yes prolly best to hire such a thing
from my experience with my tandem basically lending out is a no no
they usually come back bent n damaged as ppl don't realise how big a car trailer is
then you are left to fix their fook up
I don't lend out my trailers usually unless I know the mate well and know they can drive with a trailer
harsh you may say but when these thing can cost over 4k lending out to a stranger basically not going to happen
$150 is cheap or do a deal with a towie driver.. cash is king 😉

A friend of mine borrowed my tandem trailer, and blew all the lights....his truck was 24v. He made good the damage, though.
Now all the lights are LEDs, and cope with any voltage.👍

Yeah, the hire trailers are bloody big and heavy because of all the reasons h said. I did a short stint at a hire place... their trailer weighed just under 1 tonne! Most people who hired it would have towed illegally overweight when they put a car on.
If it is just a body you could be better getting a removalist truck on hourly hire. $35hr from europcar. You could even put it on the back of a flat tray ute with some overhang. If you're adventurous you could do what I did with a floorpan. Buy a couple of lengths of solid timber. Tie them or u bolt them across a box trailer, then tie the body down to the timber. If you can do it in under 2 hours bunnings will even give you the trailer for nothing to get your timber home 😉

I thought about buying a car trailer but want less weight. As long as its wide enough and long enough to carry a kombi thats all I'd want. It can overhang at the back and front a little (I'd do one with no high lips front and rear so it would sit further forward).
The regular towing guy I use charges $60 for a local tow, about $90+ from the other side of town, he just has a trailer behind a falcon.
Not sure how exxy it would be to have one built, probably more than a ready made one. I don't have the welding ability to make one. Would love a dolly type that just supports the front wheels and the back rolls but apparently only registered cars can be towed on a dolly trailer.
