About 1-Day Rentals

One-day rentals are $275, picked up as early as 7am, due back by 8pm the same day. You can book a one-day rental up to 2 days in advance using our online booking form. Send proof of your full-coverage auto policy to bret@beach4x4.com and we’ll send an invoice.

Why Weekly Rentals Are Our Specialty

At $1,338/week, our weekly rate works out to just $191/day — significantly less than per-day pricing. Most OBX visitors stay for a full week, and a weekly rental gives you the freedom to:

• Catch sunrise and sunset on different beaches.
• Take multiple trips up to Carova to see the wild horses.
• Drive south to Cape Hatteras for surf fishing at Cape Point.
• Take the ferry to Ocracoke Island.
• Avoid the stress of trying to fit everything into a single day.

Insurance Requirements

All renters must provide proof of full-coverage personal auto insurance that extends to rental vehicles. Most credit-card rental coverage is not sufficient because it typically excludes off-road / sand driving. If you don’t have this coverage, you’ll need to purchase a short-term rental policy that includes off-road use.

Cancellation Policy

• 7+ days before pickup: Full refund.
• Within 7 days of pickup: $225 cancellation fee.
• Dangerous weather (severe storms, hurricanes, etc.): Full refund on multi-day rentals — contact us as soon as possible.
• One-day rentals: Non-refundable, rain or shine, no exceptions.

Are the 4×4 SUVs More Expensive?

No. Our Infiniti QX80 and Nissan Armada (both 3-row seating) rent at the same flat weekly rate as our Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators. There is no upcharge for the QX80 or the larger Armada. Larger families get one vehicle for the same price as a Jeep. Both Currituck and Cape Hatteras beach permits are included. See full details on our 4×4 SUV rental page.
