uhaul.
99' turbo zx2- in pieces in the storage unit
91' dodge stealth RT/TT slowly building
00' SVTcontour- old DD now getting turbo'd
96' f-350 quad cab dually 7.3L turbo diesel
Get AAA GOLD and then call a tow truck. Best way to do it if the car is close enough to you.
You can rent tow dolleys from U-Haul and the other companies.
If none of those will work for you I have a tow bar. Take off the fon't bumper and drill the monting holes in the front and bolt the tow bar to the car. It works good and thats how I towed mine home.

i rented a uhaul one. the damned thing was 1" too narrow, so i wasted like $500 on the trailer rental and a weekend of driving around w/ an empty trailer for nothing.
i'm also against the 2 wheeler things cuz it's been lowered and i'm afraid of dragging the back end while the front is in the air.

HOw far do you have to go with it?
What kind of truck are you using to tow it with?
I'd be pissed about renting the UHual trailer and would of asked for my money back. They usually ask what kind of car you are towing and what you are towing with so they check for info on the car and such.
Some before pics for comparison purposes.
This is how I got the car home just over a year ago. Long tow from Mass to Ohio.

I couldn't rent a U-hual or anything like it since they wouldn't let me tow with a Ford Explorerso I had to make due. It wasn't a short trip either. I think one way it way around a 19hr trip and we made it there and back in two days.

they told me that the car would fit, but this car doesn't. it's got a bunch of body work on it that makes it too wide for the trailer. i really don't want to do the tow dolly or tow bar. so if anyone knows where i can get a real trailer, let me know

Forget about the trailer.
If the car is within 100 miles of your house then Call AAA and order a AAA plus membership. It costs about 92 bucks. Then wait a couple days and have them tow your car home.
