Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in Florida
Florida towing means toll roads, fast interstates, and hurricane season. 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. Florida requires brakes on all wheels of any trailer over 3,000 lbs, plus breakaway brakes that apply automatically and stay on for at least 15 minutes.
- Tolls and express lanes: a trailer’s extra axles add to the toll on Florida’s toll roads. If you use SunPass, add the trailer and its tag to your account, and stay out of the express lanes: trailers aren’t allowed in Florida’s Managed Lanes.
- Speed and lanes: Florida has no separate towing speed limit, so posted limits up to 70 mph apply, and the minimum on a 70 mph interstate is 50 mph. Leave extra following distance, and move out of the far-left lane when faster traffic comes up behind you.
- Hurricane season: hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. Check the forecast before a long tow, and skip the trip when strong winds are forecast, since tall enclosed trailers catch the most wind.
- 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. Florida requires safety chains on trailers towed from a rear hitch, so cross them 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 keep furniture and gear dry in the rainy season, when the peninsula sees showers and storms nearly every day from late May into October.
- 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 Florida
From hurricane cleanup to boat ramps, horse country, and Daytona, these are the most common reasons Florida renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.
- Storm cleanup and yard projects. Dump trailers are the most-listed trailer type on towlos in Florida. Use one to haul downed limbs, soaked drywall, roofing, mulch, and fill, and turn a post-storm cleanup into fewer trips to the county drop-off.
- Boats and watercraft. Florida leads the nation with more than 1 million registered vessels. Tow a bass boat, center console, or jet ski with a boat trailer, and plan Gulf coast trips around bay scallop season, which FWC opens zone by zone each summer from Steinhatchee to Crystal River.
- Moving and big hauls. Florida is home to about 23.5 million people and has grown about 9% since 2020. Move an apartment, furniture, or a small office with an enclosed or utility trailer.
- Livestock and equestrian. Haul horses, cattle, and show animals with a horse, livestock, or gooseneck trailer. Ocala and Marion County are officially the Horse Capital of the World, and the Florida State Fair brings livestock exhibits to Tampa each February.
- Vehicles and motorsports. Car haulers are the second most-listed trailer type on towlos in Florida. Bring a race car, project car, or motorcycles to Daytona International Speedway, which hosts the Rolex 24 in late January, the Daytona 500 each February, and Bike Week in March.
- Powersports and off-road. Get ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes to the trails with a utility trailer or toy hauler. Florida’s national forests have nearly 300 miles of OHV trail, and riding in the Ocala or Apalachicola costs $10 per person for a 3-day pass.
- Camping and beach trips. Haul coolers, kayaks, bikes, and camp gear with a utility or enclosed trailer. Florida has 175 state parks, trails, and historic sites, and you can reserve campsites and cabins through Florida State Parks.
- Hunting season. Haul ATVs, blinds, feeders, and game with a utility trailer or flatbed. Florida sets deer seasons by zone, from archery opening August 1 in Zone A to general gun season running into late February.
- Construction and heavy equipment. Move skid steers, mini excavators, and building materials with a flatbed, deckover, or gooseneck trailer built for heavy, oversized loads.
