sandalsclub Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Has anyone driven a car to the BV canyon trailhead? I'm debating between renting an economy car (with insurance) or an SUV. Thanks. Quote
nkane Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I was there in March and it was fine with an economy car. Go a little slow. Watch out for burros. Quote
genepires Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 economy car is fine. Watch out for potholes and I don't mean the city kind of potholes but the ones you will want to drive around. I broke some cosmetic fairing by trying to go into it. but what happens in vegas stays in vegas, like the cosmetic parts. Quote
ScaredSilly Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 An economy is fine, as said drive slow, use the berm, and watch out for hookers (they like to pull a trick once in a while). Quote
Drederek Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 There's a couple small washes to get thru and the last 1/4 mile is bone jarring. I'm pretty sure the insurance ends when you leave the pavement. We lost a wheel cover one year but they didn't ding us for it. And if they try to get you to upgrade 3 times they're outta your class of car and you'll get the upgrade for free! Quote
genepires Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 before returning the car back, I took it to a self wash place to get all the red sand out from the outside and undersides. (in case they find some small issue) do not have climbing gear with you when you are at the rental desk if at airport and do not tell them you are going on dirt roads. Lie. Rental company almost forced me to upgrade to a suburban (and pay incredibly insane amount for) to be able to go camping in a pay campground. Any dirt road was not acceptable for the economy cars. Lie. Quote
