  • All tank driving centres obviously strictly prohibit being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  • Though all tank driving centres provide participants with the necessary safety gear, sensible clothes and shoes are required as it will be necessary to climb up and into the tanks.

Tank Driving Centres and Vouchers

Many of the experiences available at tank driving centres are sold via vouchers as opposed to concrete reservations. The advantage of doing so is that the person purchasing a voucher need not select a date and time which would be inconvenient should they be purchasing the experience for somebody else. The person who receives the voucher then has up to ten months to call and reserve a date and time that suits them and the voucher covers the entire cost of the experience.
