How far do you need to travel? A great alternative if you have to have a motorized vehicle is a big red 3 wheeler . They can be had rather cheap now days ,they won't go through the nastiest of mud holes but they are small enough to go around them.

For what you would pay to rent, you could make payments on a good used machine. And eventually own it. The money spent would not be "gone". And you would have year round use of the machine for whenever and whatever you want. JMO.

I can't imagine renting one is very cheap. I've been seeing alot of used Honda foreman for 1200 give or take....

Big red is a good idea as well should be able to find them for under 1000 pretty easy

Never heard of renting one other than on organized tours/rides. You can usually find a decent used one for around a grand? How long of a road do you have to get up. If money is so tight that a 1k$ wheeler is out of the question than a deer cart would be a better investment.

Has anyone actually seen a place where you can rent ATVs? I haven't. Actually, if there was such a place, renting a few times might be a good way to get acquainted with the different makes and models so when the day came to buy, a guy would have a pretty good idea of what he wanted (needed). But I honestly don't believe that there are any places that rent them out. I'm thinking the maintenance and repairs on such a vehicle would be prohibitive given how rough and abusively people can handle them. But I don't know. Just because I have not heard of such rentals doesn't mean they don't exist.

Yea you can rent them at a few atv parks I know of and probably more. Most are guided rides as said above. I've never heard of a use on your own rental like cars tho.

You can rent them out west in places like Moab and stuff. they rent jeeps, side by sides and atvs. I've never seen atv rentals anywhere but out that way. It's not cheap to rent them but they are targeting people on vacations and such.

You can buy a buy a brand new 400-500cc quad for 4-6 grand. And there's thousands of used ones out there for much less than that.

Here's a cheap but reliable quad that I found on Craigslist in under 10 seconds

That's just an example. The newer you go the higher the price. Hondas also tend to hold their value quite well as they are known to be long lasting working machines. If you just using it to ride up and down the hills to your hunting stands and dragging deer out, an older honda like that would be perfect.
