Two Car trailer rental?????

Is there any place that rents two car trailers?

I am looking to attend a few national races this year that are 12-30 hours away. I have another guy that races with me that is willing to help with transit costs and I would really like to take both of our cars.

This only happens once or twice a year, so buying a bigger trailer is not justifiable.

If anybody knows of a place that will rent a two car trailer or if you have a two car trailer that you are willing to rent, please let me know.

The first and only race that I am looking into is in April.

Thanks,

Shawn

I've never seen one. There's the U-Haul type places that rent singles, and the only other places I've seen are local equipment rental companies that might by luck happen to have a trailer that fits your needs. When driving through farm country I occasionally see bigger flatbed trailers with For Rent signs on them, but they don't always look worthy of a legal highway trip.

Some of the places that sell goosenecks may know of a company or two that will rent out GN's. There was a guy in missoula who for $400-600 would let you use it for a week. Not cheap but worked in a bind

I just posted in the enclosed rental thread that several places around here rent out trailers. I have the price sheet from the biggest one here and they have a 32' gooseneck for $450/week. Way to far from ya but gives ya an idea of what price to expect. I would have to bet that there is somewhere other than Uhaul around ya that rents trailers. Around here almost every town has a major rental place where you can get almost anything you need for hauling stuff. Most of there trailers are almost new. I use them on ocasion because at the price they get for renting and how little I need one I cant justify buying one.

My trailer is just a little too short for you. It's 30' but that includes the Wedge...
