How GRIDSERVE electric car test drives work

We offer back to back test drives of the very latest electric cars on the market at our Electric Forecourt® locations.

Step 1: Book your test drive

You can book your test drive online today. Simply pick the car you want to test drive from our online showroom & book your chosen date & time.

Once you have booked your test drive, you will receive an email confirming your booking.

If you’d prefer, you can simply turn up at one of our Electric Forecourt® locations and test drive the same day - our EV Experience team will be happy to help. Just make sure you bring your driving licence with you!

Step 2: Check your documents & eligibility

Before you can take your chosen electric car out for a spin, we’ll need to check over a few things first...

We use an online automated system called Veriff to match your identity to your driving licence - for full details on how this works click here. You must be able to demonstrate that you;

  • are a UK resident
  • hold a current full (not provisional) UK driver’s licence, that has been valid for at least 2 years.
  • are aged 25 years old or over for an unaccompanied drive, or 21 years or over for an accompanied drive, and have more than two years driving experience on a full driving licence.
  • have no more than 6 points accrued on Your licence in the last 2 years.

Step 3: Sign your test drive agreement

After we have successfully verified your identity and driving licence you will receive and email containing a link to the Test Drive Agreement document and Terms and Conditions – you’ll need to review and sign the agreement (you can do this electronically) before your test drive booking is confirmed.

Once you have signed the document you will receive email confirmation of your test drive booking.

Full terms and conditions can be found here.

Step 4: Test drive your chosen electric car

Whether you’re an expert, or completely new to EVs, our electric car experts will be able to show you how the car works, how to charge and some its best features before you drive.

All test drives are unassisted (if you're aged 25 and over and have more than two years driving experience on a full driving licence) and and we can tailor your route to best suit your needs.
