Yes, there is a required accidental damage waiver (rental protection) for the Side by Sides and Slingshots along with a security deposit per vehicle. If paying the security deposit with a credit card this would be a credit hold and with a debit card this means you would not have the amount available during your rental period. In both instances, the security deposit is a hold not a withdrawal. Once the activity is successfully completed Great Outdoors Adventures will release the Security Deposit. It takes 24-48 business hours for the hold to no longer show. 

Off-Road: Any damage repair cost, or loss of rental revenue, to your rental vehicle in excess of your security deposit amount is covered by the damage waiver program. This includes flat tires. Security deposits are required for each vehicle driven by customers. Standard security deposit is $1,500 per off-road vehicle. Customers are responsible to return any additional equipment (tablet GPS computers, helmets, goggles, radios, coolers, rain tarps, etc.) provided by GOA in good condition. In the case of a disabled vehicle, GOA will do our best to assist you; however, it is your responsibility to safely return your vehicle to the GOA where it was checked-out to you. Our off-road vehicles are very reliable if operated safely.

Slingshot: Any damage repair cost, or loss of rental revenue, to your rental vehicle in excess of your security deposit amount is covered by the damage waiver program.

If a Slingshot is damaged by a customer (including flat tires), it is the customers responsibility to have a professional service company replace flat tires or return the Slingshot to the GOA store in Woodland Park for repair. These expenses are to be paid by the customer in addition to their security deposit amount. Your rental does not include road-side assistance. Also, Slingshots are not equipped with spare tires. Customers are responsible to return any additional equipment (helmets, radios, rain cover, etc.) provided by GOA in good condition. Our Slingshots are very reliable if operated safely.

Jeeps: Personal auto insurance is required to rent & drive Jeeps. Each person who will drive must qualify.

The Pike National Forest is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Colorado with dominating views of Pikes Peak. You can drive our Slingshots to the top of the 14,000 ft Pikes Peak on a beautiful paved toll and recreation highway managed by the City of Colorado Springs. There are over 300 miles of interconnected trails on the surrounding national forest. The region has hundreds of miles of scenic highways leading to beautiful vistas, recreation sites, and mountain communities with wonderful services.

The closest airport to Woodland Park is just 30 minutes away at the Colorado Springs International Airport. The Denver International Airport is only 90 minutes away.

There are many differences between the  Polaris General and the RzR. However, the biggest difference for rentals is the storage size, seating, and style. The 2024 RZRs are the sporty models with a flashy style. They have a 4 point harness and reclined seated. They require slightly more effort to get in and out of. There is also limited space in the RZR for storing extra supplies. 

The 2024 General have extra storage space and are easier to get in and out of. This is a great choice for longer excursions and those who want more ease getting in and out of the UTV. Both UTVs will perform the same during the rental. 

The off-roading vehicles we rent are the Polaris General (2- and 4-seat), Polaris Rzr (2- and 4-seat), and Polaris Ranger (6 seat). These are side-by-side vehicles with a roof, roll cage, and a half-windshield. Our UTV rentals remain on the trail systems adjacent to our trailheads. Customers will not trailer the vehicles to any other locations.

Guided tours are wonderful for large group and for extra safety. We have three options for you. One,  a guide will be in their own UTV and you follow them. Two, the guide drives the UTV for your group. Three, the Sunset and Wildlife tour where you can drive your own UTV or have the guide drive you. Call to book.

Self-guided tours allow you to explore the designated routes on your own using GPS navigation. This is our  most popular option. Call or book online.
