Hi Phillip, I'm in Birmingham, AL and called U-Haul about a car trailer
last spring.  The guy said that U-Haul stopped renting car trailers to
Ford Explorer owners because most of the accidents involved Explorers.
I tried to explain that there are more Explorers on the road and
statistics but it was a corporate mandate.  There are a few guys that
converted flat-bed trailers (like the kind at Home Depot) to car
trailers.  It may cost a few bucks more than renting but you can use it
again.

I did tow my Spitfire from Mobile to Birmingham with the U-Haul dolly
and it worked OK but if I had to do it again, I would use the car
trailer.
