If you are travelling to an Open Day, we offer an Amazon voucher after the event. The amount paid will depend on your distance travelled to the event. This will be calculated using the RAC route planner. We encourage you to utilise this tool to check your miles travelled prior to submitting your form, which will be sent to you after the event.
