Default Towing

I'm moving and so need to tow my car. Uhaul's website says that our cars are incompatible with their towing equipment b/c the spoiler interferes with loading and unloading. I assume they mean the chin spoiler. Has anyone towed their car like this before (four wheels off the ground). I would think I could just use some 2x4's to step up. This is how I get my car onto ramps.

We've used the U-haul car haulers a few times... This is the full trailer that gets the car completely off the ground, ie. not a dolly.

It works you might need boards to get the car on.

U-haul peepz tend to be idiots so they are not very helpful.

You will also have to tell them that you are towing a smaller car (I use a 1988 Ford Escort ) If you tell them that it is for a Camaro, alot of times hey won't rent it to you. But it will fit, I've done it before, and I'll do it again.

Its the chin spoiler. It will sometimes scrape on the back of the trailer when pulling on/off of the ramps because our noses are long and that spoiler is low.
