Awesome ATV. Comes with helmet, googles, rain gear, road side repair kit (which we didn’t need) and trailer for no additional charge. Great directions to Elwood Pass along with all the details of cool things to check out along the way. Very informative staff and owner. Would rent here again without a doubt!!
Was an absolute Blast!! Great vehicle and great time! They have great directions for you and are spot on! The sights were amazing! highly recommend the little hike to the waterfall!Time was a little tight getting back on time, but they were awesome about it! definitely recommend!!
This was a great adventure! We rented a Razor and went up Elwood Pass. Had a picnic lunch at the top. Ryan was so helpful and his directions were spot on. His equipment was new and well-maintained. We felt safe all day. We had a blast! Highly recommend. Money well spent.
Easy process to rent and had a great time going up Elwood Pass. Only place we found that didn’t have boring mules and let you go on fun trails. This thing was brand new and gets up and moves! Highly recommend San Juan rentals!
Was part of a group that rented 2 side-by-sides earlier this week. What a blast! Mark and Ryan were great to work with. The map they provided with the mileage markers was excellent to have. Highly recommend them!
Had an awesome time today (6/23/22) hitting some trails with Side-by-Sides. Rules were reasonable, the trail we took was super beginner friendly but still challenging at times, and the machines themselves were obviously well maintained. So much so we felt compelled to give ours a rinse before returning them!… The staff we talked to (Mark, Marc?) we’re awesome. He was knowledgeable about the trail, gave great advice, and was super kind/helpful in setting us up to have a great time.Only minor recommendations being to help update directions with up-to-date steps &/or having trail maps would help round out when us clueless people are trying to navigate the trails, but Mark did great giving us solid tips so it went smoothly and we had a blast!
We loved the entire experience we had at San Juan Side by Sides. The guys were very helpful and provided everything we needed for the day. They were also very helpful with pointing us to a very fun trail to ride. The RZR and trailer were both in great condition and exceeded our expectations. Would repeat business again and again.
We had so much fun when we rented a Razor from here. We enjoyed our experience thoroughly. The owner, Ryan, was great to work with and was super helpful. We went up Elwood Pass on our trip and over to Platoro for the day. Get a burger at the lodge while you’re over there! So yummy! Great experience all around!
Excellent experience with Ryan at San Juan rentals! Equipment was in clean and good condition and you receive everything you need for your day of fun (cooler, goggles, helmet, poncho). If you’re not sure where to go, you can follow directions from Ryan over Elwood Pass. A fantastic trail crossing creeks and rivers over the pass to the old mining town of Summitville and/or Platoro. It was a wonderful trip and I highly recommend San Juan Rentals for your next Pagosa adventure!!
This was the best ATV experience we’ve had to date!!! The mountain and terrain were beautiful and a little scary – which we like! We had a picnic at the top of the mountain. We rode across multiple river crossings and loved everyone of them. The inclines were incredible and our brand new Razor handled them with no problems at all. This was a day well spent and we were so at peace.The staff and San Juan Side by Side is knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant. This is not a cheap experience by any means but you get what you pay for and we don’t regret one cent. It was money well spent.
THE place to rent if you want to head up Elwood pass and beyond. Great experience with a well informed briefing before you head out. Machines are new and well maintained. Will definitely rent again!
We rented a RZR from Ryan at San Juan rentals yesterday and had a great experience. He was super professional and friendly. He made sure we were taken care of – helped hook up and unhook once we got there. The RZR was in good shape. The helmets and goggles were clean. Thanks a lot, Ryan! We’ll see you next year!
Rented RZRs from San Juan Side by Sides when family came to town. We had the best time! They helped us decide on the perfect location and route for our ability, time and desired sight seeing/challenge and gave us printed, detailed directions. They provided all the gear we needed including a cooler. The equipment was top notch, clean and ready to go when we got there. Could not have been happier – would highly recommend!
Awesome experience with Ryan at San Juan Side-By-Sides. This was our first time in Pagosa Springs and saw his UTV rental business on the main drag through town. Stopped by to check out his equipment and saw that they were all 2021 models and were well maintained. Ended up renting the Polaris General which was an awesome machine, the most comfortable side-by-side I have ever driven. We were 4 adults who rode this machine and the rental price included all accessories and rental from 8am to 7pm. I highly recommend this place of business.
We looked around for some machines to rent and all we could find were guided tours with rancher side by sides. We decided to give this place a go. You get helmets, goggles, even a cooler. Grab the trailer and drive to wherever you wish. If you have no clue where to go ask for a recommendation cause this guy knows exactly what he’s talking about. Great price for a good time. There should be hundreds more 5 star ratings cause he deserves it.
