Trailer rental

[TreeDee]

Hopefully I chose the right category to ask this question. My husband and I are going to travel from Winnemacca NV to Port Angeles WA to pick some things from his parents. We need to rent a utility trailer.
The question is whether to rent it in NV and drive it back or just rent it Washington? Any advice on this matter is appreciated! Thank you!

One way rentals with U-haul always cost more than renting and returning to the same location.

Plug in your options online and you cab see the price difference.

Thank you all for your advice. We've decided to rent a 10 ft. truck here in Nevada and just drive it back. My Honda CR-V isn't able to carry such a heavy load pulling a trailer. I feeling a bit more comfortable this way such I don't have any experience driving with a trailer.

Unloaded it and sold the trailer-within a week-and actually made money on re-selling it.

I’ve done that but selling in WA when I returned. WA has probably the highest prices on trailers short of Alaska so that would be a tough deal to buy one here and not lose money selling it.
OP do you need larger trailer than Uhaul rents? As that is the cheap obvious choice.
If you need something bigger (you said utility trailer but maybe mean a cargo trailer?) may look at renting it locally so you can return it.
I’m not aware of any other 1 way trailer rentals besides Uhaul.

OC gave you the best advice.

If I was making that trip, I would reserve one near where you need to pick things up. Might be a one way fee but it sure beats pulling an empty trailer all the way there.
