Danie asked:
Ok so we have a 2004 Kia Optima FWD that we either must drive or haul with us from the great state of Idaho to the other great state of Vermont. Also taking with us, a queen size bed (no headboard just frame) a couple of small dressers (3 and 2 drawer) a medium sized entertainment center and large box TV, small curio cabinet, 2 gliding rocker chairs w/ stools, plastic chairs, plants, kitchen appliances and dishes, clothing, etc. So all of these items could easily fit into a small apartment right? Ok so that gives you an idea of the size of truck we’d need to rent. UHaul is asking about $1200 plus another $200 for a tow dolly for the Kia. Penske is a bit lower but apparently get worse gas mileage. I also have four cats. I’m already getting rid of my couches, coffee table, washer/dryer, etc. There has got to be some way to do this. We though of trading in my car for a truck which could haul a small uhaul behind it and that would be ALOT cheaper than driving a larger UHaul across country. Please help, sincerely, John & Danielle

As for the car, I would guess most, if not all, companies that rent trucks and cars rent the car trailer (for either 2 or 4 wheels. You can use the following link to try and get that from other companies:…
If you can’t find anyone to rent from, use a car carrier (or auto transporters, same thing). These are companies that will ship your car anywhere, normally door-to-door service. Here is a link for those:-…
As for your pets, if you’re renting a truck, DO NOT put any of them at the back of the truck. It gets extremely hot or cold in there, depends on the weather. You could seriously injure or kill your pets that way. Use a pet mover (find listings in the link below) or transport them somehow in the cab or in a well ventilated, yet safe and comfortable, car:
