Disabled Tow Vehicle, Alternatives?
Recently the pickup truck that I tow my TT with was put out of service due to an accident. While my truck was in the body shop I thought I would rent a pickup so I could move around my trailer around to work on it or maybe go on a short trip.
I called Enterprise, Hertz and Budget and all three told me the same thing. They said they do have pickups to rent, but do not allow towing for a non commercial rental.
I then thought of U-Haul, they rent pickups for $19.99 a day plus 59 cents a mile. I thought that would be an alternative if I just needed to move the trailer out of the way for a day or so. They said they do not allow towing for a trailer that requires electric brakes.
So, what happens if I am on vacation out of state and my tow vehicle becomes disabled? Do I just have the trailer towed to a campground until the truck is fixed?
Just wondering what others have experienced or maybe I am missing something.
Thank you and have a great holiday season!
