There are many types of car trailers for rent; however, the U-Haul patented auto transport trailer design outweighs the competition in more than one area. It is equipped with automatic brakes, an easy-access loading ramp as well as tilt-out fenders that allow for trouble-free door access. Renting this premier vehicle trailer will truly make moving easier.

Another U-Haul exclusive is that U-haul auto transport rentals are available for both in-town and one way moves behind your own personal tow vehicle as well as behind U-haul moving trucks. When towing with your own vehicle, the car trailer will require a 1 7/8” or 2” hitch ball, an appropriately rated hitch system, as well as external mirrors and fully functional lighting. During the reservation process, U-Haul will provide an exact recommendation for your particular vehicle combination. Rent one of U-haul state-of-the-art car trailer rentals today.
