Reservations
Pick your dates, pick your 4x4, and a transfer vehicle will be waiting for you in the Norfolk International Airport parking garage — drive it to the Outer Banks and swap into your 4x4 at the Kitty Hawk pickup. The keys are in it — no driver to wait on, and landing late is fine. Book below — live availability and checkout on every vehicle. If the week you want is already booked, call or text (252) 564-4218 and we will tell you what is still open.
You are getting off the beaten path
The pavement ends at Corolla. After that there is no road — only the beach, the tide, and whatever daylight you have left. You drive north over the sand with the ocean on one side and the dunes on the other, past wild horses that have had this shoreline longer than anyone else, to a stretch of coast most people only ever see in photographs.
It does ask something of you. Air down to 18–20 PSI before you leave the pavement; the gauge and air compressor are in the vehicle. Check the tide chart going out and again coming back, because a beach that is wide open at nine in the morning can be a narrow strip of soft sand by mid-afternoon. Sand catches people who get casual with it. If it catches you, North Beach Recovery runs 24 hours out of Corolla — (252) 453-0573 — and recovery is at your own expense.
That is the trade, and it is the entire reason to come.
Pick your dates first — the rate drops the longer you keep the vehicle, so the price for your trip is shown in the booking form below.
Before you book
- Every driver must be 25 or older
- A valid driver’s license for each driver
- Qualifying personal auto coverage — liability, collision and comprehensive
- A credit card for the $300 refundable security deposit
A $300 refundable security deposit is taken at booking, and tax is added at checkout. 150 miles are included per day (1,050 over seven days); $0.75 per mile beyond that.
Dates already booked? Here is the backup plan — we will tell you what is still open and how to make your dates work.
Rather talk to someone?
Call or text and a person on the Outer Banks will answer. Booking is done online, but we will talk it through first.
