Default Renting ATV's or side by side

HAs anyone ever rented an ATV or side by side for hunting. We're looking to go on a hunting trip from September 8-12 and know we could benefit a lot with being able to put on a few extra miles and setup base camp much further in. We're close to Calgary for pickup if anyone feels like making some extra cash for a short rental.

Cheers

Call Pioneer in Calgary. They can help you out. I'm sure they've hot lots in with the oilfield slow.
I think it'd be hard to find someone to rent from privately. Wear and tear, liability etc would be to much for me to feel comfortable letting someone I didn't know take one of my machines...

Pretty certain Pioneer only rents to companies as opposed to recreational users due to them being not set up to offer liability insurance to individuals.....at least that's what I was told last year when I inquired?
If you can rent it thru your business,great. If not,depending upon where you're planning to hunt,I know there's recreational rentals available in both Sundre and Edson for sure,I haven't really looked into CGY very much?

For the cost of renting an Argo for a week,you coulda bought a brand new Chinese quad or a half decent old Honda.
Even quad rentals @$150-$200/day make considering just buying an older beater worth considering,hell ya can resell it after your trip/after the season and get most or all of your $$ back,or for the same cost as 2-3 weeks rentals you could buy a half decent older quad and have it for years.
