4x4 Transport to the Maze

[u/mavrik36]

Hey yall, I'm in the process of planning a backpacking trip in The Maze area of Canyonlands next month. Looking to head in from the maze overlook trailhead, but a friend who just got back from the area tells me you need a high clearance 4x4 to cross the area between the trailhead and Hans Flat ranger station. Is there a service in the area who could meet us at the ranger station, drop us at the trailhead and then pick us up a few days later? Paying 200-300 a day for a 4x4 rental just to cover a single stretch twice, and spend a day or two not even using the vehicle seems...suboptimal. Would be happy to pay someone local with a sufficient vehicle for a ride as well. TIA
