I'm going to be moving across the country and I've been looking into all the options. Unfortunately I have a ford explorer which means that U-Haul won't rent a trailer for me to pull behind my suv ...
Are there any other options for places to rent trailers from?
Is there any way you could do a penske truck and a car hauler ? I mean that is how i moved from florida to another state and it did not cost me anywhere near what uhaul wanted to charge me and I also got a triple a discount . I know it is hard to do a cross country move but do check out what a truck and car hauler from Penske would cost .
yeah, Explorer Sport Trac here, Uhaul is odd.
I like Ryder Rents, they do not care about Explorers, cheaper than Uhaul as well.
You might want to look into purchasing a trailer, in some areas you can sell them for twice your purchase price when you are done. I have a friend who buys up a half dozen and sells them for twice on the west central coast only 300 miles away.
On Uhaul, you could pick it up with a different truck. Check the odd uhaul dealer, some do not enforce the rule as much. Try storage yards, some rent trucks and trailers.
If you do rent, check and see what drop off point gives you a cheaper rate. Some are in dead zones and they charge more because the trailer will never leave again.
No, U-Haul still will not allow Ford Explorers to tow their equipment. Would a car top carrier hold enough stuff? You can purchase those many places. Some are soft and some are hard material.
Or would a U-Box work? U-Haul has something called U-Box now. This container is brought out, packed by you, picked up and shipped to your destination.
If you buy a trailer, don't you have to worry about registering it?
I've been debating between pulling a small U-Haul trailer with the 4Runner vs renting the smallest Penske truck and caravaning with the 4Runner. U-Haul trailers don't inspire confidence based on the stories I've heard. U-Haul's two smallest trailers don't even have brakes.
