4. Why do prices for some activities vary from location to location?

We use a variety of suppliers across the UK. Some may offer slightly different itineraries or equipment. For example, rally schools use different classes of cars, which affects the cost of the activity. As far as possible, we have included full details of activities in the long description and agenda sections of the product pages to help you decide.
