Safety, Rules, and Hire

To help ensure the event runs smoothly, safeguard our equipment, and protect the children using it, we kindly ask that the adult making the booking follows the safety rules outlined below.

The adult who booked with Little Driver NZ must carefully read, sign, and date this agreement. One signed copy should be kept by the hirer, and another must be provided to a member of the Little Driver NZ team.
