Highlights
Outing Highlights
Transparent pricing from hours to days
Rates are published across a wide range of durations—from multi‑hour blocks through 1‑ to 7‑day rentals—so you can plan a quick loop or a full three‑day outing with clear per‑term pricing.
Pet‑friendly but tightly regulated
Pets are allowed in rentals, but they must sit on a seat covering; excessive hair can trigger a $200 cleaning fee, and the operator disclaims responsibility for pet harm. Smoking is prohibited and off‑roading is explicitly disallowed.
What every driver needs
Renters must be 21 or older; everyone who will drive must present a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance. Helmets are not required for these UTVs, and parents should bring any necessary child seats.
What the day feels like
What the three‑day rental feels like
A three‑day UTV rental lets you use Townsend as a base to explore scenic routes at your own pace: mornings staged for longer loops, afternoons for short outings and evenings for routine vehicle checks and cleanup—while keeping pets onboard where allowed and adhering to operator rules.
