Certainly have, but booked it myself, it's only really a hotel and a ferry crossing realistically!

It's an epic trip to make though, so enjoy!

 

Hi nickG

Would you recommend the drive as a self drive? Did you drive the track in your own car and if so did you take the insurance?

Alan

 

Yeah, it's a very easy drive over, no hassle there. I drove my own car, if I'm honest I didn't think you could get insurance on the ring due to the huge level of risk! If you turn up and treat it like you would a spirited drive of a nice public road, rather then a race track, you'll have a great time (safe in the knowledge of no speeding tickets) and shouldn't have any issues.

 

Oh thanks NickG. I must go and look into it and try and book a weekend away.

Cheers
Alan

 

Lots of information on this site plus the option to rent various cars with an instructor if required.

Done it for many years, you dont need to book it through a company.

We take the euro tunnel, its just faster than the ferry although not as cheap.

The drive over is easy, get on a motorway follow it for many hundreds of miles.

Places to stay,
Hotels: I have always used the Burgstube. It's run by an English guy called Martin. Great local knowledge and he will look after you well. About 90 euro a night.

A villa can be a cheaper option if you plan to go as a larger group for longer.

You can drive your own car round in tourist session (TF) (about 27 euro a lap) and I always do however please bare the following information in mind:

You are not insured in any form! You road policy will specifically exclude the nordschleife. As a result if you crash into another car you are personally liable. If you drop fluid and people crash, again you are liable.
If you hit the barrier you will be charged for it replacement. If you break down and need to be towed off you will be charged.

I am not trying to put you off but make you aware.

If you want to hire rent4ring is probably the best and most cost effective package around.

If you have any further questions drop me a message!
