You'll be able to get your safety clothes and go kart at the circuit, so all you need to do is pay for your session. Of course, you'll probably be going with other people, so you'll need to make sure that everyone is willing to pay their fee.
Casual karters should remember that there are only a limited number of karts available on any particular track. That means that it's a good idea to book in advance, since it's just about the only way to be sure that you won't have a long wait when you arrive. The cost of a day of go karting will depend on the track where you're driving.
Discounts may be available for children, short sessions and groups, and prices may be by the hour, day, or rider. Equipment costs for karting at a track are relatively minimal - make sure you're wearing thin soled sneakers or running shoes, since thick soled ones can make it harder to use the pedals. Otherwise, you'll get all the safety equipment you need provided.
Of course, more serious karting has additional costs. If you'd like to start go karting more professionally, or on a more regular basis, you'll want to get your own kart. These can either be purchased or built at home. Just remember that even second hand models can be quite expensive.
The exact cost will depend on the level you need your kart to compete at and the type of propulsion used. Gasoline karts tend to be cheaper up front than electric ones, but they cost more to run. Some karts come with roll cages to prevent injury in accidents, but most do not. Safety equipment can have a big effect on the price of the kart.
You'll also have to make sure you have your own equipment. That includes gloves, overalls, a face covering helmet, and an outfit that's suitable for just about any weather. These supplies can add up, but they're not a place to cut corners. Protective gear could be what stands between you and an injury, especially in a crash.
Serious karting is a fairly big investment, with even the cheapest carts costing more than a thousand dollars. However, if you love go karts, it's worth it. Competitive racing in a go kart can be a lot of fun and a great hobby. Check it out and see whether it's the sport for you.
