Unfortunately, we can only offer this service on request for special events or incentives. However, we will be glad to recommend a suitable hotel near the training location in question and put you in contact.
Generally speaking, anyone who holds a valid driving licence and is fit to drive can benefit from our training courses. They are especially suitable for beginners, young motorists and those who do not drive frequently. 17-year-olds can take part in training courses for young drivers accompanied by the person whose name is entered in their driving licence. Here the same special conditions apply to the escort as to the young driver. In this case, we hope you appreciate that registrations must be made in writing. We will also be glad to provide you with telephone support on +49 (0) 18 05-32 47 37 (0.14 €/min on German landline, maximum 0.42 €/min on German mobile phone). Monday – Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm.
You will receive a booking confirmation not later than three working days after booking. Approx. 14 days before the event we will provide you with exact details of the program, the hotel and how to get there. Bookings placed at short notice will be confirmed by other means if necessary.
For training courses which include overnight accommodation, we will be pleased to book a double room for you rather than a single room. We would kindly ask you to pay the difference at the hotel.
Please refer to our General Terms and Conditions for details of exact cancellation fees.
Generally, training courses which include overnight accommodation can be booked without accommodation. In this case we reimburse you with € 50.00. However, we recommend you to make use of the accommodation provided as it gives you the opportunity to engage in discussion with others.
Unfortunately, we can only offer this service on request for special events or incentives. Those aged under 16 may only enter the training location if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The increase in road traffic safety which you acquire on a BMW Driving Experience course is something which all licence-holders can benefit from, no matter whether they drive a BMW or any other brand.

There are no limits to individualised programs here - simply ask us and we will compile a detailed offer for you.
All our professional instructors are fully qualified. For organisational reasons we cannot guarantee you will have a specific instructor, however.
Generally, all participants and the vehicles provided by us have accident insurance through BMW. If you bring your own vehicle, this will be covered by your regular insurance as in road traffic. For details see our General Terms and Conditions.
Whether or not concessions are offered after completion of one of our courses depends on your insurance. Please contact your insurance company for further details.
We will be pleased to provide you with automatic vehicles on request (provided the vehicle is available with automatic transmission). In the case of special conversions you can take part with your vehicle by prior agreement.

All the data you enter are transmitted with SSL, an established data encryption method used successfully for the secure transmission of data in the Internet. The encryption process makes sure that the data you submit cannot be read or accessed by unauthorised third parties.

Depending on the course type, theory sessions can last between 40 and 120 minutes per course. In the theory sessions you learn about the fundamentals of driving physics and discuss the details of the course program.
If you hold a valid driving licence and are fit to drive, we look forward to welcoming you to our training courses. Consult our course descriptions to find out whether previous attendance at other training courses is required for certain courses.
We will be pleased to issue a voucher for the training course of your choice. Please note that we cannot reimburse the amount paid for a voucher. Vouchers can of course be transferred to other individuals who fulfil the requirements for BMW Driving Experience courses, however, and/or they can count towards training courses which cost more. The normal period of validity applies.
