A lot of people show up to a UTV rental not sure what to bring or what is already waiting for them. The short answer is: more than most places include. Every rental at Mountain Riders comes with a full set of safety gear, a prepped machine, and support in case anything goes wrong on the trail. Goes through everything item by item so you know exactly what to expect when you arrive.
Everything is ready when you show up.
Just bring yourself, a valid license, and closed-toe shoes.
who want to know whether to bring their own helmet, goggles, or gloves.
who need to know what gear is covered for every person in the machine before telling their group what to pack.
who want to confirm whether delivery is included or priced separately.
Anyone who has had a surprise fee at another rental shop
and wants a straight answer before booking with us.
Here is the plain breakdown. No fine print.
We include a full set of safety gear for every seat in the machine. You do not need to bring your own or rent it separately. Here is what is waiting for you at pickup.
Fitted for every rider in the machine before you leave. We size them properly at pickup. Required for all passengers regardless of age.
Included for all riders. Dust, debris, and roost are a real factor on most trails. Goggles matter more than most first-timers expect.
Included for the driver and all passengers. Protects your hands and improves grip on the steering wheel, especially on longer rides.
Included with every rental. Not every shop provides these. A neck brace significantly reduces the risk of neck and spine injury in a rollover or hard impact.
Every UTV rental leaves our lot in good mechanical shape. We inspect machines between every rental. Here is what is included as part of the machine itself.
Included on every machine. Required at certain locations including Glamis and other dune areas. Makes you visible over crests and berms to other riders.
Every machine goes out with a full tank. [CONFIRM FUEL RETURN POLICY – see action note below]
A mounted spare is included with every rental. Flat tires happen on rocky terrain. Having a spare on the machine means a flat does not end your day.
Fuel policy needs confirmation before publishing. Options: (1) Full-to-full – renter returns it full. (2) Full tank included, no return requirement. (3) Prepaid fuel option available. Update the fuel row in the table above and the FAQ answer below once confirmed.
Every UTV rental comes with a trail support contact. If you get a flat, get stuck, or run into a mechanical issue on the trail, you have someone to call. We will talk through the situation and get you sorted as quickly as we can. The spare tire handles most flat situations on your own. We give you the support contact number at pickup. Save it in your phone before you head out.
Delivery to off-site locations including Glamis and other trail destinations is available. Call us ahead of time to confirm availability, lead time, and any additional cost.
Delivery policy needs confirmation before publishing. Options: (1) Delivery included within X miles, extra charge beyond that. (2) Delivery available as a paid add-on, priced by distance. (3) Pickup only, no delivery offered. Update this section and the FAQ entry for ‘Can you deliver the UTV to Glamis?’ once confirmed.

We cover the safety gear and the machine. Here is what you need to bring on your end.
Valid driver's license. Required for the driver. Passengers do not need one.
Closed-toe shoes for everyone in the machine. No flip flops, no sandals.
A card for the deposit hold. Held at pickup and released on return in good condition.
Water and snacks. Especially on full-day or multi-day trips. Trails do not have vending machines.
Sunscreen and layers. Conditions change fast in most riding areas.
That is it. Everything safety-related is here when you arrive.
