We booked UTVs from Glacier Ridge Runners the night before and showed up excited for a full-day adventure. What we got instead was a dangerous, disappointing, and unprofessional experience that cut our trip short and raised serious safety concerns. When we arrived, the UTVs had severely scratched and clouded windshields--so bad you could barely see through them. This was supposed to be a sightseeing trip, but we literally couldn't see. It rained heavily (which we expected and were excited for), but due to the unsafe condition of the windows, our lead driver had to remove his entire windshield just to safely descend the mountain. As a result, he and his fiancée got soaked and freezing, and we were forced to end the trip early--not because of the weather, but because they were too cold and wet to continue after removing the windshield to safely descend the mountain. Meanwhile, we saw multiple other UTVs from the same company on the trail with clear, well-maintained windows, which proves they knew exactly what condition they sent us out in--and didn't care. That's not just poor customer service--it's blatant negligence. On top of that, the map they gave us was nearly worthless, and the trail we were sent on was so tame and mediocre, we could've enjoyed the same views from the comfort and safety of our own truck--with a window we could actually see out of. Which is probably a good thing, because given the state of our UTVs, we couldn't see where we were going anyway. When we brought the vehicles back and calmly asked for a refund, we were met with attitude and a dismissive, "It is what it is." They promised a call from the owner that never came. When we followed up, they refused to refund anything and acted like we were just complaining about the rain. We came to ride in the rain--that wasn't the issue. The issue was being sent out with unusable, unsafe equipment on cliffside trails. To make matters worse, we started digging into other customer reviews and found a disturbing pattern: Glacier Ridge Runners has a history of charging customers $9,000 or more for minor or questionable damage that should realistically cost only a few hundred dollars. This looks like a predatory business model, and we took detailed photos and documentation in case they attempt to pull the same stunt on us. We will be reporting this business to the Montana Office of Consumer Protection for both negligent safety practices and suspected fraudulent billing behavior. Avoid this place at all costs. Unsafe equipment, dishonest communication, shady billing tactics, and zero accountability. Rent elsewhere. read more

If you're going to rent from anyone, this is the place to do it. We booked a trip to Glacier from out of state, and the staff here was incredible, kind, patient, and super helpful. As first-timers to Montana, we had a lot of rookie questions, and they took the time to answer every one of them. They even worked with us around some last-minute changes to our park reservations. 10/10 experience! read more

Super friendly service. However their pricing is incorrect on their website, we were told $100 to increase to a full day, but we were charged $199 due to a hidden "evening fee" So be sure to ask for hidden fees and details before allowing them to charge your card after. *update: they do honor what they say they'll charge, if you bring it to their attention. check receipts :) read more

This is how Glacier Ridge runners turned my five-star review into a one. It was easy signing in and getting setup for some offroad UTV's. The 4-seater that looked like it had been down some trails in its life with over 90,000 miles and a brand-new Can-am defender 3-seater. We were given maps to the trails and instruction on the best routes to optimize our experience. Midway through our morning the oil light came on in our 4-seater. Out of respect for the equipment, we ran it back to let them check it out while we grabbed some lunch. They were quick to get it in and resolve the issue. The second part of the day took us up over a dam and into some pretty crazy trails, some were pretty tight with just enough room to squeeze through. These are mostly service trails; occasionally you would have to squeeze by a small SUV or in some case a full-size truck pulling a fifth wheel. There were the occasional pull offs, but if you got over in the brush a little there was always room to squeeze by. The further we got up the mountain the tighter the trails got, and they always ended at amazing mountain overlooks, and on one trail, a waterfall. My family had an amazing day. The smiles on the kids' faces would remain all the way home, definitely a memorable experience. Talks about making this a yearly event. Talks about bringing friends and family back to share it with them. Unfortunately for me it became not be so memorable. We returned the UTVs at the end of the day and the first comment from an employee was about green on the roll bar on the passenger side of the 3-seater. The roll bar was powder coated in black with a sand media to make it rough. Of course, if you get over into leaves and pine trees, it will get green on it. There was no focus on the other unit at all. I understand this was a new unit, but regardless they are being driven down trails through a forest. You are paying a premium for driving an offroad machine in offroad conditions. They are going to get some greenery and scuffs on them. After some grumbling, the employee said it should wash off and signed off on them. The next morning, I opened my email to a bill for damages totaling close to $300 and a refuel charge that had been automatically charged to my credit card. I called Glacier Ridge Runners first thing that morning, I was sure there was a mistake and we had been billed by accident. The gentleman told me no we damaged the unit and are being charged for it and on top of that we didn't refuel the 3-seater. I told him I would like to come and see the damages and he agreed. The gas station was at the same facility as the rental office, and they watched me fill both units prior to returning. The 3-seater had needed topped off before we used it that morning, so I'm not the first to make this mistake. Make sure you fill it all the way up. Don't just fill it until it clicks. The first thing I did when I got to their facility to check the unit out was open the gas cap, where gas came spewing out. Someone had to prove a point and over fill the unit. I honestly didn't see anything broken or wrong with it as I gave it a walk around. I asked the gentleman on duty what was damaged, and he said the side panel. "Are you kidding me those scuffs and it's being replaced. At what point do you stop charging for normal wear?" I was told the boss said to replace it, so it's ordered. I left confused and unsure of what I could do to correct this. After more thought, I called them again requesting a copy of the contract to which they refused to provide and eventually hung up on me. I am extremely disappointed in how unprofessionally this was handled. They refused to have a normal discussion about it. They have lost any business from my family, friends, and our business associates for the indefinite future. I wish we could have ended this experience as great as it started. read more

First of all our boy Steve super helpful cool dude. UTV was definitely up to the challenge of the terrain you would run across on. We did the 8hr day one and had plenty of time to hit the things we wanted. Their location to the trails we were on were awesome in terms of giving us opportunity to come back before we hit the second area for snacks, gas and a quick break. Super smooth turn in at the end. Only recommendation would be a more accurate map in the binder but that's nothing in the bigger picture of this experience. Thank you GRR! read more

Can't put into words how much fun this was. We were staying in Big Fork and this was well with the trip. The staff was friendly and the trails were incredible. The vehicles were also brand new! Pro tip - pack a cooler ahead of time so you can stop for a picnic anywhere you'd like on the trails. read more

I would suggest this business. They'll take care of you. Provide excellent information on where to go for the best views or if you're in for a fun ride. My son and I had a blast. We will be back for sure. The side by side was in great running condition and performed well. Cheers! read more

I have rented UTVs across the US and have never had as bad of an experience as I had here. Firstly, they don't even take the time to print out a legible map, but that's the least of my concern. The UTVs they gave us had horrible visibility through the windshield. We noticed other UTVs on the trail from the same company with windshields that looked fine. The trail was not enjoyable as we had to go so slow due to horrible visibility. Our lead driver had to remove the windshield in order to safely navigate back to the headquarters. In the process he and his fiancée were drenched by the time we got back as it was raining. We knew it was going to be raining which is no problem. The problem is we were knowingly given poor equipment and when we arrived back they said "it is what it is, the windshields were new at the beginning of the year." We had only completed one trail which was the closest trail to the headquarters before becoming drenched and cold. We were expecting to get wet from riding in the rain but with the anticipation that we would have a windshield to look through. We were told that Niel was who we needed to talk to and that he was gone until 5pm and he would give us a call then. No call, no response to texts, ignored our calls. So disappointing that we didn't get a full day experience due to worn and un maintained equipment and to top it off, the company did not care about our experience in any manner. No apologies, no refund, no credit to come back and ride with better equipment. The only thing we gained from this experience was "it is what it is read more

Easy to fill out waiver, business was easy to find. The guys working were nice and knowledgeable about the trails and our expectations of our excursion. They gave good recommendations for where we should go and the ATV was easy to drop off at the end. You're given a walkie-talkie in case of emergency. read more

So fun!! After reading some of the reviews we stopped in to get some details. The attendants answered all of our questions and we decided to book a full day. It did not disappoint! The provided maps were all we needed! Really great way to explore other area outside the park. Would absolutely do again! read more

Rented two side by sides all day. Kids had a blast and the owners were AWESOME!! Highly recommended.

We rented a four seater, just me, my husband, and our two year old son. Our car seat fit perfectly. We drove up to Desert Mountain and the views were spectacular, highly recommend that route. We also had time to drive down to hungry horse Dam and one of the Flathead River Forks where we came across a group of butterflies. Staff was very helpful and friendly. read more

Amazing service! Very helpful and went out of the way to show us the best places to explore. Would definitely rent from again.

My mom and I did a 4 hour morning ride in a 2 seater. The guys provided a map book and radio to communicate if anything happened. They were super friendly and thorough before we left. We went to the top platform and the views were amazing! All the way to Canada! We then took Lion Lake pass over to Hungry Horse Reservoir. Highly recommend the Doris Point lookout. We had a 2 seat can am and it ran great! It runs hot tho so I'd hate to drive this thing in summer. Luckily it was a cool morning. After our journey, we filled up and returned to the rental shack. They again were so friendly and made sure we had a great time! Highly recommend this outfit! read more

Rent an ATV in west glacier to turn your trip up a notch. Rented for an entire day on a great machine! You can get machines anywhere, however it's the people that set this place apart. From my first call, to a change in date, to our pick-up and drop-off, our trip went off without a hitch. The great people in Hungry Horse made the difference. Thanks for a memorable trip! read more

Could use some better maps to help people understand where to go but overall had a great time once we found the trails. read more

Anyone considering renting from Glacier Ridge Runners needs to be aware that you are putting thousands of dollars at risk. GRR does not carry insurance protection for their customers. The rental agreement (in their view) gives them the right to charge your multiple thousands of dollars without your content, and without even explaining the charges. If you put a scratch on their machines, they will immediately charge you $3,500, again without any explanation, notice, or your content. Then, as was in our case, they came back and applied another 1,300 in charges to our credit card (on top of the 3,500) even after I specifically told them that I was not authorizing any additional charges until they explained them too me. They even applied charges (again without consent) to another member of our party who had nothing to do with the damages, who's credit card they just happened to have on file. I have no issue paying valid charges for damages that we caused, however I asked multiple times for a basic explanation of the charges so that I can confirm they are valid, and Glacier Ridge Runners will not respond with any real information or justification. We are in the process of disputing these charges through our credit card company and plan to file a claim but in the meantime, we have all these charges to deal with and am going to have to sort this ensure mess out. If you rent from this company, you are taking a HUGE risk!!! read more

We rented 2, 4 seaters from them and they were great. We left from Hungry Horse and they offered great ideas to head up a mountain that gave spectacular views of the area. A highlight of the trip. As a tip to save time, make sure to complete waivers ahead of time. read more

They were great! We came in unsure of what we wanted except to rent a UTV and a boat on two different days. They had new vehicles ready to rent at reasonable prices. No pressure sales - just conversations about what type of adventure we were looking for each day. They provided the equipment, suggestions and directions - all stress free. Thank you! read more

We booked a 4 hour guided trip. We had a bit of a glitch with our rental car so I called to explain and the owner, Jeanne, was so sweet and understanding when I said we would be a little late. Our guide Maynard was awesome. He made sure we were comfortable the entire time. He had snacks and water for us. He took us to see some spectacular views. We went to the Hungry Horse Dam, saw the reservoir and also saw a couple really pretty lakes. Towards the end we went to Devil's Elbow and took in the beautiful river. We really enjoyed our day and would highly recommend this trip to anyone coming to the area. Thank you Jeanne and Maynard for the excellent customer service and kindness. Such a fantastic day! read more

My wife and I rented a two seater all day and have a fantastic experience following the maps that they gave us. The views were astounding and the Can-Am Commander was very comfortable with great handling and plenty of power. We rode about 95 miles and felt great at the end of the day. Scott and crew were absolutely accommodating. Strongly recommend them for a great experience. read more

Vince aka Cousin Vinny was tha absolute best! He informed us on best trails to take, where to stop, what to do if we needed help. My husband and I felt super comfortable and would definitely recommend this group and Vinny! read more

The UTV ran fine but it was previously wrecked the day before so wasn't nice to look at but that isn't why they got a low rating. We had our 2 boys with us 4yr & 15yr so we rented the 4 seater for 8 hrs they sent us all the way around the lake on a VERY dusty gravel road NOTHING about it was off roading or fun. My kids slept 80% of the time so very disappointing for the most expensive activity for our trip. Told the guys afterwards to never suggest that for a family and they said well Montana doesn't really have off roading and kids seem to fall asleep...really?!? Not my kids unless they are super BORED so that was a complete waste of time and money. I do not suggest it at all. You can see more on free activities or super cheap in Montana. read more

We had the best experience renting from Glacier Ridge Runners. Took the UTV up Going to the Sun Road and the experience of being more open than a regular car was definitely worth it.
