Match the trailer payload and ATM to the transported vehicle’s weight, and check bed length, width and wheel track against the car. Also confirm your tow vehicle’s braked towing capacity, towbar rating and GCM. If you are unsure, compare listing specifications and ask the owner before booking.

Some owners list car trailers with an electric or manual winch. Check the listing or ask the owner before booking if you need to load a vehicle that cannot be driven.

Many heavier car trailers use electric brakes, which usually need a compatible brake controller in the tow vehicle. Check the listing’s brake details and your vehicle handbook. Some owners offer a portable controller — confirm what is included before you book.

It depends on the listing. Look for a trailer with suitable loading ramps, particularly for low-clearance vehicles. Wheel straps and other tie-downs vary, so check the listing or ask the owner before booking.

Often yes, if the trailer has suitable loading equipment such as a winch, ramps or a tilt deck, and the weights still sit within payload, ATM and your towing limits. Confirm the loading method with the owner before you book. Local Trailer Hire does not verify that a combination is suitable for a non-running vehicle.

No. Local Trailer Hire does not allow one-way hires. Trailers are listed by local owners, so every trailer must be returned to the same pick-up location.
