Long Answer:
When you reserve your rental, we will ask a few questions to see what type of riding experience you would enjoy.
After signing our paperwork, we will inspect the rental unit together for pre-existing damage and walk through the safety and operation information.
Once completed you can then head out on the trails for a day of fun!
When the time comes bring the Side-by-Side back to our shop. If you will be returning early or late, a phone call or text is appreciated to make sure someone is there to help you check out.
What is the cancellation policy?
There is a $100 cancellation fee for each machine if canceled up to 72 hours before your rental date. Between 71 and 25 hours before your rental date, it becomes 50% of the price of the full reservation. Within 24 hours of the reservation, it becomes the full price of the reservation.
No shows will be charged the full price of the reserved rental.
How does the damage deposit work?
Prior to your rental, the damage deposit will be required on Credit Card before you are able to rent the machine.
The Damage Deposit for a Can-Am Maverick X3 is $2000 per machine rented.
Deposits are released after the completion of the rental period provided no damage to the equipment is found, and no additional charges have accrued.
We have up to 24hrs to inspect the machine for damage before releasing the Damage Deposit.
Damage deposits put on a credit card may take up to 10 days to release the funds depending on who you bank with. Some banks are as short as 3 days.
The damage deposit is not the total amount of damages you are liable for. You are responsible for the total cost of damages to each machine.
You are not allowed to split the deposit with someone else. Deposits must be under one person’s name, per machine, and that person must be physically present to fill out the paperwork in office.
Do I need to have Insurance?
Yes! Our Side-by-Sides are street legal and classified as short-term vehicle rentals (Just like a rental car). As such, you need to provide and have proof of your ID Card of your own personal auto insurance policy that covers you in a rental vehicle.
We highly recommend that you call your insurance company to confirm you are covered. Explain that the Side-by-Sides are street legal.

How will I know where to go?
We can make recommendations on where to ride. We have been riding atv‘s, Side-by-Side, dirt bikes, and snow mobiles all over these mountains. We also have an app you can download and use to guide your adventure.
If you’re old school and prefer a physical map we got those too.
Are Side-by-Sides easy to operate?
Yes. Driving a Side-by-Side is very similar to driving an automobile. Our machines have power steering and automatic transmission. All you do is put it in gear and drive it just like any other car. When you pick up the machine, we will walk you through all the controls and how to operate the machine safely.
Are there specific speed limits for Side-by-Sides in Driggs or in the county limits?
No. Side-by-Sides are required to obey all the posted speed limits. 25 mph within the city limits of Driggs. Typically, 45 mph on county roads. This is not always the case so be aware of posted speed limit signs.
What is the range on a full tank of gas?
Around 80-100 miles depending on the machine you rent.

Can our party split the cost of the rental?
No. One person from your party must pay for one entire machine. If you want to split the cost, tell your friends or family members to get some cash together and pay you back. Please understand, legally we cannot split the cost between our system or on the contract. Picture it like renting a hotel room, or rental car. The same rules apply.
What if I damage a machine?
Our basic rule of thumb is that if you bend it, break it, crack it, or scratch it over 2" you buy that part. We will be fair and honest with you. We ask that you are fair and honest with us. We strive to keep our machines clean and nice for the next rider.
