About Renting a Car Hauler Trailer in Lakeland

A car hauler is purpose-built for moving vehicles in a way a general-purpose trailer is not. Drive-on ramps or a low beavertail angle let you load cars close to the ground, and the tie-down points are sized for wheel straps or axle straps that secure the vehicle at all four corners rather than running a strap over the body. Many listings also include or accept a winch, which matters when you are loading a non-running project car or a purchase that will not start.

Polk County sits between Tampa and Orlando along I-4, and renters in Lakeland regularly use car haulers to move collector cars, haul a second daily driver across the state, pick up auction or dealership purchases from the Tampa Bay area, and transport vehicles to or from shops for restoration work. Before you pick up, match the trailer's rated capacity to your vehicle's curb weight, confirm the deck length and width clear your wheelbase and track, and check the ramp angle if the car sits low. Secure at four points with wheel or axle straps, use a winch for any non-runner, and verify your tow vehicle is properly rated and equipped with a brake controller. Compare available car haulers near Lakeland and reserve the deck size that fits your vehicle.
