Have you ever used a rented car to tow a trailer?

Question

I'm trying to do that but car rental agents are telling me that it's not allowed !!! Have you ever rented a car that has a hitch? Do rented cars come with hitches?

Answer 1

I rented cars every weekend for many years (I drive a truck during the week) and never found one with a trailer hitch. I did rent a van once and a pick up once that had hitches but no cars.

Answer 2

From a rental car agen't standpoint:

Propelling or towing a trailer or another vehicle is not permitted, it's a strain on the vehicles and too much of a legal/insurance issue.

Try Uhaul or Budget, they have small vans that you can rent (without the enormous expense of a full size moving truck) that you would be allowed to tow something with.

Or, try small, individual dealership based rental companies like "rent a wreck". Thier rules may be a little different than of a major corporation like Enterprise or Dollar. Check your yellow pages for that.

Answer 3

Well they do rent trucks, from small to great big. They also rent full size trucks. A Uhual Truck can tow a trailer. I think it might be liability and most cars aren't set up to tow a trailer.

Answer 4

Some rented trucks have hitches.Ha man you know what say. DRIVE IT LIKE A RENTAL. Best of luck.

Answer 5

I rented a van with which I towed a trailer.
