“Trailer was great. We took it on a 4,500 mile journey We had some circumstantial issues on the road with the trailer. We lost a few lugs (and almost a tire) so we had to pay $800 for a mobilehub / stud repair in UT Separate from that, we hit some highway debris in AZ and broke a fender and some wiring. We came to a quick resolution with the owner on the repairs and he was more than reasonable. Nice trailer. Tough trip. ”

Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in Bakersfield

Bakersfield renters hauling landscaping materials, renovation debris, or equipment should pay close attention to load weight and disposal arrangements. Kern County's landfill rules and the area's hot, dusty conditions can also affect which trailer works best. Run through these before you send a rental request.

  • Size and capacity: match deck length and payload to your biggest item, and leave room to strap it down safely.

  • Weight and brakes: stay within the trailer's rated load and your vehicle's tow rating, and keep tongue weight around 10 to 15 percent of the total. Under California Vehicle Code Section 26302, qualifying trailers manufactured and first registered after January 1, 1966, with a gross weight of 3,000 pounds or more generally require brakes on at least 2 wheels.

  • Landfill fees and materials: Kern County updated its disposal fees effective July 1, 2026. Check the county's current gate-fee schedule and accepted materials before hauling renovation debris, bulky waste, or mixed loads to a disposal facility.

  • Covering loose loads: Kern County disposal facilities assess additional fees for untarped or unsecured loads. Make sure loose debris, branches, and landscaping materials are secured before traveling.

  • Green waste separation: Kern County requires appropriate recycling and separation of organic materials. Keep branches, grass clippings, and other green waste separate from construction debris when required, and confirm the receiving facility accepts your materials.

  • Hitch, chains, and wiring: confirm the ball size (usually 2 inches, or 2-5/16 for heavier trailers), your hitch class, and that the trailer's plug matches your vehicle. Cross the safety chains under the tongue.

  • Ramps and loading: for anything you roll or drive on, check for a ramp gate or low deck height; for tall or awkward loads, check deck width and tie-down points.

  • Open vs. enclosed: open trailers load fast and cost less; enclosed trailers protect cargo from Bakersfield's dust, wind, intense summer sun, and occasional rain.

  • Get your questions answered: check the listing details first, and ask Toby, the towlos virtual assistant, anything else. After you submit a rental request, you can message the Host in towlos Chat to confirm dimensions, hitch, delivery, and anything specific to your load before they approve it.

Common Reasons to Rent a Trailer in Bakersfield

Whether you're transporting farm equipment, moving furniture across Bakersfield, or preparing for an outdoor event at The Park at River Walk, these are the most common reasons Bakersfield renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.

  • Agricultural equipment and supplies. Bakersfield's surrounding agricultural areas create hauling needs for fencing, irrigation supplies, tools, and farm equipment. Utility trailers, flatbeds, and equipment trailers can handle suitable loads when matched to the cargo's weight and dimensions.

  • Home renovations and construction cleanup. Residents completing roofing, flooring, fencing, and remodeling projects can use dump trailers for eligible debris and utility trailers for building supplies. Confirm the receiving facility's waste acceptance rules and applicable disposal fees.

  • Furniture and household moves. Residents relocating between Bakersfield neighborhoods can use enclosed cargo trailers for furniture, appliances, boxes, and household belongings. Utility trailers accommodate larger items that can be safely secured.

  • Landscaping and yard projects. Dump and utility trailers can transport soil, gravel, mulch, plants, branches, and landscaping equipment. Cover loose materials and follow Kern County's green waste separation requirements.

  • Events at The Park at River Walk. Bakersfield's Park at River Walk hosts outdoor concerts, movie nights, and community celebrations at the Dignity Health Amphitheater. Enclosed cargo trailers can help authorized vendors and organizers transport merchandise, displays, and production equipment.

  • Youth sports and tournaments. Bakersfield Sports Village and Mesa Marin Sports Complex host athletic activities and community recreation. Utility trailers can help approved teams transport sporting equipment, tents, and supplies.

  • Community festivals and outdoor celebrations. Bakersfield's parks and recreation programs include seasonal activities and citywide gatherings. Enclosed and utility trailers can support authorized event setups involving tables, decorations, displays, and equipment.

  • Household cleanouts and recycling. Residents clearing garages or replacing furniture may use utility trailers to transport acceptable items to approved donation or disposal destinations. The city's bulky-item collection program also provides an alternative for eligible household items.

  • Contractor machinery and tools. Equipment trailers, flatbeds, and deckovers help transport compact machinery, construction tools, and building materials for residential and commercial jobs. Verify payload limits, ramps, and tie-down equipment.

  • Cars, motorcycles, and project vehicles. Car haulers, tilt-deck trailers, and motorcycle trailers can transport project cars, non-running vehicles, and motorcycles throughout Bakersfield and Kern County. Match trailer capacity and loading equipment to the vehicle.

What kind of hitch do I need?
Most utility trailers use a standard 2" ball hitch. Car haulers and heavier trailers may require a 2-5/16" ball. Check the listing specs and confirm with the owner that your vehicle's hitch class and tow rating are compatible before booking.
What size trailer do I need for a one-bedroom apartment move?

Do towlos hosts offer delivery in the Bakersfield area?
Some do. When searching, look for listings that mention delivery or message the owner directly. Delivery is especially useful if you don't have a truck or hitch set up. Many local hosts are flexible and happy to arrange drop-off for an additional fee.
Can I rent a trailer one-way?
Most towlos rentals are round-trip, you pick up and return the trailer to the same owner. Some owners allow one-way arrangements; contact them directly to ask. If you're relocating, it's worth messaging a few hosts to see who can accommodate.
