Important Things

• Our tours may coincide with peak seasonal demand. Overdrive Adventures recommends early booking any flight arrangements soon after tour registration confirmation. Travel insurance is recommended.

• The tours are scheduled at times when the weather is suitable for motor vehicle touring. However, we cannot control or foresee adverse weather. Our tours run rain or shine; however, we will not drive in dangerous conditions or extreme weather.

• Many of the tours include National Monuments and Parks which prohibit the possession of firearms or weapons. For this reason, Overdrive Adventures strongly discourages possessing firearms while on a tour.

• Drinking of alcoholic beverages is not allowed while we are driving. Also, we do not allow illegal drugs of any kind on our tours.

INTRODUCTION

Overdrive Adventures™ offers a variety of driving events for your enjoyment. We strive for safe and fun events; however, driving is an inherently dangerous activity. The paved public routes may include winding roadways with the possibility of gravel/sand on roadways or even debris on the pavement as well as all types of weather elements. Motor vehicle touring exposes you to all types of temperature, climate, and significant elevation changes related to the region in which we are touring. This is not the tour for the beginner driver nor a place / trip to learn how to drive. You and any passenger in your vehicle must be in good health and adapted to driving for long periods during the day.
