    FAQs

    Passengers may switch to driving during your rental if they presented a valid driver’s license at check-in and meet the vehicle’s age requirements. Everyone must remain seated in a vehicle; riders cannot wait outside to switch.

    Children must be at least 2 years old. Children under age 8 or under 4 ft 9 in must use your own child safety seat or booster seat in a rear seat, and children under 13 must use a rear seat when available. Car seats are not allowed in Dune Rovers.

    An optional drive belt and tire waiver is available at check-in. It covers recovery from the off-road vehicle park, one replacement vehicle except after an accident, eligible tire or drive-belt parts and labor, and time lost during the rental. It does not cover unsafe or reckless driving, crashes, flips, or rollovers.

    The team here absolutely nails the fundamentals that matter most for first-timers tackling the dunes. Staff members like Taylor, Larry, Mark, and Jim get consistent praise for being genuinely friendly and taking extra time on safety briefings and orientation tours. People really appreciate how thorough they are about explaining the rules and terrain before sending you off, which helps nervous newcomers feel confident enough to actually enjoy themselves. The buggies themselves run reliably, though one reviewer noted their KRX struggled with some of the steeper hills despite the premium rental price. Still, that's a minor quibble in an otherwise glowing collection of feedback. Multiple families mention returning year after year, and several call out how responsive the staff was when small issues came up. The guided orientation tour seems particularly valuable for getting your bearings and understanding which areas you can actually explore. It's clearly a well-run operation where the crew genuinely cares about setting people up for a great dune experience.

    What an awesome experience. Everything from Autumn being very informative to the equipment to the ORV area orientation, everything was top notch. The equipment was excellent. Rising the dunes can be overwhelming for nube but their process is second to none when it comes to knowing what you are doing enough to have a great time. Would definitely do again.
