If you're in Pismo Beach, you've got to check out BJ's ATV Rentals! Such an awesome experience riding out on the dunes--pure adrenaline and so much fun. Me and my cousin had a great time! The process was smooth, the equipment was solid, and the staff was super helpful getting us set up and ready to go. Whether it's your first time or you've done it before, this is a must-do in Pismo. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip and I'd 100% do it again! read more

My wife and I had a great time renting these ATVs out in Pismo Beach last June. Great customer service, smooth orientation and checkout process. Their prices are reasonable compared to the rest of the vendors there, and overall I would do business with them again. This was my 2nd or 3rd renting from them, and I had no regrets. I definitely recommend if you are in Pismo Beach and want to enjoy ATV rising for the day or even for a couple hours. read more

First time ATVing! The rental reservation process was very easy to do online, and check in took less than 20 minutes. Slightly confusing that there are two different locations (one to check in, one where you end up parking and then you have to find the guys who drive your party to the actual place the ATVs are kept) and I definitely think a slightly longer explanation of how to use the vehicles wouldn't hurt but overall everyone had fun! My friend's ATV did break down but it was easy to call the number provided and two workers came quickly to switch out her bike with a working one. read more

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! read more

Been riding with BJ's for 3 years now and they've all been wonderful experiences! Super easy, clear, and fun for all experience levels!

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! read more

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. read more

Booked ATVs for a group of 7 during our Pismo trip. My husband booked the reservation and was told to go to the Pier Ave, however when we arrived the front staff was NOT HELPFUL. She said she couldn't help us and that we needed to go to the West Grand Ave address. My husband called the number on the email and told them what had happened and the staff told us they would be able to help us at the West Grand Ave. We did all the paperwork / checking at west grand Ave and then were directed to go back to the Pier Ave and go meet the shuttle. We were told that BJ's and Steve's were going to become one atv rental. The miscommunication and going back and forth from the two addresses was very inconvenient and unorganized. read more

Awesome! Place to get atv rentals. Easy process and online rental. I could get what atv I wanted

Really amazing customer service! Rental process was seamless, staff was helpful, everything was smooth!

Was definitely better when it was bjs and not owned by Steve's. Steve's i get it is more about the safety videos and wasting you time. Why watch a 30min safety video and then not even confirm if you even watched it or understand any of it. Especially if it's not in a language you understand. Also bjs would allow you to leave cash deposit and Steve's aka "new bjs" only card. And all these threats on how many ways and things they will charge you for when you return. The staff they retained from bjs is the only good thing about the place now tbh. Had a 2 hour ride booked at 3pm. Arrived at 230 shuttle didn't get us to the spot on the beach until 310. Now we watch the 30min video and take the pics of the atvs. We hit the dunes by 340 to 350 and only have a hour ride. Then was told if we're late it's another 50.00 per 15min. But they are the ones stealing time smh. Be aware of the policies and read online first. Also make sure your early. Btw Steve's will be taking the bjs name soon so don't fall for it thinking it was the same good ownership. Bjs was taken over by the city and sold there company to Steve's. Wish I got my money back for the lost hour tbh but overall still good bikes and friendly staff just sucks your scammed from your money in crazy ways. read more

Amazing service, rides were great, bikes are great. Great price as well. helped out new drivers and kid friendly as well.

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! read more

Good, just the morning introductions took a lot longer than it needed to. Other than that everything was pretty good.

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Terrible Service! and DAMAGED ATV Recently visited with a couple friends. The atv that was given to me was filled with rust and dodgy maintenance. My leg was nearly burnt off. Employees were really disrespectful and refused to give me my security deposit. Never coming back. Nobody should be treated this way. read more

We had a really nice experience. I had read about difficulties renting off road vehicles at Pismo. I decided against renting from the biggest of the outfits based on comments I read here. I decided to reserve with BJ's because they for sure had the 'side by side' four wheel drive UTV we wanted. Everything came off without a hitch. The check-in was fast and straight forward. We were able to park our motor home next to where the shuttle took us out to the dunes where the vehicles are. The Honda Talon four wheel drive was nearly new and in perfect mechanical condition. All the staff we dealt with were courteous, friendly and professional. Our time out on the dunes was exactly what we had hoped for. And we got every minute we paid for. No time lost to paperwork, orientation or mechanical stuff. ( I was asked to post a review, there are my honest feelings.) read more

The worst of the worst. There is no where on the email confirmation that once I get there I not only pay 200 for the bikes, but I also pay 200 for the "deposit" that gets returned to me whenever, could possible take 5 -7 days. This is a scam using the "cheaper rate" syndrome when I should have stuck to what I knew and went to Steve's in pismo beach. Susana is rude, unapologetic and completely a thief. read more

Totally awesome time! This is the 2nd time renting at BJ's. Fair prices and super friendly staff. They were very professional and reviewed the safety to assure for a fun filled trip! For two people cost us $160 which isn't bad at all for a 2hr session but it $5 dollars off if you check in on Yelp. This includes the atv rental and helmet, goggles can can be rented by leaving a $10 dollar deposit. I will definitely be back for some more riding. I would recommend this to everyone. read more

Went for a short family vacation in PISMO BEACH days prior to Christmas 2021 and one of the high light was when our 2 kids (22 & 19 yrs old) along with my husband went to drive an ATV from BJ's ATV Rental. All 3 had a blast. Weather was perfect. Went there in the beach around 9:30 am to be picked up and dropped off to the ATV sight. BJ's ATV Rental was very professional and very accommodating. Equipments had no issues and staff was very attentive when called for help. Over all, we had good time doing business with renting ATV from this company. Already planning our next trip!! read more

SUMMARY So-so rental vehicles for an impromptu sand dune rental, but very pricy compared to all day rentals at other places. Nickel and dime scheme is a bit much. SERVICE FEES - 3.5% credit card fee for $1000 hold, but a credit card is required? Nickel and dime... There is a 1000 hold that you have to pay 3.5% fee on top plus 3.5% of your rental price. so your fees can get a bit much. - $40 for gas fee -- we did one hour rental. No way it cost $40 for an hour of operations - $1000 hold. They hold $1000 from your credit card immediately but they return it 3-5 business days? Why can't they return it immediately to you credit card if they can pull it from there immediately? another nickel and dime... PRICE -High for what is it. - You have to drive 10 minutes out before hitting the dunes so you don't get your full hour of fun, you get 40 minutes because 10 minutes to come back. EXPERIENCE -Of course it was fun. Would I do it again? I'd rather rent one for a whole day from a place that's close to where I live. I'll get more fun out of it for a better price. And if it wasn't fun, this place would be a 1 star. Nothing unique about their rental model, of how they operate their business. All about the cash. read more

Easy from beginning to end. Great customer service. Only surprise hold was the insurance that we did purchase because you never know. It was around $500 hold. read more

Rented two 400s and two 150s last minute and they were able to accommodate. Had so much fun we ended up returning the 400s half an hour early from our three hour rental. The 150s had some issues but they were able to swap them out since we were stuck about 50 meters away. Best experience ever. Friendly, straight-to-the point, professional, and knowledgeable guys in the front desk and the guys working on the beach. Thank you for putting in the energy and showing us what the dunes should be all about. Will be returning next time my leave gets approved in December. read more

super good buisness ! Happy i went with bj's , me and my girlfriend couldn't be more happy with our rentals yesterday the 3rd , we had such a good time and the employees were all really great people , the lady who helped us in the front gave us great direction and made paper work quick and easy, also the dude who sized us for helmets and showed us how to ride the ATV's was a super great help and gave us very good direction on where to ride around , was also really great conversation, definitely someone i would want working for my business ! ps: get there early!

Second visit here. Last visit I had the 250, this visit I went with the 400 (worth every penny!). Staff was great. ATVs were 15/16 decent (one broke down 100yards from the start). Prices are pretty decent. I'll likely come back again. read more

I had a great time at the dunes...after the initial nervousness. This is the perfect activity for thrill seekers :) I received great service via phone and when we arrived there. The only con was parking. We weren't given clear instructions and ended up with a ticket. How it works is that another vehicle will drive you out to the dunes after you've parked and checked in. I organized for a group of 6, and I called a week in advance. Everything ran smoothly. They took my card info for the booking, and explained everything, such as: 1. Wear close toed shoes 2. Carry a backpack to keep car keys, phones, etc 3. There is a $100 deposit that you'll get back if the ATV is not damaged. I recommend cash! 4. Choose from 2 or 4 hours of fun (2 was enough for us) Personal tips from my experience: -Make a reservation ahead of time -Wear a face mask to cover your mouth and nose since sand will be flying everywhere -Wear sunglasses -Wear long pants -Wear sunscreen (I had sun burn on my shoulders) It wasn't hot when I went and it was actually windy. The price was around $80/person for 2 hours. The cars were gear shifting ones, not automatic. As a newbie, if I can do it, you can do it too! I did sprain a finger from going too fast, soo be careful! I definitely recommend doing this at least once in your life. You won't regret it. read more

Love the experience supper fun and something to try . Employees super helpful. Only reason why there isn't a 5 star would be due to the fact that after check in they told us to wait for a bus who never came and we had to walk all the way down the beach to get to the buggies . read more

Tons of fun! I'd give a 5 star review for the ATV riding experience. The service I'd give 4 stars. I was told at check-in and read on the website that goggles could be rented for free, just need to put down a $10 deposit. When we were shuttled out to the dunes, the staff manned at the ATV station with all the gear said that they have no such service. Since i was told there would be goggles available at the dunes, I didn't bring any eyewear or sun glasses which would have helped as I did get sand in my eyes a few times. Also would note that there were a few rental companies right at the Pismo Beach park entrance with far better rates. But not sure of their service. All in all, was very satisfied with my experience! read more

We rented a 4 person Honda and enjoyed the hour we had it! The employees were very helpful in getting us going. The team helped us with the right fit for helmets, and explaining the 'ins and outs' of the vehicle. The dunes are lots of fun to navigate through, you just have to be careful especially with the little ones! read more

We have rented with BJ's twice - first time in July 2021(just after covid) and recently in June 2024. There was drastic downfall in our experience in renting vehicles from here. Last time the vehicles were relatively newer and helmets were clean. This time the experience was horrible. The helmets and vehicles were both very worn out and not worth the rental experience. Also, one of the vehicle had issue stopping very often which affected our full group. The pictures are too bad. I hope you can invest in better vehicles and helmets. I do not wish to rent again from here. read more

warning check your contract and what they charge you payment card. they add on more then the amount :do not pay $100 for insurance the rentals are all old and dirty dont waste $ they cant get any more damaged -also beaware bring your own head gear the helmets are so dirty and grimey -last be prepared to be stuck in dunes sand half the time read more

Had my first experience at the Oceano Dunes. We rented a 4 seater, a Honda UTV. Our reservation got pushed back because of the beach tides which was out of their control. Unfortunately this threw a wrench in our trip plans since we were only here for the weekend. They are pretty adamant about not giving refunds. They said refunds are only approved through management so I had to call throughout the day but there was never a good time to catch him since he's out in the field so we were left hanging. They gave us the option to come back and redeem our credit within a year but we didn't want to be constrained by that. Instead, we rescheduled on our last day here and glad that it turned out well. This was also the cheapest price I could find for what we got online. Overall, the service at the office was honestly meh not super great but I will say the people working on the beach were very nice and when we had trouble with the UTV wheels when we were going too slowly uphill someone was very quick to help us (we just all had to help shake off the sand from the vehicle). Naturally the dunes can be a bit scary when you experience a dramatic dip but avoid those at all costs as there was a ATV that had flipped over right before our eyes! read more

I had a good experience! $82 for a 2hr rental (plus $100 deposit though), yelp discount off gas (even though I didn't use much gas). Nice people. Free helmet rental. I wore my own sunglasses, not goggles. There are several areas to roam, increasing in difficulty. I went everywhere and had a blast. #1 rule- Stop at every hill. The drops can be pretty damn scary! Cars go out in the dunes also. 4 stars because my ATV and my friends ATV both stalled. read more
