Renting a WaveRunner for the first time is easy, but there are a few things that trip people up. Here is how a Jet Action rental works from start to finish.

Before you book

The renter must be 21 or older and must be the person whose card is on the reservation. Someone else cannot pick up with your card.
Your vehicle needs a 2 inch ball and a flat 4 light plug. A receiver hitch is preferred. See our towing guide.
Plan for the deposit. We hold $500 per ski on a credit or debit card. Cash is fine for the rental itself, but not the deposit. The hold usually drops off in 4 to 10 business days.

Pickup is the night before

Pickup runs 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. That is on purpose. The previous day's skis come in at 5:00 and get cleaned and prepped, and you get to hitch up at night and be at the ramp first thing in the morning, before the heat and the crowds. Drop off is 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. the next day.

What is included

Trailer (single or double)
Life jackets
Gas cans
A walkthrough of the ski and trailer

Tubes are $35 with a pump and flag, and tow ropes are $25.

What to bring to the lake

Your lake pass. Tonto National Forest lakes need a Tonto Daily Pass plus a watercraft sticker for each ski. We sell passes at the shop.
Sunscreen, a hat and polarized sunglasses. Floating ones are worth it.
More water than you think. Arizona summer is no joke.
A dry bag for phones and keys. The VX-C has 19 gallons of storage.
Two padlocks if you want to lock the hitch and the fuel cable. One of our customers recommends it, and we agree.

At the ramp

Launch, park the trailer, and wear your life jackets. Arizona law requires everyone on a personal watercraft to wear one. Clip the engine cut-off lanyard to the driver, keep it slow in no-wake zones, and give swimmers and other boats room.
