Phillip,
I found that most companies don't like to rent a car hauler unless you are
renting a truck too.  Some charge a huge price and others simply won't do
it.  I ran into the problem some years ago and ended up buying a trailer for
very little over the rental price.  I planned to sell it at the next
destination which would net a cost much lower than the rental.  That was 15
years ago and we still have the trailer.  It has been a godsend many times
both for our family and friends.  Recommend you consider purchasing a new or
used one.  You always have the option to sell it later.  Seems to always be
a market for them.  If you do buy used, check the tires and welds closely
and plan on repacking the bearings.
Good luck,
Pete

I am getting ready to move my 76 Spitfire from Alabama to Florida and need
some advice.  I want to trailer it down on a car trailer and not a dolly.
Have any of you had any luck with the rental companies like Uhaul?  If I
was further along on the car I would have liked to just drive it but don't
think that is a good idea just yet.  Thanks for your help.

Phillip
76 Spitfire
