Check your vehicle's curb weight. For vehicles under 5,000 lbs (most sedans, coupes, compact SUVs), our 18' or 20' Standard trailers work perfectly. For vehicles over 5,000 lbs (full-size trucks, large SUVs, heavy sports cars), use our 20' Heavy Duty trailer with 6,760 lb capacity. Not sure? Call us with your vehicle's make and model - we'll recommend the right trailer.

Everything you need is included at no extra charge: heavy-duty loading ramps, 4 professional ratchet tie-down straps, and a mounted spare tire. We also provide a walkthrough on proper loading and tie-down techniques. You just need a tow vehicle with a 2" ball hitch and 7-way electrical plug.

Absolutely! Our car haulers are perfect for non-running vehicles. Use the included ramps and push the vehicle up (it's easier than you think), use a come-along or winch, or use wheel dollies for stuck wheels. Many customers rent specifically for picking up project cars, auction purchases, or vehicles that need to go to the mechanic.

Your tow vehicle needs sufficient towing capacity for the trailer plus your vehicle's weight. For most car-hauling situations, a half-ton truck (F-150, Silverado 1500, Ram 1500) works fine. For heavy loads approaching 6,000+ lbs total, a 3/4 ton truck is better. You'll need a 2" ball hitch and 7-way electrical plug.

Our rentals are round-trip from our Martinez location. However, for long-distance moves or special circumstances, call us to discuss options. Many customers use our trailers for trips to Sacramento, the Bay Area, or even Southern California and return the same day or next day.

Use all 4 included ratchet straps - one over each tire. Loop the strap over the tire (not around suspension or frame), hook to the trailer's tie-down points, and ratchet tight. The tire should compress slightly when properly secured. We demonstrate this technique at pickup and can answer any questions.

Yes! Our car haulers work great for ATVs, UTVs, side-by-sides, and motorcycles. You can fit 2-3 ATVs or one full-size side-by-side. Use the included straps to secure them. For motorcycles, we recommend using a wheel chock (bring your own) in addition to straps.

Yes! Same-day rentals are available based on trailer availability. Car haulers are popular, especially on weekends when people are picking up vehicles from private sales. For guaranteed availability, we recommend booking at least a day ahead. Call (925) 369-5910 to check current availability.

Our 20' trailers accommodate most vehicles including full-size trucks and SUVs. The deck width handles dual rear wheel trucks. For especially long vehicles (extended cab long bed trucks, limousines), call us with dimensions and we'll confirm fitment. In rare cases, our 24' deckover trailer might be a better option.

Yes to both! For lifted trucks, you'll have more room under the chassis - no issues. For lowered or low-clearance vehicles (sports cars, lowriders), approach the ramps at an angle to avoid scraping. Take it slow and have a spotter watch the underside. Our ramps have a gradual incline that works for most vehicles.

No. It's illegal and dangerous to have anyone in the vehicle being towed. All passengers must ride in the tow vehicle. Also, make sure nothing loose is inside the towed vehicle - items can shift during transport.

A tow dolly only lifts the front wheels - the rear wheels roll on the road. Our car haulers are full flatbed trailers that carry the entire vehicle. Flatbed trailers are better for: AWD/4WD vehicles (dollies can damage the drivetrain), non-running vehicles, long distances (less wear on rear tires), and valuable vehicles you want fully protected.
