Please read and help me if you can

We have a Ford explorer and we also have a honda accord. We want to haul our honda by our Ford explorer. The U-Haul place told me that they can't give us a trailor or anything due to law suit reasons. We are driving all the way from California to Louisania and we need to haul that car. Does anyone know of any company that will give us a trailor or something to haul our Honda?

Is it safe to haul the honda using the Ford explorer? We are moving next week too. This really sucks and we can't afford a moving company shipping our car.

Please help

anyone?

know anyone with a jeep or blazer or something? have them pick up the trailer for you. There's an entire thread on U-haul banning explorers and its very agitating.

edit: and yea, its definetally safe.

Is U-Haul the only company in this business? Boycott U-Haul.

We don't know anyone. We do have one friend but he is out of town when we are moving.

This sucks big time! Anyone know of another company that will rent out a trailor? Can we ask for a trailor for our honda and then hitch it to our explorer? Will that work?

The trailer for your Honda would be real small. Too small to put a car on. I'm not sure of any other places that'll rent trailers and allow you to return them at another location. Maybe rent a car and get a trailer that way, or go on a test drive? That's all I can think of besides borrowing someone else's car.

when you returned the trailor they wouldn't care that it is a explorer carring the trailor? Or cheak to see that, that was the car that you used to hitch it?

 

[huskyfan23]

What are they going to do about it?

You can put on Mountineer emblems.
You can pull a trailer with them.
Yeah we all know they are the same but that will be our little secret.

there are other places out there that rent trailers, we have a place in town called flamans, its a farm, agro, trailer place and they rent trailers. i am sure there is something out there.

Ryder and Budget both rent coast to coast car carriers.

If U-haul won't rent equipment for your explorer then stay clear of them. If you act on the sly and rent the trailer with a buddies Bronco and show up in Louisiana with a Explorer they'll do nothing... But, if along the way to Louisania the trailer breaks down what are you going to do? Normally you'd call U-haul and they'd come repair the problem. I wouldn't want to risk it and have them tow you back to their garage and refund your $$ and then let you try and figure something out.

If you DO tow.. when you are on the flat OD is ok to tow in... when you are in hilly country, tow in DRIVE, not OD.

Seriously, that would work. Buy Mountaineer emblems from Ford, take off all the Ford ones, and U-Haul will rent you a trailer. Unfortunately, they're the only company that rents one-way trailers. You know you're a lousy business when you have a monopoly and you're still going bankrupt.

thats funny as hell, they will fall for it, i am sure most people who work at those places dont know anythignb about vehicles anyway

I told u-haul it was a Mazda Navajo, and they hooked it right up no questions asked

There are a ton of companies which specialize in transporting vehicles cross-country. Do a quick internet search and see if that would work for ya. If not, I'd rent the car carrier with someone else's vehicle, and if something happens along the way, just tell 'em you changed plans last minute. It's not like they tell Joe Chevy that he can have the carrier as long as he doesn't use an Explorer. They only mention the Explorer restriction to Explorer owners. As someone who "intended" to use the carrier on a different vehicle, you would have no way of knowing that you couldn't use a different vehicle of your choosing.
