Default trailer rental

Is there anywhere I can rent a car trailer so I can go down south in April?

U-haul rents them, just make sure they get the right size, they are letter coded for specific types of cars (I rented one once and the guy swore it was the right size, when I got it home the car was too wide to fit on it). They cost around $60 - $70.

I rented one from Lindberger (sp?) Trailer Sales in Ellington, Ct a couple years ago. 8.5' x 22' enclosed trailer for $75/day. But, it wasn't returned on time from the people who rented it before me so they only charged me $225 for 10 days! Nice deal!

Yeah Don, I'm alive...just a little busy the past year. The car sat in staorage all last year. I bought a new house last year without a garage. Now I'm building a 30' x 42' attached garage, 12' ceilings, and a room above. Almost done, soon I can have the bird back!

I tried to rent one from Uhaul. They told me when to come to pick it up, then when I got there they said they didn't have any. I was pissed. I called all the Uhauls in my area (like 6-7 of them), no one had a trailor available for the day I needed it.

The U-Haul's are sometimes hard to find so plan ahead and give them a call as early as possible. They are dual axle and have a hydraulic actuator that automatically applies pressure to the brakes as you slow down. They are actually pretty nice, very heavy duty, I even tried to buy one but apparently they destroy them for liability reasons.
