Nope. It's very different to driving your average car, so there's no advantage in knowing how to drive! If you opt for the military vehicle drives you don't need a licence as you're on private land, but you will need to know how to drive as these are like big trucks with the usual gears and pedals.

Height and weight limits vary according to the vehicles and at each location, but in general, for the adult tank driving sessions you need to be at least 16 years old. Minimum height varies from 4ft to 5ft, with maximum height 6ft 4". Maximum weight is 20 stone. For the military vehicles the lower age limit is often 17 years. Passengers can be as young as 8 in most cases.

Yes. We have a brilliant experience that combines tank driving with a madcap game of paintball, so you'll be trundling along trying to splat the enemy as you go! We have to say, tank driving and paintballing combined is a great choice for hen and stag group outings.

Quite often you'll be a passenger in the tank or vehicle when you're not driving. This is especially the case in the Armoured Personnel Carrier, as the rear of the tank has a purpose built cabin for transporting troops. Same for the Army trucks, there may be room up front in the cabin or on the rear platform for passengers. Some venues offer passenger rides for friends and family who are there to spectate as well.

Some venues do have water splashes that you may be able to drive your tank or military vehicle through. Make sure you have a read of the itinerary for the tank driving day you're interested in to see just what you'll be doing.

All tank driving venues are off-road and most have purpose-built tank and military vehicle driving courses, which include things likes bumps, drops and hills for you to tackle. As those tracks churn up the earth, expect it to be pretty dirty and muddy out there, so dress appropriately.

Yes we do. These are all listed on our  Junior Tank Driving pages  . You can even buy experiences for little kids and big kids (i.e. Mums and Dads) to all go tank driving together.

We've got FV432s, the renowned Armoured Personnel Carrier tanks, we've got rare Russian tanks and we've got the behemoth that is the Chieftain tank. As well as all these fully-tracked tanks, there's also an impressive collection of military vehicles for you to drive, from 6x6 DAF Army Trucks, to special edition Army Landys and go-anywhere ArgoCats.

Yes! For some of our experiences driving the tank over a poor, innocent family hatchback is the reward for the best driver of the day. Other suppliers offer specific tank driving sessions, where the whole aim of your session is to drive over the car. Make sure you check each page for the details, or get in touch with us for more info by email, on-line chat or 01959 578100.

Yes! This is by far the most talked about tank when it comes to driving these military monsters. It's also the biggest one we have on the books, so little wonder it attracts so much interest. We have several suppliers offering Chieftain tank driving experiences.

You need to wear comfortable clothes for being outdoors. Most tank driving operators provide overalls and helmets. As for what you wear on your feet, prepare for it to be muddy out there, so wellies or sturdy boots are best.

Normally for these experiences you'll be at the controls of the tank with the hatch open, so you can see where you're going. It feels a bit weird, as you're using your hands on the levers inside the tank, but looking out above the hatch to see where you are. On some experiences, you may get to try driving the tank with the hatch closed - please see each individual experience page for the full details of what each experiences entails.

Yes. The tanks and military vehicles are usually Army surplus, so once decommissioned, they get sold off. Many of the tanks have served in front-line battle zones, so you can't get much more authentic when it comes to genuine military tank driving experiences.

Again, lots of people ponder this question. The short answer is 'yes - sometimes' and you can read all about how and  when you can drive a tank on the public roads  in our in-depth blog article. So yes, in theory you can jump in your Chieftain and drive your tank down to your local McDonalds…

We thought you'd ask this! It's totally different to any other vehicle you will have driven, which is why we put together this handy little  video to explain just how you drive a tank  and how these full-tracked beasts move and steer. Just remember, there's no steering wheel on a tank, it's all levers!

Well despite being big and robust on the outside, conditions for the driver inside a tank are often cramped and pretty dark - especially when the hatch is closed! Take the FV432 Armoured Personnel Carrier for example. Climb in and you'll find your knees are pretty much up against the two main control levers (yep, it's levers rather than a steering wheel!) and the speedo is mounted next to you at thigh height. As for the seat, well there's no back rest on it and it's more like a little leather stool you perch on. Still, comfort probably wasn't high on the list of priorities when such battle zone machines were designed...
