Default Enclosed Trailer rental recommendations IL

Hey guys,
Any recommendations on where to rent a enclosed car trailer to take my ride in for some work? I’m located in western burbs downers grove area. Don’t mind traveling a few miles to get it.

So far I only found a place in Seneca (small mom and pop shop). I’m aware of route 12 rentals but.. looking for others.

Any reputable transport companies? What’s a good price to. pay for ~300 mile one way?

I rented a enclosed trailer from Bridgeview RV about 15 years ago.
In late summer of 2014 a friend rented from Rt12. The trailer was like new at the time.


Average shipping cost per mile is .96, enclosed. This is direct to shipper price, not using a broker who will ad on there fees for booking the load.

Well got the beast loaded and tied down. The front splitter took a beating though... here she is. I’m going to take a test ride tonight and make sure all is good for the trip tomorrow.

Oh yea, one more thing... after loading and turning off, the Nav unit would not shutoff, the map was there for over 10mins... anyone see that before. The battery is original so it may be the culprit

Thanks for the advice

hello

75$ a day. Great people and better than what I found in the suburbs around me. I did not mind driving 50 miles to pick it up.

Nice find for a rental. As far as the nav goes I'd point out that you got out of the vehicle through the top instead of opening the door. The radio/nav doesn't cut out until you open the drivers door.
