Avoid putting extra miles on your car by using a tow dolly that hooks up to your rental truck. A tow dolly lifts the front wheels of a front-wheel-drive car off the road which makes towing behind your Budget Truck safer and easier. It’s a smart choice for front-wheel-drive vehicles because it helps prevent damage and reduces wear while you’re driving to your new place.
Car & Truck Tow Dolly Rental Dimensions
If you’re using a Budget Truck tow dolly, make sure the distance from the outside of one front tire to the outside of the other doesn’t go over 76 inches.
Car Tow Dolly Weight Limit
This tow dolly is made to safely carry front-wheel-drive cars that weigh up to 3,300 pounds.
Important Things to Know Before Renting a Car Tow Dolly
Here are a few key points to keep in mind before you rent a tow dolly:
- Only Budget’s 16-foot, 24-foot and 26-foot trucks can be used with a tow dolly.
- A tow dolly isn’t the same as a trailer, so you can’t reverse or back it up.
- You must rent it with a Budget truck—it’s not available on its own.
- If your car has all-wheel drive (AWD) or rear-wheel drive, you’ll need to use a car carrier or trailer instead.
- For full instructions, you can download the Vehicle Towing Guide. To check if a tow dolly is available, start a reservation with Budget Truck.
