ATV Rentals in Colorado Springs vs. Our Guided Tours
Why choose our UTV tours over a typical Colorado Springs ATV rental?
You Still Drive Your Own Machine
Searching for ATV or side by side rentals near Colorado Springs? With our tours, you get everything a rental offers — you’re behind the wheel, in your own machine, in full control. The difference: a professional guide leads the way through the best trails while sharing the historical and local knowledge that turns a ride into a story. It’s the freedom of a UTV rental with none of the guesswork — the same reason guests choose us over Frisco ATV rentals and other mountain-town options.
No Damage Deposits, No Hidden Fees
Typical ATV rentals in the Colorado Springs area often come with damage deposits of $1,000–$1,500, plus repair bills if anything goes wrong on the trail. Our pricing is transparent: no damage deposits, no mandatory guide tips, no surprises. You focus on the ride — everything else is taken care of.
Brand-New Machines, Every Season
We purchase brand-new UTVs every few months, so you’re never riding a beat-up rental fleet machine. Every UTV comes with seatbelts and a full safety cage, and in winter, tracks, heat, and full enclosures.
Trails a Rental Can’t Reach
Rent an ATV near Colorado Springs and you’re on your own to find trails. Ride with us and you’re on curated routes past multiple abandoned gold mines, around a ghost town, and up toward Mosquito Pass and the base of Mount Sherman — one of Colorado’s famous 14ers. Our guides even take free photos of your group along the way.

You should ask your Doctor. It is an off-road tour with bumps. During the Winter, the tour is much smoother while traveling over snow. As far as medical problems, we will sometimes be out of cell coverage in the backcountry away from where any ambulance can get to. If someone had a medical emergency we would have to self rescue (if possible) and depending on the season the hospital could be +30mins away. Please ask your Doctor for decision-making advice.
No but….. Is it customary to? Yes. In this industry. Times are hard, we understand. It takes all of us a tremendous amount of work to keep our tour prices low, the lowest in CO.
