Truck rental?

Tuna Devil · 08-24-2006, 11:27 AM

Does anyone know where to rent a truck to tow my boat?
I have done it with my jeep the last couple of years but want to use something a little bigger. Went online found nothing, call U-haul and all those other places they said no towing. So what do you know. :?:

quack quack · 08-24-2006, 11:41 AM

Each way or round trip?

Tuna Devil · 08-24-2006, 12:06 PM

Each way.

quack quack · 08-24-2006, 12:09 PM

That sucks

Tuna Devil · 08-24-2006, 12:13 PM

So come on up, visit the family and tow my boat to Fla.

quack quack · 08-24-2006, 12:21 PM

Sure I will be right up

The last truck I rented, because mine was in for service had a tow hitch
I believe it was budget rent a car, I think most car rental agencies rent large SUV's also, most come with hitches installed from the manufacture

Tuna Devil · 08-24-2006, 01:33 PM

But will they let you tow? The last thing I would need is a problem and then have them say I wasn't supposed to be towing. I am calling rentals now.

Thanks,
Dave

No deal. :???:

I have rented a big truck from enterprise... not sure if it had a hitch and allowed to tow though. It wwas an f250 long bed.

Give them a call.

quack quack · 08-24-2006, 03:43 PM

What happend to your buddy that was coming down?

Tuna Devil · 08-24-2006, 03:56 PM

Verado,

No one will let you tow. I tried everywhere. You would think someone in the entire world would rent you a truck to tow a boat, but not the case.

Q,Q,

He is not sure if he can do it now. He is working on it, but I need options. I am not going to be without my boat this winter because I don't golf. :lol: :lol:

I have some other friends who can do it. I just have to get them to commit.

TD I did fail to mention to them that I would be towing

but I also had rental insurance on my policy

Flatsfish B · 08-24-2006, 11:11 PM

What about a Uhaul? I know they alow you to trailer there trailers??

Relentless33 · 08-24-2006, 11:33 PM

That'll work, dismount the trailer and attatch the boat. And be on your way

Tuna Devil · 08-25-2006, 09:37 AM

None of the big carriers allow boat towing. I can look into bootleg trailering. I would be like a gangster. :afro:
