1 Hour Guided Start | Then Independent Ride: Smart Rider Experience

Self-guided rentals are for experienced Mojave Desert drivers. Drivers must be 25 years of age or older and hold a valid driver’s license.

Start with one hour behind a guide, then continue independently on our mapped Mojave Desert trail network. The guided session introduces your vehicle, local terrain and trail etiquette before you head out at your own pace. Choose the 3.5-hour or 5.5-hour option below, including the complimentary 30 minutes. Review the fuel charge, required vehicle insurance and security-hold terms before booking.

Your damage deductible cap and security hold are reduced from $2,500 to $1,500 when you choose the guided start option.

How it Works:

  • Begin with a short, guided ride led by one of our experienced trail leaders. They’ll show you the ropes, get you comfortable with your vehicle & introduce you to the Mojave’s rugged desert terrain.
  • Along the way, you’ll pick up riding tips, learn trail etiquette & see first-hand how to handle the desert’s technical, rocky & ever-changing conditions.
  • Once you’re ready, your guide turns you loose for a self-guided adventure. From there, it’s just you, your machine & the wide-open desert. Stop for photos, explore at your own pace, and enjoy the thrill of independence.
  • Return with memories of both a guided discovery & a solo adventure—two experiences in one tour!
  • Guided Start ➡ Then Independent Ride (Smart Rider Upgrade Security/Vehicle Hold)
  • Reward for Responsibility: When you begin with a guided session before heading out on your own, your damage cap & security hold are reduced from $2,500 to $1.500. You’ve shown the responsibility to learn the terrain and safety procedures first- even if you have experience driving in your home terrain – and we reward that smart first choice

Why Guests Love It

For experienced Mojave Desert drivers (25 years of age or older), we recommend beginning with a guide before continuing independently. The Mojave Desert is unlike anywhere else: its terrain is rocky, technical, & constantly shifting with weather changes in both directions. Even experienced riders from other parts of the country say they’ve never driven anything like it—and that they felt far better starting with a guide before riding solo.
 
  •  Why you’ll love it: The guided portion ensures you feel more confident, and the solo portion lets you ride free. Safe, simple, and unforgettable.

  • Safety & Confidence first. Freedom next. The perfect off-road Vegas experience
