Side-by-Side Rental in Quebec: Where and at What Price?
By the Groupe Contant Team · Published August 27, 2026
Quick Answer
Where can you rent a side-by-side in Quebec, and at what price?
Side-by-side rentals are offered by outfitters and adventure centres across several Quebec regions, notably the Laurentians, Lanaudière, and Mauricie. A 2-seat model typically costs $175 to $225 for a half-day, and $350 to $450 for a full day; a 4-seat model costs more, generally $225 to $300 for a half-day and $450 to $600 for a full day. A valid driver's license and a security deposit are required — most outfitters also set an 18+ minimum age, matching Quebec law for this type of vehicle.
Side-by-side rentals are becoming more common in Quebec, whether solo, as a couple, or as a group — a good way to try the vehicle out or get an off-road experience without the commitment of ownership.
This guide covers real pricing by seat count, what documents to bring, and the option Groupe Contant actually offers while you decide on a purchase.
Typical Side-by-Side Rental Prices in Quebec

What to Know Before Renting
- A valid driver's license — legally required from age 18 for any side-by-side operator, with no exception for minors, and always checked by outfitters.
- A photo ID and a credit card for the security deposit.
- The outfitter's minimum age — often 18, matching provincial law for this type of vehicle.
- Included equipment — a helmet is sometimes provided; check the certification before accepting it.
