Default Pick up Truck Rental

I searched, but found nothing recent.
My dully is down, and I need to rent to a pickup, preferably a 3/4T for Porschefest. I know a few had rented from Avis, but I have had no luck when I called Avis about renting a pickup. Last person thought I wanted to get picked up (no pun intended) and said they do not offer that service in my area.
Any there any nationally based options?

When and where do you need to pick one up?

Have you tried Enterprise Commercial Truck rentals? It's been a while since I checked them out but they are one of the few that will rent a truck with approved towing.

I am not sure they will let me tow my 24’ enclosed trailer with a boxed truck.
As update, I talked to the service guy at the dealer and they will try to get the part installed and reprogrammed tomorrow if I get them the truck by open tomorrow. Just waiting for the indie to finish the brake job.
I also can borrow a truck from my race shop.
Joys of going to the track��

This is the answer to your question. Call “Enterprise Commercial” and reserve your pickup truck!

If it doesn't get fixed As mentioned above, Enterprise Truck will rent you one. I rented an F250 one time when my truck was down. It had the smaller motor in it and struggled on the mountains but did the job.

In the future, try U-Haul! They rent pick-up trucks with hitches.
