“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 Ontario

From warehouse deliveries and home renovation projects to convention events, Ontario renters should plan around oversized-vehicle parking rules, truck routes, and inland Southern California weather. 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. California Vehicle Code Section 26302 generally requires brakes on at least 2 wheels for qualifying trailers weighing 3,000 pounds or more, with additional rules for certain trailer types and configurations.

  • Oversized trailer parking: Ontario requires a permit for qualifying oversized vehicles parked on public streets. Under the city's oversized-vehicle permit program, permits cannot exceed 48 hours, and no more than 2 are issued per calendar month. Check whether your trailer qualifies and apply ahead of time.

  • Truck routes and commercial areas: Ontario has designated truck routes serving its industrial and commercial districts. If you're hauling equipment or making deliveries with a larger trailer, review the city's truck route map and check your destination's loading access before traveling.

  • Residential trailer storage: Ontario enforces vehicle and commercial-equipment restrictions on residential properties. Review the city's residential code compliance guidance and any HOA rules before keeping a trailer at home.

  • 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 inland Southern California's dust, wind, and occasional heavy 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 Ontario

Trailer rental in the Ontario area Trailer rental in the Ontario area

From trade shows at the Ontario Convention Center to home improvement projects and local business deliveries, these are the most common reasons Ontario renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.

  • Trade shows and convention equipment. The Ontario Convention Center hosts conferences, conventions, and trade shows throughout the year. Enclosed cargo trailers and utility trailers can help approved exhibitors transport displays, merchandise, booths, and event equipment, subject to venue loading arrangements.

  • Warehouse and business deliveries. Ontario's industrial and commercial areas generate demand for transporting inventory, machinery, packaging materials, and business supplies. Enclosed trailers protect merchandise, while flatbeds and deckovers can accommodate larger equipment and properly secured materials.

  • Home renovations and landscaping. Ontario homeowners tackling remodeling, yard cleanup, and landscaping projects can use dump trailers for eligible debris and utility trailers for mulch, plants, soil, and building supplies. The city's Integrated Waste Department provides information about municipal collection and disposal services.

  • Moving furniture and household belongings. Residents relocating around Ontario's residential neighborhoods or moving between nearby Inland Empire communities can use enclosed trailers for furniture, boxes, and appliances. Utility trailers work for oversized items that can be safely secured.

  • Fishing and recreation at Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park. Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park features 2 fishing lakes, picnic areas, and group shelters. Utility trailers can help transport event supplies and recreational equipment to permitted unloading areas, but the lakes should not be treated as public motorboat launch facilities.

  • Local art markets and vendor events. Ontario's Art Walk and Museum Night Market has featured local artisan booths and art activities. Enclosed cargo trailers can help approved artists and vendors transport artwork, merchandise, displays, and market equipment.

  • Community festivals and outdoor gatherings. Ontario's Recreation and Community Services Departmentorganizes events and programs at parks and community centers. Utility and enclosed trailers can help authorized organizers transport tables, tents, sports equipment, and event supplies.

  • Construction and contractor equipment. Contractors working on Ontario homes, warehouses, and commercial properties can use equipment trailers, flatbeds, and deckovers to transport compact machinery, scaffolding, tools, and building materials. Check payload ratings, ramps, and tie-down equipment before requesting.

  • Cars, motorcycles, and project vehicles. Car haulers, motorcycle trailers, and tilt-deck trailers help transport project vehicles, motorcycles, and non-running cars around Ontario and the Inland Empire. Match the vehicle's weight, dimensions, and loading requirements to the trailer.

  • Regional outdoor recreation and camping trips. Ontario's location near regional parks and mountain recreation areas makes utility trailers useful for transporting camping equipment, bicycles, and outdoor supplies. Check destination access, road restrictions, and current weather before towing recreational equipment.

How do I book a trailer on towlos?

Do I need additional insurance to rent a trailer?
Requirements vary by owner. Some carry their own coverage; others ask renters to show proof of auto insurance. Check the listing details or message the owner before booking. Towlos Protect+ covers damage to the trailer, but your auto policy may be needed for liability.
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?
A 6×10 or 6×12 open utility trailer handles most one-bedroom moves, furniture, boxes, and appliances. If you have bulky items or a large couch, consider a 7×14 or larger. When in doubt, size up, it's easier to have extra space than to make two trips.
Do towlos hosts offer delivery in the Ontario 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.
