Buying gifts for someone that loves cars? Here are just a few incredible gift ideas to consider…

Track day tickets

When it comes to gifts that are experiences, track day tickets are an excellent choice. Take a look into tracks in your area and look out for events that your petrolhead loved one is likely to appreciate. Depending on the event, the price of the tickets is likely to vary. For those that are willing to splash out, it could be worth looking into podium seating or even getting premium tickets that allow access to the drivers’ lounge.

Luxury car driver experience

An experience gift could be the opportunity to drive a luxury car. These experience packages allow you to choose from a range of car models. You then get the opportunity to drive around a track whilst supervised by a professional. Some of these experience packages also include a free passenger ride whilst the professional races the car around the track at full speed. These can be great experiences for thrill-seekers.

A private license plate

Another cool gift idea could be a private plate. You could try looking for plates that contain initials or the recipient’s year of birth in the registration number. It could even be a plate for ornamental purposes. If the recipient is planning on using the plate on their car, you may want to notify them that they should confirm this first with the DVLA.

Car care kit

Some car owners care a lot about the appearance of their vehicle. If the person you’re buying for is the type of person that likes to meticulously clean their car, it could be worth buying a car care kit. These contain wax and polish that can help give your car’s exterior a brand new sheen. When looking into these car care kits, it’s important that you buy a kit that’s appropriate for their model of car – some waxes and varnishes will cause damage to bodywork if used on the wrong material (for example, chrome alloys need their own special polish).

Manufacturer branded watch

For a car-related fashion accessory, you could try looking into a manufacturer branded watch. Everyone from Audi to Ferrari has their own branded wristwatch available to buy. These watches aren’t cheap – especially from a major sports car brand like Ferrari – so bear this in mind. Second-hand sites like eBay may have better deals on these types of watches.

Diagnostic wristband

Pretty much the Fitbit of the car world, this device allows you to take diagnostics of your car as you drive that tell you how smoothly you’re driving and whether you could be making improvements. These are great gadgets for people that are obsessed with driving economically.
