Auto Transport Trailer for Rent - Need Help Finding One - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello everyone,

Well, it looks like I am heading back to Florida in July for a couple of months for work and this time I want to bring my Camaro with me.

However, when I contacted Uhaul about renting their Auto Carrier, they told me that my car is too wide and too low for their trailer. So, they said no.

Therefore, I was hoping somebody here has another solution for me. I am not really interested in buying a trailer but will consider a used one if the price is right (Uhaul wanted $1,050 plus tax round trip).

*As for the vehicle towing it: it will be my Ford Expedition EL Limited 4X4 with a Class 3 Tow Hitch.

Thanks everyone in advance for your help. I appreciate it.

Joe

Just a FYI I call that BS by buddy uses a Uhaul trailer to transport his camaro to out of state car shows all the time his is lowered as well.

Good luck check with uship.com and let them bid for your business.

Good god $1,050 to rent that POS. Call an Auto transport company and have it shipped for that price. You'll save $1000 in fuel.

I agree. Either have it shipped, or buy a trailer.

I used a uhaul trailer to move to Camaro from Texas to Kansas. I think it cost me like $100 (one way). It took a couple extra ramps but I made it on okay (lowered 1.4"). Pulled nicely and the fold down wheel wells makes it nice.

Thanks everyone. Sorry, I couldn't find my string; it was moved. I am considering buying a trailer instead. I looked into shipping it but since I have to drive to Florida anyway it makes more sense to invest into something that I can resell later if necessary.
