How does the deposit work?

Generally speaking, if everything on your ride went smoothly, we will release your deposit that day and you could see it returned within 24 hours. This duration depends on your bank.

What happens if we damage the vehicle?

Depending on the extent of the damage, we will estimate the cost of labor/parts and take only that amount from your damage deposit - not to exceed that amount if you have followed the waiver.

If the machine is rolled or tipped on its side, or runs into a tree, we will most likely secure the deposit for damages incurred.

Flat Tires (UTV) & Drive Belts are considered damage and are the financial responsibility of the renter.

What are the conditions of the trails, typically?

Our trails consist of a mix of gravel, sand, and mud. There are several mud holes as well.

Will we get really muddy?

Depending on the weather, the trails can become muddy. You can avoid getting covered in mud by slowing down, and going around or slowing down through the water holes. We do have a "Cleaning Waiver" and excessively mudded machines will be charged a cleaning fee based on overall condition and time required to clean each machine.

What should we bring?

In the fall weather, we recommend bringing a light vinyl jacket, gloves, and dress in layers as the cool fall mornings make way for spectacular afternoons of fall colors. You can bring a cooler for drinks/snacks, bungees or tie-down straps for your gear, and a change of clothes when you return.Suntan lotion, bug spray - most bugs/mosquitos can't keep up...Helmets/Goggles are provided and required to be worn.

What happens if I roll/tip the vehicle on its side?

We will automatically keep the full damage deposit. This is standard procedure for our industry.

How late before arrival time can we book a new reservation? What happens if I am late for my reservation or return the vehicle late?

We request reservations 72 hours in advance, but at a minimum of 24 hours before arrival time. We strive to insure our machines are in exceptional condition when you pick them up. We normally bring our machines inside the night before and wipe them down so they are clean and ready when you come in. If you are booking with less than 24 hours notice, we would ask that you call in advance to book manually or text us to insure we are prepared for you when you arrive. Thank you for your consideration.

After the designated time, we offer a 15 minute grace period. Beyond this, you’ll be charged $100/hour per machine from the originally designated time.
