Your Thunder Beach Ride — Right on Front Beach Road

Classic Rentals, Inc. has been serving Panama City Beach visitors from 13226 Front Beach Road since 1990 — which puts us directly on the Thunder Beach action. Whether you're here for Spring Thunder Beach in late April–May or Fall Thunder Beach in October, we have the perfect vehicle to make your rally experience unforgettable.

The Polaris Slingshot® is the natural choice for Thunder Beach: an open-air three-wheeled powerhouse that turns heads on every block of Front Beach Road. Prefer to roll as a group? Our street-legal golf carts seat 4 to 8 passengers and are the easiest way to navigate the event without hunting for parking.

No motorcycle endorsement required for the Slingshot — just a valid driver's license. We're open seasonal hours during both events, but our fleet books up fast. Reserve early.
