Get the Necessary Paperwork for Trailer Rental

A trailer rental typically requires a driver's license, the tow vehicle's registration, and vehicle insurance information. Gather up all of this information before you visit the trailer dealership. If you will be going out-of-state, there may be additional paperwork that you will need to fill out.

Know Your Trailer Rental Budget

Have a price limit in mind before you start looking at trailer rental options. This will help you eliminate models that are outside your budget, which helps narrow the choices and speed up the process.

Figure Out the Trailer Accessory Options

Some trailer rentals may include given accessories, such as a rear ramp or spare tire. Make sure you are clear on which accessories are standard and which ones are an additional fee.

Estimate the Length of Time You'll Need the Trailer Rental

A trailer rental is only for a set amount of time. Think about your given project and set a realistic timeline, which will help you determine the ideal length of time for the trailer rental.

In some cases, you can save money by renting a trailer for a certain length of time. For example, a trailer rental that's for a two day weekend or a seven day week. It can be cheaper to pay for these periods of time, rather than each individual day. Don't forget to ask the trailer dealer if there are any available discounts or promotions that can help you save some money.

Pick the Tow Vehicle

Figure out which tow vehicle you will be using for the trailer rental. It's hitching style and hauling capacity will dictate the types of trailers you can potentially rent.

Factor in the Cargo

Think about the cargo you will be transporting in the trailer. Make sure the trailer rental is wide enough and long enough to accommodate the items or animals you are transporting.

It's also important to consider the features you need from the trailer. If you are transporting your horses, for example, make sure there is enough room for your animals to enjoy a safe and comfortable trip.
