Penske® is recognized for business and household moving, but their residential trailer rental options are limited to only car towing equipment. Let’s look at what types of car trailers Penske offers and explore a different DIY moving option without the hassle and expense of towing a car. ![Notepad with text reading "Penske Trailer Rental"](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201%201'%2F%3E) Penske car trailer options It’s important to know that you must [rent a Penske moving truck](http://d8prod.upack.com/articles/penske-truck-rental) to haul the towing equipment. Here’s what they offer: Tow dolly The Penske tow dolly is best for front-wheel-drive vehicles since rear-wheel, four-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles must have their drive shafts disconnected and removed before towing. It has 3-point tie-downs, attached ramps and a weight limit of 4,300 lbs. Car carrier Car carriers are suitable for towing front-wheel, all-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. They have 3-point tie-downs and ramps that are 84 inches long with a 13.75-degree angle. These can hold up to 4,050 lbs. How much does a Penske trailer cost? Rates for Penske’s car trailers vary based on moving details, since the towing equipment is only available when using their rental truck. The [expense of towing a car while moving](http://d8prod.upack.com/articles/im-moving-how-much-will-it-cost-to-tow-my-car) can add several hundred dollars to the cost of relocating and decrease the rental truck’s gas mileage.
