Penske Trailer Rental Options

Can you rent a trailer from Penske? 

Penske® is recognized for business and household moving, but their residential trailer rental options are limited to only car towing equipment.   

Let’s look at what types of car trailers Penske offers and explore a different DIY moving option without the hassle and expense of towing a car. 

Penske car trailer options 

It’s important to know that you must rent a Penske moving truck to haul the towing equipment. Here’s what they offer: 

Tow dolly 

The Penske tow dolly is best for front-wheel-drive vehicles since rear-wheel, four-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles must have their drive shafts disconnected and removed before towing. It has 3-point tie-downs, attached ramps and a weight limit of 4,300 lbs. 

Car carrier 

Car carriers are suitable for towing front-wheel, all-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. They have 3-point tie-downs and ramps that are 84 inches long with a 13.75-degree angle. These can hold up to 4,050 lbs. 

How much does a Penske trailer cost? 

Rates for Penske’s car trailers vary based on moving details, since the towing equipment is only available when using their rental truck.  

The expense of towing a car while moving can add several hundred dollars to the cost of relocating and decrease the rental truck’s gas mileage. You can often get a cheaper move with a DIY solution like U-Pack® that transports belongings and allows you to drive your own vehicle.
