I need somewhere else in the orlando area that is NOT uhaul. There are no taylor rentals and lowes and places like that dont rent them. Anyone know somewhere else?
 
For one I would like to compare prices, they seem kinda expensive. But they were also hassling me about having to have a 2 ton tow vehicle with a class 2 hitch. I am not putting that much weight back there and I do have a 1/2 ton 4x4 ranger with upgraded brakes and tranny.
 
Just about nobody is going to rent a tow dolly and let you hook it to a 1/2 ton truck for liabilty reasons. You will have to tell them you are towing a VW with no engine or something to rent it. Most places will require at least a 3/4 ton truck with an upgraded hitch to rent a tow dolly. If they rent to you and your hitch doesn't hold up or the wieght pushes you and causes a wreck they can get sued for big $$$$.
I have a 71 chevy 1/2 ton truck that wieghs in at 5000lbs, and with my Nova behind it wieghing 3600lbs, i need close to 1/4 mile between me and anyone in front of me to get stopped, and that is towing it on a trailer with trailer brakes.
