Why Beach4x4
Bret and Diane run Beach4x4 out of Kill Devil Hills. Every rental leaves the lot with both ORV permits 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.
Permits Included
Currituck (Corolla/Carova) and Cape Hatteras ORV permits are already on the windshield. 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.
Pricing
Open year-round, 7 days a week, 7 AM to 8 PM for reservation holders.

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.
