Go-Kart Hire

Go-karts are hired to individuals, families, corporate groups and social groups for recreational use or team building exercises. Go-karts are small four-wheeled motorised vehicles that do not require a license to operate and are generally driven within approved arenas or tracks that are designed for the specific purpose of go-karting.

Go-karts are not legal for use on the open road or for purposes other than which they are designed. Go-kart racing is viewed as a sport by some users who race competitively, but most go-kart users are looking for recreational fun and excitement with friends, family and colleagues. Go-karts are hired out for use by operators who offer hourly hire rates or package rates for groups and special events. The range of hirers of go-karts is broad and can include everyone from bucks-night revellers to school campers. Go-karts differ in speed, performance and function and although there is no age limit or restriction on the ability of the user, organisers exercise discretion when allocating go-karts for hire so that a hirer’s skill and ability is matched with an appropriate performance level of a vehicle.

Driver safety is paramount and safety measures such as the wearing of seat belts, crash helmets, and protective clothing are required by most go-kart operators. Venues operate both indoors and outdoors. Indoor venues are stadium-like and often offer viewing platforms, big screens, cafes or bars and conference facilities. Outdoor venues have the ability to offer the same services but are open to all weather conditions which can make the use of go-karts either perilous or more thrilling, whichever way you view it. Venues are most popular on weekends and during holiday periods but are also open during the week. Most venues will accommodate private bookings upon request but generally operate on an open-door basis.
