Title: Tow Vehicle Rental
Post by Donal Crooke on 04/10/12 at 14:18:02

Hi Guys,

Trying to through my list of issues to get the car ready and at Rally New York in 9 days....

New Problem i didnt forsee - getting the car there.

Anyone know anywhere that rents vans / pick up trucks permitted to tow?? I thought it would be simple but Everywhere i ring says no towing.... uhaul is the only place... but i could buy a truck for less....

Any ideas :(

Cheers
Donal

I think you are going to have a tough time. Most rental companies don't want you towing and many don't like when you cross borders.

Sorry - no suggestion for you here.

Donal, I think your best bet is to arrange a private rental from a rally team. Contact me offline if you need some suggestions for contacts.

Thanks All!

Phew - after hours and hours ringing around found a place in Toronto renting pick ups with towing permitted!

Phew - was looking bleak there for a while! thanks!

Donal, be sure that includes into the U.S. I have heard of rentals that prohibit that.
