Rental rates across the powersports industry vary by vehicle type, market, season, and whether you're booking through a traditional shop or a peer-to-peer platform. The benchmarks below reflect actual 2026 market data — useful for renters building a trip budget and for owners calibrating their listing prices against the competition.
ATV rental rates (single-rider)
- Hourly: $45-$85
- Half-day (4 hours): $110-$190
- Full day (8 hours): $150-$280 (shop) | $100-$210 (P2P)
- Weekend (Fri-Sun): $320-$650 (shop) | $220-$500 (P2P)
- Weekly: $600-$1,100 (shop) | $450-$850 (P2P)
Entry-level machines (110cc-300cc) rent at the bottom of these ranges. High-performance models (Yamaha YFZ450R, Can-Am DS 650) command rates at the top of the range or above.
UTV / side-by-side rental rates
UTVs are the fastest-growing rental segment and carry the widest rate spread because the category spans from $12,000 base models to $40,000+ sport UTVs:
- 2-seat utility UTV (e.g., Polaris Ranger, Can-Am Defender): $280-$450/day
- 2-seat sport UTV (e.g., Polaris RZR Trail, Can-Am Maverick Sport): $320-$520/day
- 4-seat family UTV (e.g., Polaris RZR XP4, Can-Am Maverick X3 MAX): $420-$720/day
- Premium/high-performance UTV: $550-$900/day in peak market conditions
P2P UTV rates run 20-35% below shop rates. A 4-seat Polaris RZR XP4 listed on ThrottleShare in a popular trail market might rent for $380-$550/day while the local shop charges $580-$720 for the same trip duration.
Jet ski / PWC rental rates
- Hourly (shop): $80-$150/hour — common tourist-area pricing
- Full day (shop): $350-$620
- Full day (P2P): $240-$460
- Weekend (P2P): $480-$900 for a 2-day rental
Jet ski hourly rates from shops at tourist beaches are notoriously high because of the captive audience. Booking a full-day P2P rental from a local owner saves $100-$200 and gives you more ride time without time pressure.
Snowmobile rental rates
- Half-day (4 hours): $180-$280
- Full day: $280-$450 (shop) | $185-$330 (P2P)
