Anyone near NC/Va with a car trailer?

Have you tried an equipment rental dealer? There has to be something besides U haul, might be a little more expensive, but may save you the aggravation.
The local equipment rental place is where I normally rent my trailer from but they sold their old one and the new one hasn't been delivered yet. There trailer was really nice I wish I would have bought it. I pulled a 01 ram home with it.
