Got Questions?

Everything You Need to Know

We've answered the most common questions below. Still unsure? Call us at (336) 489-8667 — we're open 9 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week.

What are the age and licensing requirements?
+
You must be at least 22 years old with a valid driver's license and a matching credit card and auto insurance to rent. This is an insurance requirement — drivers under 22 are not covered under our policy, leaving them personally liable for any damages.
Are children and pets allowed?
+
Absolutely! Kids, car seats, booster seats, and pets are all welcome on your adventure. Every passenger must have their own seat — we never allow anyone to ride without one. Car seats and booster seats are available if needed.
What documentation do I need to bring?
+
You'll need a valid driver's license, a matching credit card, and proof of full coverage auto insurance. Your credit card must match your ID and insurance documents. We verify all of these at check-in.
Can I take the UTV off-road?
+
Our vehicles are street-legal UTVs built for on-road use only. Off-road use results in an immediately forfeited rental with no refund. The great news? Our GPS-guided on-road routes through mountain back roads, river paths, and scenic overlooks are every bit as thrilling as off-roading.
Should I book in advance?
+
We strongly recommend booking in advance — especially on weekends and holidays when demand is highest. Walk-ins are welcome if vehicles are available, but advance booking guarantees your preferred vehicle, time slot, and experience. Booking ahead also speeds up the check-in process significantly.
What are your hours and location?
+
We're open 9 AM – 9 PM, 7 days a week! We're located at 421 E 2nd Street, West Jefferson, NC 28694, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Give us a call at (336) 489-8667 if you need directions.
How many people can ride in one vehicle?
+
We offer 4-seater and 6-seater machines. Every person riding must have their own seat — no exceptions. For larger groups, multiple vehicles can be rented and ridden together on the same GPS route.
Do I need to wear a seatbelt or protective gear?
+
Seatbelts are required by law at all times — no exceptions. Protective gear (helmets, gloves, etc.) is not required, though you're welcome to bring your own. Comfortable summer clothing is perfect for warm days; for fall visits, light thermals under regular clothes work great.
What is the cancellation policy?
+
We offer free cancellation up to 48 hours before your scheduled trip. Cancellations within 48 hours are non-refundable. Need to reschedule? Contact us as soon as possible and we'll do our best to find a new date that works for you.
Is GPS navigation included? Do I need experience?
+
Yes! GPS-guided private route maps are included with every booking at no extra charge. Zero prior off-road experience is needed — our routes are designed for all skill levels. You'll receive a full safety briefing and instructions before hitting the road.
