“Brandon and John were ultra professional from setting up the rental all the way through to accepting the return of their equipment at the end of the rental. I returned on Easter Sunday and they were available to accept the return. The equipment was clean, well equipped with everything one might need to move, well maintained and in excellent working order. I will most definitely seek them out for any future equipment rentals. I’d give 10 stars if that were an option.”

Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in North Carolina
North Carolina towing means mountain grades, toll roads that charge by axle, and a long hurricane season on the coast. 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. North Carolina requires brakes the driver can control on any trailer with a gross weight of 4,000 lbs or more.
- Mountain grades: leave headroom below your tow rating for Blue Ridge climbs, and use a lower gear on long descents so your brakes stay cool. Helene repairs still narrow I-40 through the Pigeon River Gorge, so check DriveNC for lane closures before a mountain trip.
- Tolls by axle: on the Triangle and Monroe expressways, tolls are set by axle count: 3 axles pay 2 times the car toll, and 4 or more axles pay 4 times, so a tandem-axle trailer behind a car or pickup can quadruple the toll. NC Quick Pass rates are half what you pay by mailed invoice.
- 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. North Carolina requires safety chains or cables strong enough to hold the trailer when you tow with a ball 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 through summer thunderstorms and the June 1 to November 30 hurricane season.
- 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 North Carolina
From Helene rebuilding in the mountains to farm hauls, Christmas tree season, and coastal boat ramps, these are the most common reasons North Carolina renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.
- Storm cleanup and rebuilding. Haul debris, drywall, downed limbs, and building materials with a dump or utility trailer. Western North Carolina is still rebuilding after Helene, which state estimates say damaged more than 73,000 homes.
- Moving and big hauls. North Carolina is home to about 11.2 million people and has grown about 7% since 2020. Move an apartment, furniture, or a small office with an enclosed or utility trailer.
- Farm and agriculture. Haul hay, feed, equipment, and produce with a flatbed, utility, or dump trailer. North Carolina ranks 1st in the nation in sweet potatoes and tobacco, and 2nd in turkeys.
- Livestock and equestrian. Haul horses, cattle, and show animals with a horse, livestock, or gooseneck trailer. The National Horse Show is now held at Tryon International in Mill Spring, and the NC Mountain State Fair brings thousands of livestock entries to Fletcher each September.
- Boats and watercraft. Tow a boat, jet ski, or pontoon with a boat or dual-purpose utility trailer. The NC Wildlife Resources Commission runs 250 free boating access areas on more than 100 bodies of water.
- Hunting season. Haul ATVs, blinds, and game with a utility trailer. Archery deer season opens statewide in September, and gun season opens region by region, from mid-October in the east to late November in the mountains, and runs through January 1.
- Christmas tree season. Haul fresh-cut trees to a lot, a church sale, or home with a flatbed or utility trailer. North Carolina harvests more than 3 million Christmas trees a year, 2nd in the nation, mostly in Ashe, Avery, Alleghany, Watauga, Jackson, and Mitchell counties.
- Vehicles and motorsports. Car haulers are the most-listed trailer type on towlos in North Carolina. Move a project car, a track car, or a new purchase with an open or enclosed car hauler. North Wilkesboro Speedway is back on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule for the first time since 1996.
- Camping. Bring gear, kayaks, or a small camper with a utility or enclosed trailer. North Carolina has camping at 29 of its 35 state parks, including 481 sites with electric hookups for RVs.
