I have a 2000 pontiac sunfire stuck on a 4 wheel car UHAUL trailer. It was pushed up over the lip and we can't get it off. Is there any way besides a tow truck.

The front tires are over the edge? Is it low enough that you can get a jack to lift it up? Without being able to actually see it, it's hard to say, sorry

Whatever you do, do NOT disconnect the trailer from the towing vehicle. If trying to dislodge a car from a trailer thats disconnected, the trailer will shoot out from under the car and can hit someone. I've seen it happen, it was ugly even tho nobody got killed.
Even a tow truck will have difficulty with this. The best thing to do is to find a way to pull the car backwards off the trailer. Best to hook a chain to frame of sunfire, and pull it backward with another vehicle, or a come-along hooked to a big tree. A come-along to the frame of the trailer may cause the car to hop off backward suddenly, and mash the guy running the come-along.

if the car is over the front lips of the trailer how about this if possible. try standing a jack on a couple of railway sleepers and jack the car up under the front chassis legs till the wheels lift clear of the trailer. pack up the wheels till they are levelish with the lip and then let down the jack, then hopefully its just a case of gently rolling the car back onto the trailer.......or am i living in a fantasy land

get a tow rope & pull it off or use a chain to another car or increase air pressure to give the rim a little bounce to make it uhhhhhh over the hump that's the most effective any else may be dangerous don't get desperate as risks increase so do hazards & yes accidents can happen......

well their is but your best bet would be a tow tuck that way it dont mess anything up on it cause you could use a floor jack and pick it up and take a cummalong and pull it back but itcould break something and a to truck is cheep enugh to have them do it tehn to have to replace anything thatbreaks
