    If you know anyone that does zip car.... Those rates are actually cheaper than most rentals, it includes gas and insurance at $75/day

    Check out Uship.com. Stuff gets hauled cheap on there all the time. You can probably get it to you less than a hundred in an enclosed trailer.

    thats a good idea to try zip car - going to look into it.

    Uhaul was REALLY expensive. 19 bucks a day, but .59 a mile. It is ~500 miles round trip


    I am guessing I can get a truck from enterprise for ~100. Seems like no local enterprises have pick up trucks though. hmm. will give them a call tomorrow.

    FAST GSXR750's offer seems like a pretty good one to me providing that covers gas. I have made the trip to CT/NY border and back to Lancaster, its atleast $80 in gas if not more.

    I think I found a pick up for $70 to rent. That could work too. 80 in gas, 70 to rent and I don't need to bother anyone else.

    I just rented a motorcycle trailer for 6 hours from U-Haul. Cost me 22 dollars. No mileage.

    Home depot....you can rent one of their pick ups for dirt cheap....dont tell them your hauling a bike, just say some stuff you purchased from another Home depot and dropped off at your rental home and now you want to move what is left the materials -lumber to build a deck etc...to the other property local to their area.

    hmm, I will check it out - wonder if they would notice an extra 500 miles on it? ha.



    no, i don't have anything that would tow a trailer. no tow hitches.

    Shop around for cargo vans at regular rent-a-car places. Most give unlimited or huge milage. I raced a whole season between NYC and Loudon using them (I used enterprise). Where are you located?

    I've done Sprinter vans through Ryder before and they work great for a bike or two. Just have to have a makeshift chock. Can't, for the lift of me, remember how much I paid though
