    I recently had a fantastic experience with BJ’s ATV Rentals near Pismo Beach. After a bad experience with another rental place, my family and I decided to give BJ’s a try. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The lady at the desk was super nice, and the entire staff was cool, polite, and friendly. We even got a ride from the beach to the ATV place from a staff member named Maui, who was really cool. The pricing was fair with no hidden costs or extra charges, which was a pleasant surprise. I recommend renting an ATV for one hour, especially if you’re going with kids. It’s the perfect amount of time to enjoy the experience without it becoming overwhelming.

    #1 Best Price... Thank you BJ's ATV Rentals for all your help. Cheapest price, Amazing Staff, very friendly & helpful. Took care of all our needs & renting was a breeze. We were 8 ladies rented 2 Honda Pioneers great Vehicles to drive. We decided to have an adventure & the thrill of driving our 15 passanger van on the beach. When we got to BJ's ATV Rentals pick up location, all excited parked our 15 passanger van in soft sand & when we tried to move it...to our surprise our van got stuck in the sand. The STAFF there told us to go enjoy & on return will help us get it out. When we were done, they were ready to help us. Moved all the sand out, tried to reverse, did not work. Then they tied a rope to our van & finally got our Van. We ladies really appreciated them. Made our trip worth every penny filled with fun, adventure & excitement.

    We went in a group and booked a dozen of ATV in advance. They did not have enough automatic ones and hence we had to hire two manual ones. The sand dunes are great and big enough for wild ride. We enjoyed the ATV ride. Vehicles are not in great condition.

    Had a good time riding the dunes on a rental 400ex from BJs. One issue I had renting here was I chose a 9am-11am rental time. Showed up 30 min early like their email says. Office didn't open till 9. So I wasn't riding till 10am. It was 1.5 hrs from when I showed up to when I was riding. Lots of wasted time. If they can't get rentals out that early, maybe just remove the 9am start time option since time is precious while on vacation. Hopefully they can keep these 400s for a while since they are the last company at Pismo that rent real sport quads.

    Cant say enought positives about this company which I found on Google looking for a reward for my son. First its easy to book and they answer questions. Get there and they are friendly and informative. Prices are reasonable- no Gotcha like most tourist outfits. They give you a friendly ride to pick up your ATV at the beach and arent overly clock watching the hour go by to end your time.
