It’s on pretty much every guy’s (and some girl’s) bucket list… drive a tank. But let’s be a realistic, how could that ever happen?

All at DriveTanks.com located at Ox Ranch in Uvalde, Texas.

And right now, if you’d like to save big, you can check out Groupon for anywhere from 43-64% off various insane experiences at DriveTanks.com.

 

How Much Does It Cost to Drive a Tank in Texas?

Pricing for driving tanks depends on a few things. First of all, do you want to drive or just go for a ride? Because going for a ride is 50% off. Prices for driving tanks depend on which tank you choose. DriveTanks.com lists 12 different tanks on their site, and driving costs range from $600 to $1,850 for driving. Now if you want to ride the Sherman Tank AND shoot it, you’ll be paying more – up to $2,800. However, it’s important to note these prices are for groups of six. So per group, not per person. Additional people over six is a $100 per person fee.
