Event Booking Terms

Last updated: 20 October 2026


These terms apply when you book a Drive Collective (“DC”, “we”, “us”) trip or event. They apply alongside our Membership Terms and our Participation Terms & Disclaimer.


1. Booking


1.1 A booking is confirmed when you have paid the deposit (or the full price) and we have confirmed it by email.

1.2 By booking, you accept these terms and the Participation Terms & Disclaimer, for yourself and any passenger you register.

1.3 Places are limited and allocated in order of payment. Some events are open to paid members only.

1.4 Each booking covers the named driver, vehicle and any registered passenger. Passengers must be registered with and approved by DC in advance.


2. Payment


2.1 Trips require a non-refundable deposit when booking. The deposit amount and the date the balance is due are shown on each event page.

2.2 If the balance is not paid on time, we may cancel the booking and keep the deposit.

2.3 The price includes only what is listed on the event page. Fuel, tolls, crossings, parking, insurance and personal spending are not included unless stated.


3. If you cancel


Tell us by email at info@drivecollective.co.uk. The 14-day cooling-off period does not apply to bookings for events on a specific date. Unless the event page says otherwise, these charges apply:

When you cancel

Refund

More than 8 weeks before the event

Full refund less the deposit

4 to 8 weeks before the event

50% of the price paid

Less than 4 weeks before, or no-show

No refund

You may transfer your place to another DC member with our agreement, at no charge. We will also refund any amount we are able to recover from venues or hotels for your place.


4. If we change or cancel


4.1 We may need to change routes, venues or timings for safety, weather or other reasons. We will tell you as soon as possible.

4.2 If we make a significant change before the event, you may cancel and receive a full refund of what you have paid us.

4.3 If we cancel an event, we will give you a full refund or a transfer to another event.

4.4 We are not liable for events beyond our reasonable control, such as severe weather, road closures, strikes or venue failure. In those cases we will refund what we can recover.

4.5 We are not responsible for travel arrangements you book separately, such as crossings, flights or hotels.


5. Your responsibilities


5.1 You must hold a valid driving licence, fully comprehensive insurance (including cover abroad where relevant) and breakdown cover.

5.2 Your vehicle must be roadworthy and meet local requirements abroad, such as UK identifiers, headlamp adjustments and emissions zone permits.

5.3 You must carry a valid passport and documents for any trip outside the UK. We recommend travel insurance.

5.4 You must follow briefings and instructions from DC officials at all times.


6. Removal from an event


We may remove you, your passenger or your vehicle from an event if your driving or behaviour is unsafe, unlawful or breaches our terms. No refund is due in that case.


7. Liability


7.1 Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything that cannot be limited by law.

7.2 Otherwise, our liability to you is limited to the price you paid for the event.


8. General


These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Your statutory rights are not affected. Questions: info@drivecollective.co.uk.
