towing your car...
 

I'm moving from hershey to norristown in 2 weeks. I'm debating having the g/f drive me from norristown to hershey, then driving back.. after driving the the truck and unpacking and dropping off the truck.

Now, the penske website says the tow dolly is fine for FWD cars, and its $80 less than the car carrier. I'd obviously feel more confortable to have the car on the carrier where its off the ground completely, versus having the front two tires up.

Would I be ok with the dolly, or should I spring for the carrier.

I've never drove with a car on a car trailer of any type, so naturally I'm concerned and I don't want to **** my car up.

spring for the carrier than

my parents have used a tow dolly for years behind their RV. Just make sure you strap it down really good and you'll be alright

Sounds like time for AAA?

...why?

If your gonna pull it...spring for the carrier.

Cheaper to join AAA and have them flatbed it than pay for the flatbed outright? Not sure.

isn't it like $70 to join AAA then have to pay for a tow truck...

It costs 105 for a car dolley and 185 for a carrier to put on the back of a truck

its 99 bucks to join aaa, and thats why you join for FREE towing. just make sure you get plus because they tow up to 100 miles for free.

I'm pretty sure the car has to be unable to move for aaa and they won't pick it up at your house or at a garage.

def. get a carrier of some sort, my buddy did some damage to his old nova using a dolly...not just to the trans, but it actually slipped off the dolly, even after we checked the straps

you're not supposed to tow a rwd car with a tow dolly unless you disconnect the drive shaft.

no, i just had my honda towed by aaa for the guy who bought it becasue he didnt wanna drive it with a "low" clutch pedal. i practically drove it to the flatbed.


spring for the carrier or call AAA fast and dont forget to get the AAA plus or it will cost you

just pay me to drive your car for ya!

AAA is good but not that good.

Or get a uhual trailer. I think it's 50 for the dolly and 60 for the car carrier or something like that. Just show up at uhaul with the penske truck and hope that no one cares.

how do they know if it can move under its own power?

Another option....I think it was $50 to rent from U-hual.
