Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in Jacksonville

Jacksonville towing means river ramps, big bridges over the St. Johns, 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 trailers over 3,000 lbs gross.
  • 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 or cables, so cross them under the tongue.
  • Tolls and express lanes: Florida bars vehicles with 3 or more axles from express lanes unless signs allow them, and a car towing a single-axle trailer counts as 3. First Coast Expressway tolls also double at 3 axles.
  • Saltwater care: rinse a boat trailer with fresh water after every saltwater launch, and check the lights and wheel bearings.
  • 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.
  • Hurricane season: Duval County has 6 evacuation zones, and mobile homes are always Zone A, so book early if you'll need to move a boat or belongings.
  • 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 Jacksonville

Trailer rental in the Jacksonville area Trailer rental in the Jacksonville area

From St. Johns River launches to Navy moves, beach days, and fall fair season, these are the most common reasons Jacksonville renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.

  • Boats and watercraft. Tow a boat, jet ski, or kayak with a boat or dual-purpose utility trailer. Jacksonville runs 39 public ramps, most of them free, including the 6-lane Mayport ramp near the inlet. The downtown St. Johns Marina ramp is closed until about 2028, so use the Arlington ramps instead.
  • Military moves. Naval Station Mayport, the Navy's third-largest fleet concentration area, plus NAS Jacksonville and Kings Bay just north, keep PCS moves steady. Enclosed and utility trailers handle personally procured moves.
  • Fishing and hunting. Haul kayaks, coolers, and tackle for redfish (open all year in the Northeast region), or take a utility trailer to deer camp when Zone C general gun season runs from early November into late January.
  • Beach days. Haul fishing gear, kayaks, and beach setups to Huguenot Memorial Park, where you can drive onto the sand (4WD is highly recommended in the soft sand).
  • Moving and big hauls. Jacksonville passed 1 million residents, and St. Johns County has grown about 27% since 2020. Move an apartment, furniture, or a small office with an enclosed or utility trailer.
  • Livestock and equestrian. Haul horses and show animals with a horse or stock trailer. The Jacksonville Equestrian Center has more than 400 stalls and 60 RV sites, and the Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair moved to its new fairgrounds next door in 2026.
  • Vehicles and motorsports. Move a car, motorcycle, or race car with an open or enclosed car hauler for the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance each March or the Daytona 500 each February.
  • Storm prep and cleanup. Move valuables out of flood zones or clear debris after a storm with a dump, utility, or enclosed trailer. Hurricane Irma pushed a record storm surge of more than 5.5 feet up the St. Johns in 2017.
  • Construction and heavy equipment. Move skid steers, mini excavators, and building materials with a flatbed, deckover, or gooseneck trailer built for heavy, oversized loads.
  • Vending, events, and mobile business. Concession, display, and cargo trailers turn into food stands, pop-up shops, and mobile workspaces for festivals, markets, and job sites. Food trailers need a Florida DBPR mobile food vehicle license.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent a trailer in Jacksonville?
Daily rates on towlos typically range from $35 to $120 depending on trailer type and size. Utility trailers are the most affordable; enclosed, dump, and specialty trailers cost more. Prices are set by individual owners, and many offer weekly or multi-day discounts.
How do I book a trailer on towlos?
Search by location and dates, browse available trailers, and submit a booking request. The owner confirms availability and payment is processed securely. You'll receive pickup details once confirmed, most rentals are locked in within an hour.
Is damage insurance provided on towlos?
Yes. Every booking on towlos with an eligible trailer is backed by towlos Protect+, which provides coverage for physical damage to the trailer during your rental. Coverage details and limits are shown on the booking page. Review the towlos Insurance page if you have questions about what's included.
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 Jacksonville 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.
