There are many places in Phoenix where you can rent ATVs. Check the Yellow Pages for the most current listings under the category "All-Terrain Vehicles". Make sure to call and secure your reservation in advance as bikes go quickly, especially on holiday weekends. Check out the section "What kind of bike is right for me" below to help familiarize yourself with the different bikes available for rental. Most bike rentals include a trailer to tow the bike and safety gear including a helmet and gloves.

How much does renting an ATV cost?
It depends on how fast you want to go... the faster the bike, the more it costs. I don't recommend any of the high performance bikes for beginners (Honda 400EX, Polaris 400 Sport, Banshee, Honda TRX250R). You can rent a bike for about $100/day. Some people are talking about splitting the rental between two or three people to reduce the cost. This is a great idea! Find a friend who wants to go and do this!

What does an ATV rental include?
Normally you get the bike, the trailer to tow it with, a helmet, gloves an goggles included in the rental price. Make sure to ask for all these items as you will need them and they are normally included for free if you ask nicely. Some of us will have extra space on our trailers and will be able to haul your quad. Some others will have trucks that can haul the trailer that comes with your rental. If you know anyone with a pickup truck that can take an ATV or haul a trailer, please let us know!

When should I make my ATV rental reservation?
NOW!!!! That's my reason for sending out this email with plenty of advance notice! You must call and reserve your ATV today for the trip. If you wait, the ATVs will be gone, or if there's ATVs left, they will be the expensive ones!

Who should I contact for more info?
Feel free to call me anytime about the trip.
