Risk & Liability

Driving or riding in an ATV/ORV involves certain inherent risks, including the potential for property damage, personal injury, or death.
By renting from Cadillac ATV Rental, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

  • The renter operates the rental vehicle at their own risk.

  • Cadillac ATV Rental is not responsible for, and does not assume liability for, any property damage, loss, theft, personal injury, or death arising from the use of a rental vehicle.

  • All renters are required to read and understand the entire rental contract before signing.

  • Please review our Rental Agreement for complete terms and conditions.

Reservations

  • If you are going to be late, please call us right away and speak with a staff member. Missing your reservation time without contacting us may be considered a no-call/no-show, which results in no refund.
    If you make the effort to contact us, we will do our very best to work with you to adjust your reservation if possible.

    • Cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance will receive a Cadillac ATV Rentals gift card (no expiration) or the option to reschedule.

    • Cancellations made less than 24 hours before your reservation may result in no compensation.

    • If you do not call and miss your reservation, you will be considered a no-call/no-show and will not receive any refund or credit.

  • Please make sure your watch or phone is set to Michigan Time (EST). Many of our guests travel from different time zones, which can cause missed reservations — especially during peak vacation times when we are fully booked.

  • For the best experience, large groups should avoid holidays and Saturdays in July and August, when trail traffic is at its peak.

    • Rentals operate in the rain. If possible, we will work with you to reschedule.

    • If weather conditions are deemed unsafe by us or the DNR, we will cancel your rental and issue a full refund.
