..This post had me curious, so I just checked - The VW beetle for 2013 is front wheel drive, NOT rear wheel. Just as they've been ever since Volkswagen first started building the modern version of the beetle in the 90s. You won't get a rear wheel drive beetle without going waaay back to the classic, old beetles.
I believe the OP just assumed it was rear wheel, since the old ones from way back when were that way. :)
Anyway, I'd have them check the owner's manual on the Beetle and see what it says, but I'm pretty sure you're not going to flat tow one of the new beetles, unless it has the manual transmission. Dolly is a definite possibility since its front wheel drive, but again, need to check owner's manual for it to be sure.
