Do you deliver and pickup snowmobiles? Yes. Delivery and pickup can be arranged when you book. Let us know where you’re staying and we’ll calculate the rate. We can deliver up to 6 sleds per trip. Morning deliveries only, 23-hour minimum required, $90 minimum. Adequate space for a truck and trailer to enter, turn around, and exit is required.

Can the snowmobiles be trailed off-site? Yes, as long as the trailer has ramps or a tilt. Snowmobiles may not be loaded into the bed of a pickup truck. A $100 washing fee applies if sleds are returned with excessive road salt or dirt from trailering.

Can I return my snowmobile early and get a refund? No. Rentals are charged based on the time period selected at booking and are non-refundable once the rental begins. Please choose the duration that best fits your plans.

What if damage occurs during my rental period? Guests are responsible for any damage that occurs during the rental period. All guests sign a liability waiver at arrival.

Do you rent DOT certified helmets? Yes. Helmets are $30 + tax each. They include electric shields (to help reduce fogging and ice), breath boxes, and power cords.

Do you rent snowmobile apparel? We do not rent full apparel. We do sell Castle snowmobile mittens and gloves.

What should I wear when snowmobiling? Dress in layers. Ski-style outerwear, gloves, and a neck gaiter or balaclava work well. Wool and fleece are better than cotton. Our handlebars are heated, but hand and foot warmers are still useful. Bring a backpack with water, sunscreen, and don't forget your phone or battery charger!

Do you offer guided trips? Yes. Guided trips require 48-hour notice and a minimum of two sleds. We provide free trail maps and recommend downloading the Polaris Ride Command app before you arrive—it works as a GPS on the trails.

How old do I have to be to rent a snowmobile? You must be at least 18 years old and present a valid driver’s license with a photo.
