1. No consuming alcoholic
beverages or any controlled substances while renting our ATV's.
2.
No jumping the ATV's off the dunes or any other object that would
cause the tires to leave the ground. Reason: The rear axle
will be bent, front A-arms and A-arm rods will be bent, steering
stem and handle bars can be damaged as well as broken seat posts
and cracked or shattered plastics.
3.
No "donuts", "cookies" or spinning the ATV's
in circles. Reason: Usually causes rollovers and damage to
the ATV and injury to the rider.
4.
No wheelies or lifting the front tires off the ground. Reason:
Causes bent steering stems, bent A-arms and A-arm rods. Potential
to flip the ATV back onto the rider.
5.
Stay out of the trails. Dune Buggy Adventures, LLC defines a
trail as any area that is wide enough for only one ATV at a time.
Reason: VERY DANGEROUS!! Some trails lead through the trees
and brush. Visibility is minimal and many head-on collisions
occur. Low branches will break off the ATV flag, leaving the
rider open for a citation from law enforcement. Other trails
have roots and stumps sticking out which can bend or dent the
rims or can hook the front tire(s), causing the ATV to flip and
probable injury to the renter.
6. Stay away from the beaches.
It is off limits to all motorized vehicles. Reason: Salt water
is not good for the ATV's and if caught, law enforcement will
issue a citation.
7. One person on the ATV at
a time. No double riding. Reason: The manufacturer designed
the ATV for one person only and the added weight of another adult
makes control of the ATV very difficult and potentially dangerous.
The added weight also puts an unnecessary strain on the transmission
and motor. The only exception to this policy applies to parents
who want to take their small child with them but they must accept
the risks that riding double involves and understand that we
at Dune Buggy Adventures. LLC do not condone it.
8. Stay out of muddy areas.
Reason: There is a clean up charge for bringing the ATV back
excessively dirty or muddy.
9. Stay away from areas that
look too steep or appear to not have another way out. This also
includes the left side of the dunes running south otherwise known
as the "fingers". Reason: Our ATV's are not powerful
enough for the very steepest dunes and there is a rescue charge
for getting stuck in these areas.
10. Stay away from lakes,
streams or bodies of water for safety. Reason: Quicksand-like
areas may form around edges. Water is deeper than it looks and
immersion in water will damage the starter and other electrical
components.
11. Anyone under 18 years
of age must have a parent or guardian sign a Assumption of Risk
and Release from Liability and a Rental Agreement for them before
renting.
12. Anyone under 18 years
of age MUST wear a helmet when operating our ATV's.
13. The renter is responsible
for his/her assigned ATV at all times.
14. No riding boots. Reason:
Our ATV's have full running boards and riding boots cause scruffs
and scratches to the plastics.
15. No shoes allowed while
riding the sandboards. Bare feet or socks ONLY.
Reason: Wearing shoes will force the binding screws out of
the wood. You are responsible for all damages to the sandboard.
Reservation & Credit
Card Policy
1.
Advance reservations may be made by phone only. During our
peak season we can only accept reservations for the mornings.
All reservations must be canceled at least 24 hours in advance
by phone or in person. All reservations failing to cancel within
the 24 hour period or to show up at all will have charged to
their credit card the minimum rental amount of each ATV that
they had reserved.
2. Choose your reservation
time wisely. All reservations are responsible for half of their
unused rental and reserved time. Single and multi-day reservations
apply.
Example: Joe calls to reserve
2-250's for 2 days at 4 hours each day, a $520.00 rental. Joe
decides after 2 hours on the first day that he is done. He is
still responsible for half the time remaining for that day as
well as half the time for the second day. In this case 3 hours
on each 250 or $135.00 each.
3. All prices are subject
to change. Web-site and brochure prices may not be current. If
you wish, please confirm at the time of your reservation the
number of quads/ATV's for rental and an estimate of the rental
amount. For the most current rental rates, please call us at
541-271-6972.
4. We accept Visa, Master
Card, American Express and Discover Credit Cards for ATV deposits
and rentals, sandboard sales and rentals and kite sales. Debit
or Check Cards with a Visa or Master Card Logo can only be accepted
for kite sales, sandboard rentals and the price of the ATV rental.
We can not accept Debit or Check Cards with a Visa or Master
Card Logo for the deposit on an ATV to be rented. We do not accept
checks. We do accept cash.
State Regulations
1. All riders without a drivers
license must be accompanied by a licensed driver.
2. All licensed drivers must

of age must wear a helmet.
4. All ATV's must have a flag.
If you break your flag, don't leave it behind. Carry it with
you for safety.
5. All alcohol is banned on
the dunes owned by BLM and the Forestry Service. Persons caught
with alcohol on BLM or Forestry dunes can be fined $5000.00 or
more.
6. The beaches are off-limits

Suggestions For A More
Enjoyable Ride
1. Bring sunglasses and suntan
lotion. The glare off of the sand can make it difficult to judge
depth of field.
2. If you have a cell phone,
bring it. Most cell phones receive signal on the dunes.
3. For rides lasting 2 hours
or more we suggest that you bring a small backpack, packed with
bottled water and snacks. Riding uses more energy than most people
realize.
4. Bring your camera. There
are great photo opportunities.
5. Bring a light jacket or
sweat shirt. You never know when a cold wind will blow in.
6. Wear pants, socks and shoes.
7. Bring a pair of gloves
just in case your hands get cold.
8. If planning to ride during
the rainy season, bring a rain suit. We can provide a rainsuit
for you to borrow if needed.
9. We provide helmets and
goggles at no additional charge.
