Once in our trip in San Juan, La Union, I saw a few locals riding an ATV in the sand. I am guessing it’s the best best atv in the area, it looks new too! Now, that makes me wish, I have one or we can rent one to complete our beach adventure.
All-terrain vehicle (ATV for short) is also known as quad bike. Usually this kind of vehicle is single seater but atv side by side are designed to hold not just the rider but one passenger as well. As the name says it, this vehicle is made to handle any kind of terrain which other vehicles cannot. I am not sure if it is legal to drive an ATV on the road but I have seen a hisun atv here in our subdivision. Maybe on national road, it is not permitted, more on super highways.
I maybe generalizing, but I would like to call ATV as the summer ride. We know how summers are; swimming, outing, trekking and almost any adventure one can imagine. And with the ATV being able to navigate in almost any kind of terrain, this is your perfect ride. Use it in the beach, on dirt roads or even when visiting towns (just make sure that it is legal).
Here in the country, ATV rentals are popular near beach resorts. In Boracay, if you want to trek Mt Luho, you will need an ATV. ATV rentals in Boracay ranges from 300 PhP and up. In La Union, ATV rentals is 350 and up and depends on the number of kilometers you will use it. In Tagaytay, ATV rentals is at 400 for 30 minutes and 700 for an hour.
If you are thinking of buying an ATV, the prices goes from 400K and up. And yes, like any vehicle, you need a driver’s license to drive one.
