Renting car trailer

[TPI Monte SS]

My only gripe with U-Haul was the company itself. I called them one week before I was scheduled to pick up my '88 SS from the owner on Long Island and made a reservation to pick up a full trailer here in NJ. Well, the day before we were supposed to get the car, they called and said there were no full trailers available, but they could give me a dolly. Hell no! We needed to tow the car across the LIE, over the Throgs Neck Bridge, and then over the George Washington Bridge into NJ. For all the locals, they know these roads are absolute hell and filled with maniacal drivers. There was NO WAY I was gonna put the car on a dolly and have some jackass plow into it.

So, they told me I should try to find something out on LI - wait a minute, if I made a reservation, why do I have to call?? Well, I did the search on my own and found a U-Haul dealer 1 mile from where the car was. I called them up, and they confirmed they actually had a full car trailer on the lot. So, we had to swing by there first and grab it, then get the car. Of course, since it was a one-way tow, I had to pay double! Ah well, hopefully that's the only time my car has to be on a trailer.
