Since I'm still thrashing on the car, I don't have the time. So, I figured I'd just rent one. So this morning I called 4 different U-haul stores (and each one several times) and none of them would answer the phone. I understand being busy, but 3+ calls to each of 4 stores and nobody had time to the the phone? I'd love to know what they charge per day and the website doesn't say.... Then I looked up Penske's site and they seem to only rent car trailers with their trucks. You don't seem to be able to just rent a trailer and I don't really need a truck, I think I've got plenty already. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) Maybe I'll just drive the darn thing to Nashville.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) [/venting] If you do get somebody live on the line, they will probably ask what kinda vehicle you are going to be hauling. I think I would tell them an Eclipse or Saturn or something.
