How to Make Money Renting Your Land to ATV and Dirt Bike Riders

List your land

By Traqhunter ·

Quick answer

You can earn from unused acreage by renting it to ATV, UTV and dirt bike riders by the day. List your land on Traqhunter, the marketplace for private motorsport land rentals, for free, set your own price, rules and dates, and get paid through Stripe. Traqhunter keeps a 4% fee only when you're booked. You'll need your own liability insurance before you host.

What kind of land works for riders?

You don't need a motocross track. Riders book:

  • Wooded trails for ATVs and dirt bikes
  • Open fields and pasture for casual riding
  • Hills, creeks and mud for UTVs and 4x4s
  • Simple dirt tracks if you have one

Most important: enough room, clear boundaries, and space to park trucks and trailers.

How much can I charge?

You set the price. Look at similar listings on Traqhunter in your area. Many hosts price low per rider per day to stay affordable, then earn from repeat visits. Weekend and group rates can help too.

What does it cost to list?

  • Listing is free.
  • Traqhunter keeps a 4% fee only when you're booked.
  • Payouts go to your bank through Stripe.

How do I set rules and stay in control?

  • Choose which vehicles you allow: ATV, UTV / SxS, dirt bike, 4x4.
  • Set hours, rider limits and no-go areas.
  • Approve the dates that work for you.
  • Every rider signs Traqhunter's motorsport waiver before paying.

Do I need insurance?

Yes. Traqhunter doesn't provide insurance. Hosts need their own liability coverage before hosting riders. Talk to your insurance agent about recreational use of your land. See landowner insurance for more.
