Moab Jeep Rental | Self-Guided Backcountry 4x4 Adventure
Overview
11 hours
Mobile ticket
Renting a Jeep in Moab is more than transportation.
From the moment you drive away, you are no longer limited by schedules or crowds. Red rock cliffs, remote dirt roads, and hidden canyons open up in every direction. With your own Jeep, you choose where to stop, how long to stay, and which road to follow next.
A Jeep unlocks places most visitors never see. Drive iconic routes like the Shafer Trail, cross the flowing creek of Onion Creek, and explore the vast backcountry surrounding Canyonlands National Park. These are quiet, powerful landscapes that feel personal.
This experience creates real connection. Families slow down, couples unplug, and friends share the thrill of discovery together. You are not watching the scenery pass by. You are part of it.
No off-road experience is needed. Each Jeep is trail-ready and comes with local insight to match routes to your comfort level.
Visitors leave Moab with photos. Jeep renters leave with stories they will remember forever.

What To Expect
When you rent a Jeep in Moab, you can expect more than a vehicle. You can expect freedom, flexibility, and access to the real backcountry. Travelers receive a trail-capable, well-maintained 4x4 that is comfortable on pavement and confident on dirt roads. Before you head out, you will get local guidance on scenic routes and iconic trails based on your interests and comfort level. No off-road experience is required. These vehicles are designed to be easy to drive and intuitive, even for first-time explorers. The biggest benefit of a Jeep rental is independence. You explore at your own pace without tour schedules, crowded shuttles, or fixed itineraries. Stop for photos when you want. Take the long way because it looks interesting. Spend extra time somewhere that feels special. A Jeep also provides access. Drive legendary routes like Shafer Trail, explore creek crossings on Onion Creek, and reach remote viewpoints near Canyonlands National Park that most visitors never see. Instead of just seeing Moab, you experience it. More time outdoors. More connection with who you travel with. More stories to take home.

5.00Just returned my Jeep Rubicon after a fantastic 3 day rental. Staff were amazing, giving great advice on which vehicle to hire, best trails to go on , as well as plenty of other useful tips. They went out of their way to give me the jeep on the night before rental so I could have a 4am start to see Messa Arch at sunrise, pic attached. Jeep itself was great, handled as expected and was clean and ready for action. Definitely recommend them for your off road experience in Moab
Great adventure for first times or experienced explorers!

5.00I had an incredible experience with Canyonlands Jeep Adventures during my time in Moab, UT. Renting a Jeep from them was the highlight of my trip. With their extensive fleet of 4-door Jeep Wranglers, I was able to explore Arches and Canyonlands National Parks like never before. The rental process was smooth, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, providing me with a trail guide to ensure I made the most of my adventure. The complimentary cooler filled with ice and water was a thoughtful touch, perfect for staying refreshed during my exploration of Southeastern Utah's backcountry. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a first-time explorer, I highly recommend Canyonlands Jeep Adventures for an unforgettable Moab experience. Five stars all the way!
Awesome experience!

5.00This was a last minute addition to our trip to Moab and it was a great choice. We rented a 4x4 Jeep for the day and went to Canyonlands to drive the Shafer Trail. It was both terrifying and amazing. The Jeep performed perfectly on the switchbacks. I wish we had started earlier in the day because there are some roads in Arches that the Jeep would have been perfect for, but we didn't have enough time.
Canyonlands Jeep - excellent!!

5.00With fingers crossed we called one week before a big eclipse (so lots of tourists) needing an SUV for 8 days. Still cannot believe they had one available! Excellent communication and customer service. Even gave us a discount. SUV was clean & worked great. When we arrived at Moab airport, everyone queued the Enterprise window. We were the only ones at the Canyonlands Jeep & Car Rental (local) window. We were on our way quickly.
AMAZING customer service!!!!

5.0010/10!!! I can't say enough great things about this place! The staff alone are a 10! We arrived to Moab on a Monday in our motorhome and 2 miles from our campground had a blowout to our Jeep. After getting it to the tire shop, we walked downtown to find this shop. I called on the way and spoke with Angela who fixed us right up. I only rented for 2 days originally, but after having additional damage we had to take the jeep to another place after our tires. I called the day I was to return the car to extend and Gage told me that I couldn't extend that they were now booked solid. There was an event in Moab and EVERY rental place was sold out of vehicles. I was a little bit panicked on how we were going to get our Jeep back 20 miles away. This is a tiny town and nothing for miles. I called Gage back and he spoke with his coworkers and manager to work something out for us. What I thought was just another half day rental, when I arrived, he had given Wendy all the information for us and our situation and they were able to let us upgrade to a SUV for a few more days!! They didn't have to do all this! What impeccable customer service, I cannot say enough about Angela, Gage and Wendy!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Only rental to bring jeep to KCNY. Great service!!

5.00Great service from Melanie!! Jeep was in excellent condition. We contacted CJA just a few days prior and they were able to arrange a jeep for us AND the best thing was that they were the only jeep rental place in the area that are at the airport. AND THEY HAD THE JEEP WAITING FOR US WHEN WE ARRIVED AND BROUGHT IT PLANE SIDE. Thank you!! We will recommend CJA to other pilot friends visiting Moab.
Great customer service and up to date newer jeeps

5.00We drove an RV into Moab and Canyonland Jeep Rentals were kind enough to come pick us up at our campground so that we could rent one of their jeeps for a couple of days. The jeep was great, low miles and not worn out. The customer service was impeccable. Wendy picked us up and she was absolutely awesome and Gage was friendly and efficient during the return process. We would definitely rent here again.
Choose Canyonlands Jeep and Car Rental!

5.00If you are looking for adventure with rugged roads and scenic views, look no further! Canyonland Rentals is the way to go. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Zach have us some suggestions on which trails go take, one that was moderate (I thought it was a blast!) and one that was easier to navigate. Since I am a novice to driving on rough terrain, I took the trails a little slower. Even then, it was worth it. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Many places to take pictures. If given the chance, I would do it again, and I would pick Canyonland Jeep and Car Rentals.
