    Hubby and I have been wanting to go ATV riding for the longest time but never gotten the chance to go. For Hubby's birthday I suggested we head out to Pismo Beach so that we can finally go ATV riding and he was excited! I was searching around for a place to rent ATVs and there are many different places that you can rent from. I read reviews and decided to pick BJ's ATV Rentals and they did not disappoint! I made the booking the night before and I remember reading reviews where we needed to come about 30 minutes to an hour before the time you chose to go over safety instructions. We ended up showing up about 45 minutes before our scheduled time since we were super excited to get it started. We signed some forms, went over safety instructions and we were also given a map to show us the markers and restrooms so we would know where we were in case we got lost. Everybody was so friendly and very informative. I read a lot of reviews that said for beginners it usually takes about 30 minutes to get the hang of driving the ATVs, but Hubby and I actually picked up pretty quick. The instructor that showed us how to start the ATV and everything was super detailed and we were on our way in less than 5 minutes. We had such an amazing time and 2 hours was more than enough! We're hoping to make our way back again soon!

    We had a blast! The staff were super nice and patient. My bank froze my card for suspicious activity while we were at Pismo, but the lady at the counter patiently waited until cards where all unblocked. She was so sweet! Joe, who drives the shuttle/suburban, was really helpful and gave us great tips on where to eat and stay in Pismo. The folks handing out helmets and ATVs were super friendly and helpful too. We'll definitely be back! Make sure to follow the directions they give you to get to their spot on the beach. The directions were clear, but I can see how people might get lost if they don't stick to them. When you get to the Pismo Beach Dunes entrance, good luck! Hopefully, they haven't run out of day passes. We parked on the street near the entrance, which wasn't too bad, but there was a line of cars at 5pm on Saturday getting turned away because they were sold out. Better get your day passes early!

    Drove down to ride the atvs. I havent been in over 7 years but this is my first time using this company. We were greeted and helped as soon as we arrived. We signed the paperwork paid and were on our way. It was about $140 for two hours. The only part that was a little confusing was you drive to a location and walk down on the beach and then a truck picks you up. I dont remember doing that. Other than that the people were extremely nice especially the person who told us how to use the atvs. We were stuck once and they came pretty quickly. Overall a great experience.

    I was pleasantly surprised with the experience we had with BJ's ATV rentals. Everyone was super friendly, especially the fellas that came to our rescue when we got stuck in the sand (so quick too!). Our shuttle driver was so kind and informative as he's lived in Oceano for 53 years! One hour was definitely not long enough!

    They charge extra for paying with credit card, no fees for debit card.  They don't mention it but it's also posted on the bulletin board.

    I had a great experience renting from BJ's so I've gone back to them since. Saddened to hear they are out of commission by Oct 2021 as Pismo beach will be converted to a bird sanctuary. So go before they shut down! Easy, quick service. For beginners, I recommend the kymco 300, fully automatic. It's just easier. We got the semi automatics (Honda 250cc) this most recent visit. The main difference is the 250cc has several gears. There's a learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it's really fun. A tip, just because there are 3+ gears, it doesn't mean you have to use them. Go with whatever speed you're most comfortable with. You can book online or just go into the store (pay with debit card instead of credit card to waive fees 3%!) $275 total for 2hrs x 2 people. Next, watch the instructional video outside. Drive down the block and park in the free parking lot. They have an old SUV driving you to the ATV spot to get helmets and the ATV. Get ready for a great time! One last tip, stand up and look how steep the hill is before attempting at high speeds. Might just save your life or body aches.

    We checked this place out because one of the people in our party had a great experience the first time he rented ATVs. Well, that was a few years ago. We noticed the ATVs/quads and the "Rhino" were not very well maintained. We had a 400 and during use the chain fell off, and we had to call and have them bring us another one. The Rhino began malfunctioning before we even left the staging site. Ultimately, the rhino was a poor choice on our par, but oh well. It began hesitating while driving, lights were flashing, and it was even backfiring. I think we'll go back and try them out again because the customer service was great and no complaints in that department. Maybe we'll be more deliberate when receiving the "subpar" equipment?! We have seen that others on here have reviewed similar issues.

    The entire BJ team is so amazing! They are the only ATV rental company I use when we visit Pismo. I've used their services at least four times- The front office (where you pay and fill out paperwork) is so friendly and thorough with instructions, the shuttle drivers are very polite and sociable, the team giving the helmets and equipment is professional and fun. My last visit (9/2/22) was perfect; weather was great and shockingly the beach wasn't busy. Highly recommend using this company ESPECIALLY because the dunes are due to close in about 22 months

    This place was great so easy friendly staff and very affordable they take you to the dunes and set you up with a quad of your size , pilot the yard guy was so helpful! Will definitely rent from them again!

    Great time just like the last time! I hope they really don't remove the ATVs from the dunes! A lot of ppl will be sad! I love it here! I'll be back before they plan to take it away in march 2024 )-:

    DO NOT RENT with Sun Buggy. They will steal your deposit! They did NOT return our full deposit…read more$500 and they charged $500 to another family that rented the same morning. They stole $1000 from us. I got a group of friends together for my birthday to go ride in the dunes on Dec. 20 2025. We called the day before and rented 3 Atvs for 2 hours, and another family we were with rented 5 Atvs for 2 hrs. We thought they would have solid safe vehicles for us to use since we signed the day before. After an hour my friends ATV broke down, and the other family had 2 Atvs break down. One of the Atvs was 50ft away from being returned and the guy was driving 5 mph and the belt broke on his ATV. And they CHARGED US BOTH $500! We had ordered all of these ATVs the day before so we could get the "early special". But instead Sunbuggy walked away with $1000+the cost of rentals for two families which was also well over $1000. They charged our friends family $500 on the spot and a week later charged us $500 on my credit card basically not returning the deposit and claiming we also broke the belts on there ATVs after riding them for one hour!? One ATV they claimed the family broke had a child on it going very slow the whole time. I am hoping to file a joint lawsuit and or get the news/ police involved with this company. They are clearly stealing people's money and making the county of San Luis Obispo look bad for allowing these scams to happen to so many families. This type of business will make people never want to return to Pismo Beach. That's bad business for the community, not just looking bad for Sunbuggy. Also there was another man in line trying to get his $500 deposit back from the day before and they told him to call there non existent 1-800 number as a joke. Clearly this company is scamming people and should be held accountable. How long will they go on like this until someone goes to jail?

When I asked for the Polaris 1000, the lady at the counter asked me if I was sure I wanted the 1000 and not the 900. I told her I have experience and I feel very comfortable driving it. The vehicle we received was clearly beat up and run down. Zip ties to hold the trim piece, the doors wouldn't close to easy, driver side mesh shield did not have a way to clip it so it flaps as you are driving, major rust and paint pealing frame (I have pictures). About 30 minutes into our drive we stalled. Due to recent rain and fully inflated, non sand-pedal tires, we dug in the wet sand. I tried going in reverse and the gears grinded. All kids out, we started digging. We finally got the Polaris out but this time the "H" gear did not work, only the "L" gear. Check engine light was on as well as the steering wheel with exclamation mark light. I decided to drive the vehicle back to camp. Upon arrival I explained the situation and the reply was: "everything was working when you left here." I was treated like the bad guy and was even refused to get my receipt back, let alone credit for my time. It felt like this scam was very well orchestrated. Long story short, they are claiming I was responsible for destroying the transmission. Short of driving the Polaris full speed and putting it in reverse I have no idea how a transmission would suffer this much damage. I am glad I took pictures and videos and have already spoke to my attorney. This is clearly a scam to have clients pay for maintaining their broken down vehicles. They ruined our day and made us feel cheated.
