Default Looking for a Trailer

I'm looking for a trailer to rent for VIR. I'll tow with a Cayenne S with an electric brake controller. Anyone have any suggestions.

I have always rented from Uhaul or Rentals Unlimited. I think N&S rentals also carries car trailers. Are you looking for something that they do not have? It is usually really cheap. I think last time I got it 1 interstate for about $110 insured. I think if you get it online and get it two ways its only about $50.

That was plan B. I was on the phone yesterday with UHaul and am exploring that. I know Justin and others have gone that way. I have a trailer located for purchase, but am still looking for a place to store it. So looking at this option as an interim solution until storage space is located.

hey Tuffy, i've seen Justin rent Uhaul twice, and both times, they gave him a really new trailer. Though it weighs around 2000lbs, he had no problem towing it with a Land Rover. His car fit perfectly on it, so I am sure you will have no problem loading yours.

If you do go that route, just make sure you have something to prop up the ramp to make the ramp angle less steep so you won't scrape the chin spoiler. And IIRC, you might have to back up onto it. Good luck and see you at VIR.

x2. Talk to Justin if there is a special trailer model that he rented. (It looks different from what others rented) It worked well for him.

X1 on U-haul. We transported a 73E from GA to VA and the rate was $49.95 + $5K coverage. Nice sturdy trailer.
