What to compare before you hire
Compare the full price for your dates, including any fees and damage cover, not just the day rate. On TrailerConnect you see the owner's rate, our service fee and optional cover before you pay.
A local owner is often a few minutes away and can be flexible on times. A hire yard has set opening hours and staff on hand.
Owners list everything from small cage trailers to car carriers and specialty trailers. Check the size, weight rating and towing needs on the listing.
Trailers on TrailerConnect go back to the owner. For a one-way move, a hire company with a depot network may suit you better.
