Great cars, great rates. And one of the few rental companies that puts real all terrain tires on their jeeps for little cottonwood skiing in the winter.

You must be 21 years of age to rent a vehicle with Rugged Rental.
Renters are required to have collision damage coverage for the rental car as well as the state minimum of liability coverage. If proof of insurance is not provided, the renter will be required to purchase insurance from Rugged Rental.
– Renter Collision Protection@ $25/day
– Supplemental Liability Insurance @ $10/day
Both are required to provide the necessary coverage.
Rugged Rental is not qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the renter’s existing coverage; therefore, the renter should examine his or her credit card protections, automobile insurance policies, or other sources of coverage that may duplicate the insurance options we offer prior to arrival at our office.
Local Renters are required to have a credit card in their name and provide proof of insurance. If Rugged Rental insurance is purchased this satisfies the insurance requirement.
Local Renters must possess a valid permanent driver license. (Temporary licenses are not accepted) Proof of residency must be provided matching the address on the driver license.
Local Renters may not leave their personal vehicles at Rugged Rental during the duration of their rental.
Driving of all Rugged Rental vehicles is limited to improved roads only. This is described as all paved roads, graded dirt roads, or well maintained easy to moderate trails. Off road use of any kind is prohibited as well as rock crawling or driving on difficult trails.
