Rental vs. Guided U-Drive
All the freedom of driving, none of the hassle of a rental
Renting an ATV means you're on your own: hauling it to a legal riding area, sorting permits, and reading unfamiliar desert without a map. A guided U-Drive tour gives you the part you actually want, driving your own machine over real trails, while we handle everything else.

Good to Know
ATV rentals vs. tours, your questions
What Scottsdale visitors ask when they're deciding how to ride.
Do you rent ATVs or UTVs in Scottsdale?
No, we’re a guided tour company, not a rental yard, so we don’t rent out unsupervised machines. But you still drive: on our U-Drive tours you pilot your own 2-seat buggy the entire way, with an expert guide leading the route and everything included.
Why take a guided U-Drive tour instead of renting an ATV?
A rental leaves you to arrange transport to a legal riding area, sort out permits, and navigate unfamiliar desert on your own. Our guided tours ride exclusive Tonto National Forest trails you can’t reach on a rental, with a guide, safety gear, and free photos included, the freedom of driving, without the hassle or the risk.
Can I still drive it myself?
Absolutely, that’s the whole idea. "U-Drive" means you take the wheel of your own 800cc buggy for the full tour. No experience needed; a full safety briefing comes first.
How much does it cost compared to a rental?
Tours start at $299 for a 2-seat buggy ($150 per person, or $199 for a single driver), and that price is all-inclusive: your machine, an expert guide, all safety gear, water and snacks, free adventure photos, and every trail permit. Check availability & book.
Where do you ride, and do you serve Phoenix?
Exclusive Tonto National Forest trails just northeast of Scottsdale, about 35 minutes from Phoenix and an easy drive from Mesa and Tempe. Drivers must be 16+ with a valid license; riders 8+.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations are handled by phone and must be made at least 48 hours ahead for a refund, less a cancellation fee of $25 per buggy ($50 per buggy on private tours). Cancel within 48 hours for a 50% refund; within 24 hours, or a no-show, there is no refund. To cancel, call (480) 837-3966.
