You can try U haul !Budget, Hertz or Penske They may even have one way rental trailers Just my 2 Cents Big AL

I have used a u haul car trailer for my 69 and it works great. fold down fender and tows very nice.

I've found renting a "local use" for a longer period of time has been less expensive than a one-way rental.  Most outfits charge a "relocation fee" on the one-way that can be quite a chunk of change.  Yes you spend a little more on gas dead-heading one way but it usually works out to be less expensive overall.  Get some quotes on both options before signing on the dotted line.

Thanks for the information.

its cheaper to take hell hound or fly back to get the car for the rates for 3 day rentals on trailers. so no one has a trailer i can borrow???

You're welcome to use mine, too, but the side trip to Texas for pick-up/drop off would be a bit of a pain, I'm guessing.

I just used a u-haul for a one way trip from Branson, MO. to Wichita, KS area. I did the drop off and the total cost was $140. As for gas usage. My GMC, while pulling, used 12.2 MPG on the back roads (@65)and 13.7MPG on interstate (@72MPG). ok, now on the return keeping the same speeds and same roads. I averaged 21.2 MPG and that's with a 4X4 truck. Love my truck, and hauling a trailer back would not have paid off for me and my truck. That said gas bill was about $135 for 600 mile round trip. Just to let you know I have paid almost $800 in tow bills for this rebuild...might have gotten a cheap used trailer and then resold it...hind sight!?

I just looked up Grayhound on the web they have a web only price of $136.50 not bad as it most likely would cost you something around that if your drove a trailer one way.  

looks like grayhound (hell hound) is the way i may be going. then driving the car home. need to fix the manifold gaskets first though- not sure if it will handle the trip with the chatter they make.
