U-Haul mileage counter ???
 

i need to tow my crx to PA to get tuned in a few weeks, but i have no way to get it there(i refuse to break in my new engine with a 400mile trip on a basemap). im gonna use my bosses astro van and rent a uhaul tow dolly but they want like$450 to bring it to PA but they said its only $49 in state, i was wondering if anybody knows if they use tracking or a mileage counter on tow dollies? i could imagine them having it on the trucks but what about the tow dollies?

Nothing of the sort on a dolly.

For $450, you can BUY a dolly... :'(

yea thats what i said. but you can't beat 49 bucks. well i better reserve it now. now i wonder if my olds delta 88(3800 v6) could tow my crx ^-^ .......i don't wanna chance it and be stuck in PA with 2 cars that don't run

well.. people say they have look outs.. people that log every uhaul tow dolly or truck they see on the road and get paid for it or something like that.. dunno if its just a sccare tactic.. but it worked on me..

lol

ur best bet is to find someone local to u who has one and borrow it..

try posting an add in craigslist..
remember when u rent that dolly u give em ur liscence number and credit card i assume if they find out.. first thing theyre gonna do is rack up ur bill :8

Re: U-Haul mileage counter ???
 

they do have counters, I can vouch for knowing one....
try to borrow one and save some cash ;)

Re: U-Haul mileage counter ???
 

indeed they do have counters, we used one to tow my mothers car from oregon to nebraska when we all moved.. for what we paied we could have bought a damn dolly, but we didnt have any place to put one when we got here so we didnt

Re: U-Haul mileage counter ???
 

---- all that....for one im pretty sure they dont have a counter, for 2 they would never win in court if they tried to charge you for taking it out of town. Ive used them at least 15 times and gone very far and never once had a problem, nor have they had mileage counters, they are usually busted ass trailers that barely have lights lol...think about it, they give you two options, local or one way....one way you take it from store A and leave it at store B.....local you take it from store A and return it to store A....they cant controll what you do with it....just play dumb and say local ;D

Re: U-Haul mileage counter ???
 

some of them do and some of them don`t.
It will be either on the trailer itself or on the center hub of the wheel

Re: U-Haul mileage counter ???
 

i'll be on the safe side. im gonna bring it in the shop and take it apart and see if theres any wheel odometers or tracking. they do look busted up and rikity, i wouldn't waist money to monitor a tow dolly, its not like its got a motor that can be abuses or is no go with so many miles
