Another alternative: Rent a truck with enough payload for your car, then pay a towing service to do a "load-transfer". Basically, they'll use a roll-back truck to load your car into the U-haul. You'd have to buy your own tie-down straps, with the rear straps going under the door to the bumper. And they need to be vehicle transport straps, not home depot ratchet straps. Then, you can tow the trailer with the U-haul. All of the newer 14'-20' U-hauls have 2" hitch receivers and 7-way wiring.
Never thought of renting a truck to tow and for sure didn't realize that it's possible to transport a vehicle in a rental truck. Seems like that would be a lot of weight, but I guess there are trucks with plenty of hp to do the job.
