Default Question about towing a Vette...

I'm moving to New Jersey in April and I'm having the hardest time finding someone that will rent a trailer to tow a Vette. I already have a reservation with Penske for a truck, but they will absolutely not rent a trailer to tow a Vette. Now, I could say it's for my Jeep, but if something were to happen I could be in deep. I'm trying to avoid shipping it since I won't have a job when I get there I need to save all the $$ I can. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Justin

my big question would be why?

unless you are trying to tow using a two wheel towing dolly.
you can damage your car using a car hauler like that.

now if it's a full size open trailer that the vette would sit on there should be no issue at all. i would just tell them it's for the jeep. your insurance should cover any damage should you be in a wreck but i would verify that also.
