Route Schematic
How a rental typically flows
The basic flow: pickup and check‑in at the shop, drive to trails and explore, then return and refuel before drop‑off.
Pickup & check‑in at Extreme Arizona
Arrive at the operator’s location for orientation, paperwork and the required pre‑authorization credit‑card hold for the chosen damage deductible; an $18 street‑legal/off‑road tag fee is added at check‑in.
Drive to the trails
Because the rentals are street‑legal, you can drive the vehicle from the shop directly to permitted off‑road trails and staging areas to begin exploring.
Return, refuel and drop‑off
Before returning, renters are responsible for topping the unit off with premium (91) fuel; the vehicle is inspected on return and the company may charge for time overages, damage, excessive cleaning, or missing equipment.
Operators must meet age and licensing requirements, and the company’s policies on damage, deposits, and optional tire/belt protection can affect rider responsibility—expect a credit‑card pre‑authorization and no company collision coverage.

Can‑Am Defender Lone Star Max — comfort meets utility
The Defender Lone Star Max offers a full‑cab enclosure, HVAC, JL Audio roof system and flexible seating (six seats with recommendation of up to four adults plus two children under 12), making it the choice for a more relaxed, climate‑controlled off‑road experience or utility work on remote properties.
72 hours of street‑legal, trail‑ready driving
Rentals are sold in 72‑hour blocks with the Maverick RS Turbo 4‑seater and the Defender Lone Star Max each listed at $1,800; machines are street‑legal so you can drive them from the shop straight to the trails.
What the day feels like
What three days behind the wheel feels like
A 72‑hour rental buys time to find rhythm on desert singletrack, test the Maverick’s turbo torque and long travel suspension, or enjoy the Defender’s climate‑controlled cabin while ferrying gear. You pick up at the operator’s location, drive the street‑legal rig to nearby trails, and return after up to three days of off‑road driving.
