However, some states allow ATVs on certain public roads if they meet specific requirements, such as having headlights, taillights, mirrors, a horn, and proper registration.

Always check local laws before riding an ATV on public roads.
The cost to rent an ATV varies based on location, duration, and ATV type. On average:
