Does anyone know any companies that do car trailer hire? There is something among this forum that has caught my eye yet I have no way of getting it home.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've used this company before to hire a bike trailer, they're nice people to deal with and reasonably priced.

Toby,
May I sound a small note of caution here. If you are contemplating towing a Xantia on a trailer with a Xantia then my advice is don't. With the unladen weight of the trailer plus the weight of the car on it, you will comfortably exceed 100% of the kerbweight of the towcar. Not recommended.
For us caravan tuggers, the recommendation is to never exceed 85%. You can go a bit over if you're an experienced tugger and even up to near 100% if you are on a short run and keep the speed well down but never to exceed 100%.
The tail can start to wag the dog with nasty consequences. Bikers used to call 'em "Tank Slappers". Caravanners call 'em "Snakes". All I know is they usually end in tears... Often with the towcar flipped.
Sorry to go all nanny. I've had a caravan start to snake on me and it's not nice.
