About Us

There’s no better way to take in the beauty of the Blue Ridge than by hopping in a street-legal side-by-side and hitting the road. That’s exactly what we offer at Appalachian UTV — freedom, flexibility, and a real taste of the High Country.

Our Story

Appalachian UTV got its start right here in Banner Elk, NC. Built by a local with a passion for the outdoors and a vision to make mountain exploration more accessible, the idea was simple: give folks a way to explore the area on their own terms — no trailers, no tour guides, no hassle. Just brand-new, top-spec Polaris RZRs, ready to roll.

What Sets Us Apart

Drive straight from town — all our RZRs are road-ready and fully street legal.
Book how you want — 4-hour, 8-hour, 24-hour, or multi-day rentals are all available.
Skip the paperwork — reserve online, upload a few pics, sign your waiver digitally, and you're off.
Ride in confidence — Each UTV is professionally maintained and outfitted with the latest technology available in today’s side-by-sides.
No set path — go where you want, when you want. Your route is your own.

Why We Do It

We’re here to share what we love. These mountains, this town, and the thrill of the ride. Whether you're here for a quick weekend trip or something longer, our goal is to make your experience smooth, exciting, and unforgettable.
