Shmaa Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I'm looking at picking up a car and I would like to tow it back (10hr drive). It looks like I can get a car hauler from u-haul, but they want like 59c a mile for a truck rental. So, does anyone have experience towing with a rental like enterprise? It seems most companies don't allow it. Do they even have receivers on the SUV's and trucks? Any other options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Most do not have recivers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 There was another thread just like this not to long ago. Do a search. I believe the OP couldnt find anyone that would rent a P/U. I believe his choices were a small boxtruck and trailer from uhaul(I have done this), or there was a enterprise in dayton that rented trucks.

MrMeanGreen Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 The Enterprise at Scarborough rents 1500 Series Silverados. Wagner can fill you in on rentals and towing, he worked as an agent for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm buying your Z, want it to be safe for the 3 mile trip home. Flat rate sounds better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 How far away? What about shipping the car? I think for under $600 you can ship them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Enterprise does not allow towing with their trucks at most locations. Unless something has changed that is in the rental contract that you can't do it. I would call the places and check first. I know we had special locks on the recievers of the trucks so people could not tow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckin Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Go to Home Depot and rent their F350 with a dump bed it has a reciever as well. Tell them you want it for a day pick it up early haul ass and bring it back, rental is like $20/day. Or find a dealer that'll do a 24hr test drive....

evan9381 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 i could be wrong, but i think with HD/lowes, $20 is for the first 75 minutes. not all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke with them and the rates aren't terrible but they still do a per mile charge. I'm tempted just to buy a beater suv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
