Let F1 driver Lando Norris drive your child to school – pay with Hilton Honors points

If the school run is getting boring, Hilton Honors has the answer.
One Hilton Honors member can have their child driven to school by Formula 1 driver Lando Norris. You don’t need to worry about your insurance, because Lando will bring his own McLaren supercar to make the trip.
The event is fixed for 6th July. Check the dates before you bid – my daughter’s school finishes on Friday 2nd July, although my son has a week left.
You need to live within 25 miles of Woking to bid. Most of London is within 25 miles of Woking as the crow flies, but the usual M4 / M25 route is over 30 miles – it isn’t clear how McLaren will decide if you are eligible.
You can bid for this genuinely unique Hilton / McLaren experience here. The current high bid is 60,000 points.
