Robert,
I tried to rent a U-Haul trailer to move my 66 Sprite and they wouldn't rent
it to me for that application!
I then measured the inside surface where you drive onto on one of their
trailers and found out why ... it was wider than the track of my Sprite.
: (
Borrowed a friends trailer that was originally made for a Model T ... it
too, was too wide for the Sprite. I was able to put one set of wheels up on
the inside top of the "U" that the tires are supposed to go into and tied my
Sprite down very good so it wouldn't shift and have the wheels go into the
center of the open trailer.
Made it ~ 200 miles without a problem ... that time.
YMMV
I am looking into a flat bed trailer ...

Has anyone had any luck with renting a trailer from Hertz, UHaul, Ryder,
etc. for towing a Midget?
I'm going to need to trailer a Midget for close to 500 miles. I've used
a tow dolly in the past but I wasn't sure how much wear and tear those
put on the differential and other parts of the drivetrain. The regular
sized car transport trailers at UHaul look like they may not work for
the Midget because the tracks where the tires sit are too far apart.
They list the max width from tire to tire but no minimum is listed:

If anyone has rented a trailer that has worked well for this I'd really
appreciate the information.
Thanks,
Robert Weeks
