Draco-REX Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 This is a crazy request, and I'm not holding much hope, but here it is: I need to tow a car on a trailer to Topeka Kansas and back. I'm estimating 1400-1600 miles. Going through Enterprise or U-Haul it'll cost at least 900$ just on rental fees. I'd need it from 8/12 to 8/17. I'm providing the trailer, I just need something to pull it. I'm willing to pay $500. I know I'm asking a LOT, but I'm almost out of options at this point. Thanks.

iwashmycar Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 TURO? Example: $24/day and .023 per mile over 1000 https://turo.com/us/en/truck-rental/united-states/blacklick-oh/chevrolet/silverado-1500/799718?searchId=2wX1-FSJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping this works out. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted July 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 No luck. That one didn't have a hitch and the others are close to or over what renting from Enterprise would be. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 $900 seems pretty spot on considering just basic reimbursable mileage rate is .58. Let alone the risk of any damage or failures along the way. At least with say a rental company if something does happen you are covered and they could get you another vehicle. I would not want to be 500+ miles from home with a car on a trailer and have a failure that puts me on the side of the road with someone elses vehicle to boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to take it there and back , would probably cost double to ship both ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 How heavy will it be? Would my V6 ‘01 Silverado longbed be too weak to tow? 4L60, 4-wheel disc brakes, A/C fully charged with Freon but still doesn’t work, doe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after a compression test and some research I think I'm going to drive it. It will just be easier for everyone. Thank you all for your help.
