Uhaul rental question

[Keith in Mich]

Went to rent a car dolly to be pulled by my 1992 explorer, only to be told that no U hual products are authorized to be pulled by an explorer. has any one else been denied this?

The thing that gets me is I can rent with my Mountaineers with no issue. It is the same truck from a muchanical standpoint! I just don't get this one. Uhaul must be run by some serious pin heads.

I'm right there with ya...

I got denied 13-months ago. I had already bought a snowmobile and needed to go pick it up, then found out I couldn't rent the d**n trailer. I wound up buying a landscape trailer which has been good but I probably wouldn;t have done that if U-Haul didn't make such an arrogant decision. The guy then sold the sled to someone else while I was arranging transport (which is another rather ugly story). We're all a bit too cought up in mitigating risk and avoiding liability than in thinking logically I'm afraid, and its only going to get much, much worse.

Say yours is a Mazda Navajo. That'll work.

This may seem like a dumb question.

I understand that the U-Haul issue is causing issues with many X owners who want/need the convenience of a utility trailer or dolly, so some have resorted to diisguise, or simply telling the rental agent that the vehicle is a Mountie or Navajo. Don't the rental agents check the vehicle registration? They do here in New York.

I Understandthe Reason They Won't Let An X Tow Any Of Their Equipment Is The Bad Press X's Got In The Past With Roll-overs.

Another rental place needs to come out saying they rent to all vehicles. Just think how much money they'd make. U-Haul would be kicking themselves.
