RPS Rentals

RPS Rentals Rock!
With rain in the forecast one day and a low ceiling the next day, Jason was great to work with us to help make the most out of our trip. Based on his recommendation we ended up going out on a different day (due to weather) than we had originally planned — at no additional cost. The UTV (Polaris Ranger) that we rented was in like-​new condition, exceptionally clean and easy to operate. Jason did a great job recommending photo ops, routes, etc…
I have yo agree with Steven P. that Slow-​Groovin BBQ is a great place to warm up, grab some great BBQ and a nice beer. Very surprised to see a place like that so far out in the mountains and enjoyed the good food and service.
I would highly recommend RPS rentals if you are interested in renting from great people, renting a great ride and having a blast!

My wife and I looked into renting ATVs from multiple rental places and went with RPS rentals due to the reviews. Originally reserved for a Saturday. Torrential down pour in the morning but we still went to the place thinking we would be charged. Without any hassle Jason offered to reschedule without penalty. We rented the next day and had an amazing experience. Sturdy and comfortable vehicle. Amazing views anyone could appreciate. Highly recommend RPS.

This is by far the best unguided atvs rental service I know of in Colorado. The scenery in this area is gorgeous: 100ft drop-​offs, crystal clear river views, massive aspen stands, flowering alpine meadows in the summer and the mill. WOW!!! Its out of the way but unforgettable, really remarkable scenery. Owner is very knowledgeable and sets you up to have a really fun time!!! Highly recommend rps for an awesome trail day!!!
PS go to slow-​groovin bbq afterwards for some crazy backwoods smokehouse bbq. Definitely did not expect to find that so far in the mountains!!!

My 13 year old son and I went to Colorado for a few days. This was the highlight of our trip for both of us. We are novices but the ATV was very easy to operate. The trail is not well marked but fairly well worn. Breathtaking scenery. Riding through small streams was a blast! Also, it was hot in Colorado when we were there, so being in the higher elevation kept us cool. We were actually above snow patches at times. I would highly recommend this. We debated between an ATV and a UTV. The ATV was new (2014) and large so it suited our needs. Bring gloves! Bring snacks and water. I let my 13 year old drive and he did great. Can’t do that on a «tour».

Lots of fun! Great vehicles and service!
We’ve been to Marble many times just to camp and we finally decided rent the ATVs to see more of the area. It really was the highlight of all of our trips to Marble. The loop that the owner suggested was fantastic. It covered all of the Marble attractions without being too terribly difficult and took about four hours with lunch and photo stops.
Originally we had reserved two four wheelers. Just before we were supposed to pick up our rental, our other friend cancelled so we figured we would be left paying for the unrented ATV, which would be fair considering we cancelled very last minute on a weekend. However, when we arrived that owner was extremely friendly and didn’t make us pay for the ATV that we didn’t end up taking. This was very kind of him and unexpected. We certainly appreciated it. However, I would doubt that this would always be the case. It was a slow weekend and he said it wouldn’t have been rented out anyway. Either way, it was very nice of him to do that for us when charging us for two would have been totally fair.
All in all, it was a great experience and we will certainly recommend them to anyone going to Marble.

5 stars isn’t enough for this place. Renting a Polaris Ranger side-​by-​side and doing the loop through Crystal and back through Lead King Basin was the highlight of our trip to Marble. The prices are reasonable and the experience is one-​of-​a-​kind. They also rent 4-​wheelers and for the winter, snowmobiles. Jason, the owner, is a great guy and very helpful. If you are in Colorado and want to drive some of the most scenic 4×4 ‘roads’ in the state (and perhaps the country), mark RPS #1 on your list. They have 4 and 8 hour rentals. The 4 hour is good for the loop, but if you plan on making an extended stop in Crystal or want to do lots of photography and or do some hiking, get the 8 hour rental. It is so worth it! Renting from RPS sure beats taking your own vehicle to do the loop. What an awesome adventure… Thanks Jason! Can’t wait to come back next year.
Side note: All the rentals come with a SPOT GPS tracking unit in case you run into any trouble or need help. That piece of mind alone makes it worth the rental. We almost did the loop in our own 4×4 Ford Expedition, but I’m glad we didn’t.
