Jeep & 4×4 Rentals on the Outer Banks
Family-owned 4×4 rentals out of Kill Devil Hills. Permits, recovery gear, and pre-aired tires included — drive Corolla, Carova, and Cape Hatteras the day you pick up.
Why Beach4x4
Bret and Diane run Beach4x4 out of Kill Devil Hills. Every rental leaves the lot with both ORV permits, pre-aired tires, and the recovery gear you’ll actually need on the sand.
One Flat Weekly Rate
$1,338 for the week — same price for any 4WD in the fleet. Includes free parking for your personal vehicle. Send proof of full-coverage personal auto insurance and you’re booked.
Permitted and Aired Down
Currituck (Corolla/Carova) and Cape Hatteras ORV permits are already on the windshield. Tires are set to beach pressure before you arrive. Wranglers and Gladiators seat 5; the Armada seats 8.
Carova Wild Horses
The wild Spanish mustangs live on the 4×4-only beaches north of Corolla. You’ll see them in the dunes, on the road, and sometimes wandering through driveways.
Local Expertise
Call or text Bret with questions before, during, or after your rental. He’ll tell you which ramps are open and where the surf is fishable. Bring the dog — we don’t charge pet fees.

Where Can I Drive?
Corolla / Carova 4×4 Beaches
11 miles of beach at the north end of the OBX, where the pavement ends in Corolla and the sand is the road. Wild Spanish mustangs live in the dunes year-round. About 30 minutes north of our shop.
Cape Hatteras National Seashore
Designated ORV routes south of Nags Head, including Cape Point — a well-known spot for surf fishing. 1.5 to 2 hours south of our shop depending on the ramp.
Ocracoke Island
Reachable by the Hatteras–Ocracoke car ferry. Your Cape Hatteras ORV permit covers Ocracoke too.
