COVID-19 INFORMATION

Adventure Rentals is here to provide refuge for tourists avoiding crowds.

Custer and Hill City, SD (March 2021) – Residents across the United States looking for safe, regional excursions and activities amid COVID-19 concerns can add Adventure Rentals to their list of crowd-avoidant destinations. Our popular rental company has been taking the necessary precautions when it comes to COVID-19. Adventure Rentals naturally provides an excursion with built-in social distancing via self-guided ventures and will continue regular operation hours this season. We remain safe and can offer non-contact check-in upon request.

“We are in a unique situation where our guests can rent a UTV and travel into the Black Hills National Forest and be distant from other people, with 4,000 miles of off-roading trails,” said owner Alex Niemann. “This is an ideal way for anyone seeking alternative forms of entertainment to stay away from the crowds and do something fun, from the comfort of a sanitized and clean UTV.”

“Adventure Rentals sits at the base of millions of acres and so many miles of off-road trails, where you can explore all day and not see another person, which makes for an experience that visitors can easily stay ‘socially distanced’ between one another. If you call us now, we will get you ready for an adventure that combines social distancing with lifelong memories,” he said. “When you add that to the fact that we are an open-air attraction in the Black Hills National Forest – we are a desirable option for families looking for safe activities to do together during this time.”

To proactively address health concerns, our rental company has taken several health and safety precautions:

  • Book and pay online using credit cards instead of cash.
  • Our UTVs, mapping tablets, and facilities are continuously sanitized.
  • We allow more time for releasing and arrivals to maintain social distance.

    • Since our opening in 2017, Adventure Rentals has fast become a must-see attraction when visiting the Black Hills or driving through Western South Dakota’s wildlands. Rental guests can take scenic trails through the beautiful Black Hills National Forest, visit abandoned mines, view stunning vistas from outlooks where you can see for miles – and explore like never before.

    Adventure Rentals, located in the Southern and Central Hills of the Black Hills, in Custer and Hill City, SD, is located near many other famous attractions. We care about the well-being of our customers, employees, families, and friends. We will continue to keep an eye on COVID-19, and we will maintain our allegiance to keeping our customers and our employees safe.

    Create memories for your family during these trying times. Let us know if you have any questions – we would love to hear from you and look forward to serving you this season.

  • When you are riding in the Black Hills National Forest, you should always keep in mind that the weather can change. It can be sunny and beautiful in the morning and get a rain shower in the afternoon. While storms don’t stick around very long (most of the time)- it is always better to be prepared. Please make sure you check the forecast for your riding day.
  • Drivers license- you’ll need your driver’s license for our rentals.
  • Helmet- we always recommend a helmet for all drivers and riders. Kids under the age of 18 are required by South Dakota state law to have a helmet on their heads at all times while in the machine. Helmets are provided with the rental fee- but we do always recommend bringing your own if you have one for your comfort.
  • Sunglasses or Goggles: We keep a limited supply of goggles on hand to use during your rental, and our machines have full windshields, but it is always wise to have eye protection. So bring a pair of goggles or sunglasses. We do have sunglasses for purchase in-store as well.
  • If the forecast calls for rain – please bring waterproof and breathable rain gear with you.
  • Clothing – be prepared to get dusty and dirty out there. So we always advise you to bring clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and it is always wise to dress in layers (on those colder days). You are more than welcome to bring a change of clothes to change into using our facilities after your adventure.
  • Sunscreen is always a good idea.
  • Closed-toe shoes- sandals are not recommended.
  • Water and food – our machines have room for coolers, so we always recommend having plenty of water and bringing food with you. There are beautiful places to stop for a picnic, or you can stop in Custer or Hill City and enjoy one of the many local restaurants.
  • First Aid Kit – A first aid kit is essential. We want all of our customers to be safe – all of our retrieval vehicles have first aid kits in them – but it’s always great to be prepared with your own first aid kit.

    • Nope! All you need is a valid driver’s license. And the Slingshot is classified as auto-cycle, so you don’t need a motorcycle license in the State of South Dakota for any of our rentals.

    No, automatic transmissions are available; however, most of our stock is a standard 5-speed transmission.

    Each machine is rented with a full tank of fuel – we request you return it the same way. Our employees will let you know how much mileage you get with a gas tank, plus the type of fuel and where to fill it up. Filling up fuel when returning the machine ensures that the next rider can enjoy the same experience. We want everyone to spend their time riding and enjoying the sights – not worrying about finding the nearest gas station.

    We accept cash (but will need a credit card on file). VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. We do not accept checks.

  • All rentals include safety equipment with the rental fee – we recommend bringing your own helmet if you have one – for your comfort. Rentals also include a comprehensive orientation during check-in.
  • All side-by-side machines come equipped with a digital tablet with the Avenza Map APP pre-downloaded on it. This App is great for off-roading because it shows you where you are at all times. We drop pins on the maps to give you helpful little hints on where you might want to explore. The machines also come with a safety beacon feature for off-road safety is our number one priority for our customers and if something were to happen. You don’t have a cell phone signal; with this feature, you can contact emergency personnel immediately. They are provided with your exact location- however, all fees resulting in using this feature will be charged back to the customer.
  • Insurance is included, plus we offer an additional add-on if you wish to cover tires and belts. GAS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RENTAL PRICE – your machine will have a full tank of gas before you leave – please make sure you refuel your machine before returning it. If the machine is not refilled, there will be an additional charge of $35.00 to the card on file.
  • The renter is liable for any damages to the machine – we offer additional insurance to cover you during your rental.
  • We always recommend arriving at least 30 mins early for your rental, allowing you time to get your waiver filled out and go over the map and route with you. Please note EVERYONE WHO WILL BE RIDING IN THE MACHINE WILL NEED TO BE PRESENT TO SIGN THE WAIVER. This is very important – anyone riding in the machine will need to be on the waiver. Children under the age of 18 do not have to sign for themselves – but a parent or guardian will need to sign for them. If you are a large group – we recommend coming in the day before to do paperwork – this helps speed up your release time.
  • We will get everyone sized for a helmet – this can take some time – so if you have your own DOT-certified helmets, you are more than welcome to bring them.
  • We will go over the already downloaded map on the tablet in each machine with you and show you some helpful hints along the routes you decide to take. Our side-by-sides will be directed to the off-road trails – our Slingshots will be directed to on-road tour routes.
  • We will also go over the machine – if you are not familiar with how to drive these machines, no worries, we help you with this. Adventure Rentals also supports Tread Lightly! principles, so we will go over these principles with you as well!
