EPIC 4X4 ADVENTURES, INC.
TERMS & CONDITIONS OF UTV RENTAL
As the primary renter, you are entering into a binding agreement with Epic 4X4 Adventures, Inc. (“Company”). These Terms & Conditions apply in addition to any agreements made through Polaris Adventures and are enforceable by law.
Your safety—and the safety of those around you—is our top priority. These Terms & Conditions exist not only to protect our equipment, but to help create a safe, fun, and unforgettable experience in Moab’s unique and rugged terrain.
Unlike many off-road destinations, Moab presents extreme trail conditions, steep ledges, technical obstacles, and unpredictable terrain. We ask that all renters operate within their skill level and comply fully with all restrictions, safety practices, and trail regulations to help preserve this incredible environment and protect themselves.
1. SAFETY & EQUIPMENT USE
Your rental includes access to designated trails in Grand County and San Juan County, Utah only. Epic 4X4 Adventures vehicles are not to be operated recklessly, carelessly, or beyond your personal skill level. You are expected to follow all posted trail regulations including trail speed limits, local laws, and our company safety standards.
We maintain our fleet to the highest standard, and we expect the same of your conduct. Damage from abuse, negligence, or unauthorized trail use will result in full financial responsibility.
2. RESTRICTED AREAS & OBSTACLES
The following roads, trails, and obstacles are strictly prohibited. Entering any of these areas voids all damage protection and caps. Fees will be assessed regardless of whether the vehicle is damaged or not. GPS tracking is active and used to verify trail access.
RESTRICTED ROADS:
- Highway 128
- Highway 191 north of Highway 279 / Potash Road
- Highway 191 south of Spanish Trail (Shell Gas Station)
RESTRICTED TRAILS:
- Moab Rim Trail

PROHIBITED OBSTACLES ON HELL’S REVENGE:

If you decide to make any of the above part of your experience, additional charges will be incurred starting at $1500 up to your full deposit, regardless of condition of the vehicle upon turn-in. This is in addition to any damage that may result. Recovery of our vehicle in any of these areas or from these obstacles starts at $2000.
3. GPS TRACKING & MONITORING
All rental vehicles are GPS-tracked. We reserve the right to monitor your location, driving behavior, and speed.
Tampering with, disabling, or attempting to interfere with the tracking system will result in immediate termination of your rental, forfeiture of your deposit, and possible legal action.
4. DISPUTES & CHARGEBACKS
We are committed to handling all charges with fairness and transparency. If your vehicle is returned damaged or in violation of our Terms & Conditions, you are entitled to a detailed explanation, written estimate, and itemized invoice upon request. We welcome open dialogue and encourage you to reach out directly if you feel a charge has been applied in error.
However, by agreeing to these Terms & Conditions, you authorize all charges related to your rental—including but not limited to:
- Damage or loss
- Trail violation penalties
- Recovery costs
- Loss-of-use fees
If you bypass direct communication and initiate a chargeback for a valid charge, Epic 4X4 Adventures, Inc. will immediately pursue legal action, including a lawsuit filed in the State of Utah. All attorney’s fees, collection costs, and court fees will be added to the amount owed.
We understand credit card companies are structured to favor the cardholder and prefer to handle disputes through direct dialogue—or, if necessary, through the courts where both sides are heard equally.
We do not tolerate fraudulent credit card disputes.
4A. CODE OF CONDUCT
By taking possession of the vehicle(s), you agree to operate it in a safe, respectful, and responsible manner, consistent with Company policies, Tread Lightly principles, and local laws. The following rules apply to all renters and drivers:
- No racing or contests of speed or performance.
- Ride at your current skill level. Do not push beyond your ability.
- Stay on designated OHV trails. Do not explore outside approved areas.
- Follow all posted signs, speed limits, and trail regulations. Drive at an appropriate speed for trail conditions. Trail speeds are limited to 15–25 MPH, but in some terrain, this may still be considered excessive.
- The UTV is street legal only for the purpose of accessing trailheads. Do not drive around town for sightseeing or errands.
- Overnight rentals must be parked by 10:00 PM.
- Do not tow any person or object with this vehicle. Do not allow this vehicle to be towed, pulled, or winched.
- Do not alter, modify, or tamper with any part of the vehicle.
- ALWAYS take care of our equipment. Our UTVs can cost over $45,000 each. If you damage or total a vehicle while violating company policies, we expect you to pay for it immediately.
5. DAMAGE DEPOSIT HOLD
Your damage deposit will be held for up to 24 hours following your rental. This allows our team time to complete a full post-ride inspection and review GPS tracking data. If no issues are found, the authorization will be released within that time frame.
6. AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGMENT
When you sign our agreement, you:
- Acknowledge these Terms & Conditions are in addition to any Polaris Adventures rental documentation.
- Accept full financial and legal responsibility for the vehicle, passengers, and all actions taken during the rental period.
- Understand that any breach of these terms may result in fines, termination of rental, and legal action.
