How does the test drive work?

We want your test drive to be as enjoyable and informative as possible. Here is a quick guide to how your appointment will work on the day:

1. Before you arrive

  • when to arrive: We kindly ask that you arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment time so we can complete a quick paperwork check.
  • what to bring: Please remember to bring your valid UK driving licence. (The retailer will need to verify this before you can drive)
  • bring a guest: You are more than welcome to bring a friend or family member along! Having a passenger is a great way to get a second opinion on comfort, space, and the overall ride.

2. At the retailer

When you arrive, a friendly Renault sales advisor will greet you, check your driving licence, and introduce you to your chosen vehicle. They will walk you through the key features, technology, and controls so you feel completely comfortable before setting off.

3. Out on the road

Your test drive will typically last around 30 minutes. This gives you plenty of time to experience how the car handles on different road types, test its performance, and try out the latest onboard technology (such as our E-Tech hybrid modes or driver assistance systems).
