THE RIDE

Four‑wheel drive built for sand

The Defender’s 4x4 capability is the defining feature for beach runs—engineered to get a full party across soft sand with seating for six and seat belts for every passenger.

THE GEAR

Room for coolers, chairs and everything else

A large rear cargo bed gives ample capacity for beach equipment so you can load food, shade and toys for a full day on the shore.

THE FINE PRINT

Who can rent and where rentals apply

Rentals are available by the hour, day or week, but not in every location; operators require renters to meet age and documentation rules before you drive.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

This is a pragmatic, social outing—strapped into a roomy Defender, you’ll shuttle coolers and people to the sand, engage 4‑wheel drive, and run short beach circuits or longer shoreline stretches depending on your rental period. The vehicle’s design prioritizes utility and safety for groups moving gear and people across soft ground.
