Protect your car from extra mileage by using a tow dolly that connects to the back of your rental truck. A car tow dolly lifts the front wheels of your front-wheel-drive vehicle off the road, making it easy and safe to tow. It’s an ideal option for front-wheel-drive cars, helping you prevent unnecessary wear and tear during your journey.
Car & Truck Tow Dolly Rental Dimensions
To use a Budget Truck tow dolly, your vehicle’s width (measured from the outer edges of the front tires) must not exceed 76 inches.
Weight Capacity of the Tow Dolly
The tow dolly is designed to carry front-wheel-drive vehicles with a maximum weight of 3,300 pounds.
Important Requirements for Renting a Car Tow Dolly
If you’re planning to rent a car tow dolly, here’s what you need to know:
- Only Budget trucks that are 16-foot, 24-foot or 26-foot can be used with a tow dolly.
- A tow dolly is different from a trailer and cannot be reversed or backed up.
- Tow dollies can only be rented along with a Budget truck and cannot be rented on their own.
- If your vehicle has all-wheel drive (AWD) or rear-wheel drive, you’ll need to use a car carrier or trailer instead of a tow dolly.
For step-by-step instructions on using a tow dolly, you can download the Vehicle Towing Guide. When reserving a Budget Truck along with a tow dolly, you can also check if a tow dolly is available at your chosen pick-up location.
