I want to do some geological exploration in the 7 mile canyon area.  When I was in Moab this May, I had a rental Jeep Wrangler, but those Budget/Avis etc rentals really are just base model Jeeps, and there were some ruts and rocky areas I did not feel a base Jeep was well suited for.  Obviously I do not want a tour operation. Tour operators are not going to stop for a rock hound nor do I expect them to.

This fall I want to go back with a better vehicle.  I'm not picky, either an AVT or an off-road Jeep.  Can anyone suggest a couple of rental places in Moab that have good equipment at a fair price?

Thanks!

I don't know anything about Moab. When I looked out of curiosity I was surprised that you could rent Jeeps from local companies  that they actually said you could take off road. That seems to be an insurance issue usually.

I don't know how the pricing compares to other places, but my parents rented a jeep from  https://canyonlandsjeep.com/ when we went to Moab. They were very nice, their stuff was in good condition, gassed up and aired down ready to go. When my dad added me as a driver they noticed the vet tag on my license and threw on a 10% discount as well.

National rental car has Jeep Rubicon’s available w/ BFG Ko2/3s as part of their fleet… they may be hard to come by during the summer months as they are frequently rented for wildland fire operations.

When I was hunting last week a guy showed up with a Rubicon he got at the SLC airport but it was random whether he got that or a pick up

I got a Rubicon last time I rented a jeep from SLC airport, next to it was a base model and another rubicon.  Last one I rented in TX was also a rubicon too
