Obviously on track-based experiences, no passengers are allowed.

No. Even if there are several cars out on the circuit at the same time, there is no element of racing involved. There's a special protocol if you are overtaking or being overtaken, but in essence it's all about you connecting with car and getting the most out of it for yourself and not against anyone else or even the clock.

Yes a licence is essential if it's an on-road classic car drive. For the circuit drives it's on private land, so it's not a legal obligation, but nearly all operators ask that you have a full driving licence.
