Anyone know of any places that rent out trailers for moving vehicles - other than uhaul?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
There is a big debate about just how badly screwed you will be if you're involved in an accident with a HMMWV on a uhaul trailer due to things like it's oversized for the trailer, heavier than they rate the trailer for, and that you have to lie in order to rent the trailer.RentalMax and Sunbelt both carry them.
What vehicle are you attempting to transport?
I moved my HMMWV about 200 miles on a Uhaul Trailer when I bought it.
How did you find it-did it work well? I checked the specs out and my hitch (stock F150) is only rated at 5000lbs unless I have weight distributed setup. And sounds like uhaul doesn’t allow the WDH on their trailers.RentalMax and Sunbelt both carry them.

We’ll see. I’m checking things out now..
Here in the city there is an independent trailer company that rents just about any kind of trailer you might want. Car Haulers, Horse Haulers, Race Car Haulers, and Cargo Trailers. These folks build custom trailers and they keep a small fleet to rent.
Chances are that you might find a place like that in your neck of the woods too... Maybe?
Search yellowpages.com for “equipment rental”.We’ll see. I’m checking things out now.
What I’m actually moving is a Volvo c303. Will be driving about 5.5 hrs on highway. About 5300 lbs. 90” wheel base. So about 40” less wheelbase than hmmwv but about same weight. I figured I should be able to balance on the trailer to get tongue weight ok. Maybe?
I successfully moved my HMMWV with a uhaul trailer and truck from gov panet to my place, a guy at the place was like "the uhaul insurance wont cover the trailer if it's damaged".There is a big debate about just how badly screwed you will be if you're involved in an accident with a HMMWV on a uhaul trailer due to things like it's oversized for the trailer, heavier than they rate the trailer for, and that you have to lie in order to rent the trailer.

Fortunately I had no problems
I told my buddy about how well it went and he decided he wanted to move his HMMWV over to an event, so my buddy got his truck, rented a uhaul trailer and we loaded it up, but he decided to move his truck a bit forward before we tied it down and his HMMWV rolled forward and off the trailer and destroyed the trailer, we had to pull it off and it destroyed the trailer fenders during that process. No damage to the HMMWV though.
He had bought the insurnace, and just dropped it off at the rental location destroyed and everything. He didn't have to pay a dime for it since he bought the insurance.
You already posted this and you received multiple replies.Did you experience a lot of sway while hauling with the uhaul trailer? I am concerned that I won't be able to travel at highway speeds without sway. Was yours a 2 door or 4 door with a soft top of hard top?
Mine is a M1097A2 2 door pickup with an empty bed. I own a trailer that is similar to a uhaul trailer.
I appreciate any information that you can share
Thanks
