This was such an awesome experience! Let me preface this by saying that I had expectations being that I’ve had a Go Car experience once before but in San Francisco to do a 2 hour tour for my 30th birthday and checked to see if there were any for our Scottsdale trip! I took a chance and booked on trip advisor with Rides N Motion and was NOT disappointed! My bf was the driver in San Francisco and he made me the driver this time around and I’m soooooo happy he did! All of my expectations were met if not exceeded with the exception of 1 thing…the gps. The car we drove in San Fran came with a built-in gps system, whereas our Scottsdale car did not. We had to scan a QR code in the store which downloaded the map route in google maps and used our phones to take us to each location. Again I wasn’t prepared for this as I thought it was built in but nonetheless we got where we needed to go. My phone was at 100% and by the time the experience ended (about 1.5hrs later), it was 11%. With this experience you can choose to make stops at any of the 4 or 5 (I can’t remember how many exactly) locations. We skipped/drove past some which was perfectly fine. My most favorite was an unexpected stop at one of scottsdales most popular hiking trails/mountains. We didn’t go inside because of bees (don’t judge), as the outside of the trail mentioned something about a lot of bees on the trail, and also time and phones about to do. The neighborhood was beautiful. The car itself is electric and the ride was smooth. The car goes up to 70mph and you do drive on the street. The map route we scanned kept us off highways (thank goodness because I was super nervous about this), my max speed was about 40-50mph which I think was due to speed limits on the roads. You are driving with other cars so do the right thing and stay in the car right lane unless you like to drive fast. The guy in the store was very helpful and taught us how to drive the car and told us everything we needed to know and much more! I can’t remember his name but he was awesome. Such a fun experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!!! TRY IT NOW!!
