Utah people...Need Your Help, Covered Car Trailer Rental Sought Options

[GTeener]

I need advice from you Utah club members.

My dad has a car he wants picked up from Cedar City but it needs to be trucked.

Does anyone in Salt Lake City (probably where I'd fly into) rent covered car carrying trucks or trailers? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

If so who do you recommend?

Need to do this next weekend.

TIA!

If you are going to go the enclosed truck route, do not tell the rental company you plan to transport a car inside their truck. I mentioned this when moving from Texas to California, and the U-haul(NEVER, EVER rent from them, long story) guy got more than somewhat agitated about it, something about the gasoline in the vehicle, did not do it, did flat trailer instead. Had several offers to buy it, as we spent a lot of time sitting by the side of the road with a broke down rental truck. When does this have to happen? I have a cousin who was a car dealer in Murray(Near SLC) for about 30 years, I have no doubt he would know someone in the auto transport biz.

Thanks for sharing.

It's gotta happen this weekend. My dad called some transporters and he said it is going to be more expensive than he's wants to pay and they won't haul it when he wants it hauled.

So looks like we're back to the haul it ourself on a trailer behind a pull-vehicle. The guy we got the car from in Cedar City happens to be a retired general contractor and he's going to load the car for us onto the tariler and devise a wooden container (side slats) so we can pull the car covered.
