Can anyone suggest a Chicago location for renting a pickup to move a 22-foot travel trailer?

Question

I need to move a 22-foot travel trailer from west central Illinois to central Iowa, a distance of about 300 miles, and I need to rent some sort of vehicle to do it with. I live in Chicago. Can anyone recommend a rental source?

Answer 1

Go Hawkeyes!  I use to live in a small town called Ft. Madison, Iowa.  Just minutes from the Iowa State Penitentiary.

I think you will find just what you're looking for here: http://www.allofillinois.com/Sunshine-Mo...

They have trucks with hitches on them ranging from small to large depending on what your load is.  They're also located in Chicago so location should be convenient.

Otherwise, you may want to contact a Budget or U-haul rental company.    

Answer 2

U-Haul is probably your best bet.  You can get a truck that's large enough to do the job, it'll have a hitch already installed, and they're going to understand when you tell them you're pulling a trailer.  Yeah, you'll be driving a moving truck...
