Save your car from unnecessary mileage by using a tow dolly that attaches to the back of your rental truck. A car tow dolly lifts the front wheels of your front-wheel-drive vehicle off the ground, making it easy and safe to tow behind your Budget Truck rental. This is a perfect solution for front-wheel-drive cars, helping to avoid extra wear and tear during the trip.
Car & Truck Tow Dolly Rental Dimensions
To use a Budget Truck tow dolly, the width of your vehicle (measured from the outer edge of one front tire to the other) must not be more than 76 inches.
Weight Capacity of the Car Tow Dolly
The tow dolly is built to carry front-wheel-drive vehicles with a weight limit of up to 3,300 lbs.
Important Rental Requirements for a Car Tow Dolly
If you're planning to rent a car tow dolly, here are some key things to keep in mind:
- Only Budget trucks that are 16-foot, 24-foot or 26-foot can tow using a dolly.
- A tow dolly is not the same as a trailer, so it cannot be reversed or backed up.
- Tow dollies must be rented along with a Budget truck, they cannot be rented separately.
- For vehicles with all-wheel drive (AWD) or rear-wheel drive, you’ll need to rent a car carrier or trailer instead of a tow dolly.
For detailed instructions on how to use a tow dolly, you can download the Vehicle Towing Guide. When making a Budget Truck and tow dolly reservation, you can also check if tow dollies are available at your selected pick-up location.
