One Way Trailer Rental
 

Hello,

My family and I are moving from Mebane, NC to Paducha, KY in a couple of weeks. I have a 73 Dart (not running) I'd like to move using a one-way trailer rental. The only business I've found that does one-way trailer rental is U-Haul and the fee is $841!!! That is highway robery.

I've checked the bugets, penske, ryders, but none of them do one way rental without renting their moving truck too.

Does anyone have an idea who I could rent a one way rental from?

Thanks,

Chris Hill

Chris,

Something you may want to consider is a tow dolly. Put some good tires on the back on your car, strap it down and hook 'em. I did this 850 miles with a '69 Chevelle and had no problems.

Even the tow dolly one way rental was $420. I've considered this, but that is too much. I almost bought a dolly for $400 before.

Thanks for the reply,

Chris

Wow, U-haul must really not like those two cities. I have rented a U-haul car trailer twice, one way each time. Once from Des Moines to Chattanooga and another time from Greenville SC to Chatt. I think the most I paid was the Des Moines trip and it was under $200. You should try checking rates from Raleigh, Durham or Greensboro instead of Mebane. Also check to the largest nearby city in KY. You might have to run around a little to pick up and drop off, but it should be much cheaper.

Hi Chris
I work for uhaul what happens somtimes. Is if they have a lot of
equipment in one location they raise the rate to slow the flow
into that area.

I've moved cars one way several times,looked in the local trader paper where i purchased a car & found a used trailer. Doesn't have to be an expensive car trailer. Some of the equipment types with wood flooring are inexpensive & have brakes.When i got the car home sold the trailer & lost maybe $50 to $200 but always less than renting one.Most states will give you a 10 day tag.Just an idea that always worked for me.

Dennis,

Your exactly right. I changed going from Efland, NC to Paducah, KY to Burlington, NC to Clarksville, TN. The clarksville one way is $91, a savings of only $700!

Thanks everyone for your help.
