We don't tow and just rent or take our C (or ride bikes, or now there's Uber), or we just stay put. For us it really depends on where we are going and what we are doing. Renting just makes sense for us for the handful of times we do it per year...we can get a lot of rentals before we'd even touch the purchase cost of a towable car and the tow setup. There have been a couple of times where we've picked up a car about 20-30 miles away from our ultimate destination, still not a big deal for us.
Here's my blog post about it from last year:
