Just bring your own truck if possible. The trailers are cheap and can be dropped back off at any uhaul when you're finished.

Stupid cheap as long as you have a hitch that will mount up to their equipment, but even if you have to buy the ball, it's only like $25. Are you just getting a dolly or the whole trailer? Call up your local Uhaul and they'll be able to tell you exactly, but I think I remember the dolly being under $60 if you returned it same day.

The trailers cost 69.00 if it's local in town and being returned to the same location. Just tell them your moving and staying local and bring it back in one piece.

If you tell them your going out of state or taking a long drive, they will charge you more for wear and tear on the trailer.

I use one so often to transport a car from state to state and once a month locally.

If your car is low use a floor jack under the tongue/landing gear and jack it up to get a good angle, had todo that with my old integra.

What I did was lower the landing gear some then used a jack to raise the front of the trailer, while doing this its a good idea to have someone in the truck holding the brakes just so the truck and trailer dont go anywhere.

Make sure you have a working trailer light hook up. They wont rent you a trailer if it dosent work properley.
