anyone ever have to rent to tow your car before? it is about 300 miles each way for me to MIR so U haul is the last resort since it is .59/mile. I should have a truck soon but probably not before MIR. any ideas from anyone?

just go to a rent a car place, grab a truck, just make sure there is a hitch on it. Last year, i had a rent a dodge 1500 to go from my house to new york and back. just see if they can allot some extra miles because you have to go far.

dont tell them you are towing. just dont even bring it up

but wouldn't that void your insureance on the truck you rented? also who did you rent from? all the rental car places I have seen only have V6 rentals

 

i rented a truck from a dealership to go get a car i bought. might call around and try that.

 

I never seen one with a tow hitch on it, I called around a few years back and was told they don't rent trucks with tow hitches.

 

enterprise. rent a full size SUV. they should have expedition, yukons, and suburbans.
or you can also use a trailblazer which comes standard with hitches. v6 ftw. lol

 

I use uhaul tow dolleys all the time to drag my car do the track.

 

I wish U haul gave you some mileage on their trucks

 

enterprise

 

IF mikey would chime in (boostedcivicsir) he rented a f250 diesel last year to go to MIR, it had tow package and all (just no trailer brakes) so he towed his trailer with that i believe it was around 250 bucks to rent the truck for hte weekend

hope this helps

the only thing i can say is to call spalco.
they had the best deal, BUT to tow, you need to show full coverage insurance. if i remember it was like 600 for the weekend, but that was fri sat sun and return monday. then there was tax and towing fee. the spalco i called was on hares corner in new castle de. IF i am goin that weekend, i may freelance my truck and trailer. i dont know yet as i didnt get to go to e-town ill have to see if nasteboyii is gonna be done. he hee. we will work things out.

check pm.

 

thanks guys I am goin to call spalco. I think U haul will be like 400 or so for the weekend so we will see who has the better price

 

heres the deal with uhaul and penske, they usually dont rent trailers to less than a 15' truck. so if you arent getting the trailer from them you are good. BUT if you need a truck and trailer, you may have to rent the bigger trucks. l.m.k.

 

I think I got a trailor I can use so I am good on that one. I just need a truck

 

hmm... go buy a cherokee run it then sell it when your done

 

try haddads or whatever it is

 

you can use capps van/truck rental its down ehre in tx so not sure if its in your location but its not that bad in price.

any commercial rental place should be able to take care of yu

 

pull the VSS

 

Enterprise, The trailblazer is a good choice, I use one to tow my car. It has a i6 with plenty of power and real good brakes for towing.

 

Found one for you.

pm'd........
i should be goin, maybe i can pull ya.

 

Drive it!!!! Its has AC! bring some axles! i am sure whatever part you need you can buy down there

 

thought I had a truck last night now I dont. probably dont have a trailor now either. this sucks. I am goin to try enterprise commercial rentals today.

Joe I would drive it but if I break something big I will be screwed

 

Sam you are welcome to use my trailer, its a single axle and it weighs 760, we prob will have to modify it to get your car on it,

your more then welcome to take it!!

let me know i know you have my number...


also If you do end up driving it you can come grab a tranny off of me..hell even a bottem end if you want!

I work at a dealership, and we have a dealer trade truck that we loan out on occasion. I've used it several times to go to the track if it's a pretty far away event.
