Checking In for Your Ferrari Experience
Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure. This gives us enough time to check your license and help you get comfortable in the car.
Check-in is simple. There is no driving test or long training session. If you already feel comfortable driving a regular car, you should have no trouble following the briefing.
Getting Familiar with the Ferrari
Your copilot will show you the controls before the drive. They will help you adjust the seat and mirrors, explain the gears, and point out anything that may feel different from your usual car.
You do not need to study anything beforehand. The introduction covers what you need for the experience and usually takes only a few minutes.
The Ferrari Is Automatic – Just Get In and Enjoy the Drive
Great news: our Ferrari California T is automatic, so you don’t need any experience driving a manual or stick-shift car.
If you’re comfortable driving an automatic vehicle at home, you’ll find the basics very familiar. Of course, this is a Ferrari, so expect more power, quicker response, and a much more exciting feeling behind the wheel! Your co-pilot will be right beside you to help you get comfortable and enjoy the experience.
This is a sightseeing experience on public roads, not a race, but selected packages include a faster driving stretch where you can let the Ferrari come alive, feel its thrilling acceleration, and experience more of the power and performance that make driving a Ferrari unforgettable.
You’ll hear the Ferrari engine come alive, feel the car respond beneath you, cruise through Hollywood, and experience the smiles, looks, and attention that come with driving a Ferrari in Los Angeles.
No manual-driving experience required, just bring your driver’s license and get ready to feel like a star.
Your Copilot Is Right There With You
From the moment you get behind the wheel, your copilot is there to help you relax, enjoy the drive, and make the most of your Ferrari experience.
Your copilot rides beside you throughout the experience, knows the Ferrari, knows the route, and guides you every step of the way. There’s no need to worry about checking maps, searching for street signs, or figuring out where to turn.
Need to change lanes? Coming up on a turn? Your copilot will give you plenty of notice so you can stay focused on what matters most: driving the Ferrari and enjoying the moment.
It’s especially reassuring if this is your first time driving in Los Angeles, you get the excitement of being behind the wheel without having to navigate the city on your own.
First Time Driving in Los Angeles? No Problem.
Los Angeles may look busy at first, but you’re never navigating it alone.
Your copilot knows the local streets, traffic patterns, and your experience route, so you can simply follow their guidance, stay attentive, and drive at a pace that feels comfortable.
Feeling a few butterflies when you first sit behind the wheel of a Ferrari is completely normal, it’s part of the excitement! Once you become familiar with the controls and start driving, most guests quickly relax and begin enjoying the incredible feeling of being behind the wheel.
Before long, you’ll be cruising through Los Angeles, hearing the Ferrari engine, feeling the car respond beneath you, and enjoying an experience you’ll be talking about long after the drive is over.
Rather Sit Back and Enjoy the Ride?
You can experience the Ferrari even if you prefer not to drive at all.
Simply choose our Be-Driven option, and one of our professional drivers takes the wheel while you sit back and enjoy the ride.
Feel the open-air California atmosphere, take in the Hollywood scenery, capture photos and videos, and enjoy all the attention that comes with cruising through Los Angeles in a Ferrari, without having to think about driving.
Choose Your Ferrari Experience
Ride Like A Star offers several routes in Los Angeles. You can choose a short Hollywood drive or spend more time in the Ferrari with a Hollywood Sign or Beverly Hills experience.
20-Minute Hollywood Experience
The 20-minute experience is a quick drive through Hollywood. It is a good introduction for first-time guests or travelers with a busy schedule.
This route does not include a Hollywood Sign photo stop. You can still take photos and videos with the Ferrari in the parking area before departure.
30-Minute Hollywood Sign Viewpoint Experience
The 30-minute route includes the Fast Lane and a photo stop at a viewpoint overlooking the Hollywood Sign.
This option gives you time to enjoy the Ferrari while also getting a classic Los Angeles photo. Your copilot can help take pictures during the stop, which means everyone in your group can be included.
50-Minute Hollywood Sign Experience
The 50-minute experience also includes the Fast Lane and takes you closer to the Hollywood Sign.
Choose this route if you want more time behind the wheel and a fuller Hollywood drive. It is a popular option for visitors who may only get one chance to experience a Ferrari during their trip.
One-Hour Beverly Hills Experience
The one-hour experience continues toward Beverly Hills and some of Los Angeles’ best-known streets.
The longer route lets you settle into the car and enjoy more of the city. It is a good fit if driving the Ferrari is one of the main activities on your Los Angeles itinerary.
Capture the Ferrari Moment
Your Ferrari experience starts before you even pull away.
You’re welcome to take photos and videos with the Ferrari before your drive, and selected routes also include a dedicated photo stop so you can capture the moment in an unforgettable LA setting.
Your copilot can help take photos while you pose beside the Ferrari, so you can focus on enjoying the experience and getting the shots you came for.
And don’t forget the soundtrack, connect your phone, play your favorite music, put the top down, and enjoy your own Hollywood moment behind the wheel of a Ferrari.
While you’re driving, let your passenger or copilot handle the photos and videos so you can stay focused on the road and fully enjoy the experience.
Ferrari. Hollywood. Your favorite playlist. Your moment.
Bringing Passengers
The copilot occupies the front passenger seat during every Drive-It experience.
The Ferrari California T has two small rear seats that may accommodate smaller passengers for an extra charge. These seats have limited legroom and may not suit taller adults.
Contact us before booking if you plan to bring children or other passengers. We can explain the seating, provide a booster seat or help you choose the best arrangement for your group.
Sharing the Drive with Another Guest
Two guests can drive during the same experience by adding an additional driver for a fee.
Each driver must be at least 18 years old and bring a valid physical license. Your copilot will explain where the driver change can take place during the route.
This option works well for couples, friends, or family members who both want a turn behind the wheel.
