Why Dolomites Driving Club

Built for people who book the long way round.

Here are roads people take holidays for: cold tarmac, tight hairpins, long climbs and that short window in the morning before the coaches and camper vans arrive.

Dolomites Driving Club starts small. One car, hand-picked, full of character. Plus routes we drive ourselves. For hotel guests, locals with a free weekend, companies and enthusiasts. Or as a gift voucher.

FAQ

The questions before you ask.

The individually issued rental contract is binding.

Is the Lotus comprehensively insured?+

Yes. Liability and comprehensive cover are included (collision, theft, fire, natural events). The excess in case of damage is max. €5,000 and equals the deposit. In case of gross negligence, alcohol/drugs, an unauthorised driver, track use, drifting or driving outside the permitted area, the renter is fully liable.

What are the requirements?+

Minimum age 30 and a driving licence held for at least 7 years. Original licence, valid ID and the main driver's credit card for the deposit.

How much is the deposit?+

€5,000 as a pre-authorisation on the main driver's credit card. It is released after the documented return.

Where can I drive?+

In South Tyrol, Trentino and the province of Belluno. Other areas only with written approval. Race tracks and competitions are excluded.

Is the car fitted with GPS?+

Yes. The Lotus has GPS, front and rear dashcams and telemetry (location, speed, driving data). This serves safety, theft protection and protection against misuse such as drifting, racing or driving outside the permitted area. Details in the privacy policy.

What about cancellation?+

Cancellation at least 21 days before the start: the reservation payment is refunded. 8 to 20 days before: 40% of the rental price remains due. Within 7 days or no-show: the full price. In case of rain or unsafe conditions we move your date free of charge within the same season.

Which fuel is required?+

What do extra kilometres cost?+

€3.00 per kilometre. Tolls and parking are not included. Fines incurred during the rental are paid by the renter (plus a handling fee).

How does a gift voucher work?+

Any amount or a package (day/weekend), valid for 18 months and transferable to another eligible person. Not redeemable for cash. Redemption subject to availability; the same driver requirements apply.
