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. Rescue charge if retrieval or off-site repairs are required will is $150 trip charge plus $2/mile. Off-site labor/repair rate is $110/hour.

Renters that cause damage to vehicles that result in loss of use may be additionally charged up to 14 days for lost revenue due to cancelled reservation(s) that directly result from their damage.

Any varianace from these policies is at the sole discretion of the outfitter.

Can we trailer your units?

We do not provide trailers for your rentals... this would not be not covered by insurance.

Do we have to wear helmets?

The State of Wisconsin requires anyone 18 years or younger to wear a helmet enforcable by law. Our waiver says to stay compliant, you must be wearing your helmet at all times while the vehicle is moving. We provide DOT approved helmets at no charge to you. If you have your own DOT approved helmet, you are welcome to bring your own and use it instead.

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.
