Take Your Vehicle With You.
Car dollies and car carriers are a safe and convenient way to haul your car. Below are some basic safety tips that will help you have a trouble free move.
- Attach your towing device to the rental truck before loading your vehicle.
- Do not use the towed vehicle to haul possesions, pets or people.
- It's difficult to back your rental truck with the towing device attached. Do not attempt it. Severe damage to your towed vehicle and the tow device could result. If you have to back up, remove your vehicle from the towing device and then unhook the towing device from the truck and move them separately.
- Vehicles that sit low to the ground or with air dams, etc. may not have the required clearance to drive up the towing device ramps. Damage to your vehicle may reult, so be sure and check before driving onto the tow device.
- Your vehicle must be centered with the front wheels facing forward on the towing device.
- Never back a vehicle onto a towing device.
