Rentals

Short-term lease from a local dealer — typically daily, weekly, or monthly rates. Pick up at the dealer, use it for your project, return it. Insurance, hitch compatibility, and tow vehicle requirements vary — confirm with the dealer before pickup.

Most common rentals: utility trailers, cargo trailers, dump trailers, flatbeds, enclosed carhaulers, and small tow dollies. Specialty rentals (concession, horse, travel trailers) are less common but available in some markets.

Yes — most rental agreements require proof of insurance covering the trailer while in your possession. Your auto policy may extend to rented trailers; check with your carrier. Some dealers sell short-term rental insurance at pickup.

Measure the largest item you plan to haul and add 2-3 feet of clearance. Common sizes range from 5x8 (small motorcycles, yard equipment) to 8.5x40 (car haulers, mobile businesses). Contact any dealer on Trailer Shopper® for a sizing consultation.
