“Renting this trailer was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I used it to tow a 1970 Cadillac DeVille…no small task given the size and weight of that classic, and the trailer handled the large vehicle exceptionally well. It pulled smoothly and felt completely stable the entire drive. The trailer itself was in great shape, very clean, and clearly well-maintained. On top of that, the owner was incredibly communicative, accommodating, and made the pickup and drop-off process totally seamless. I highly recommend renting from them if you need a reliable setup.”

Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in Tennessee

Tennessee towing means long interstate runs, steep plateau grades, and 2 time zones. 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. Tennessee requires brakes on all wheels of trailers weighing 3,000 lbs or more, plus breakaway brakes that apply automatically.
  • Long interstate runs: Tennessee has more miles of I-40 than any other state, about 455 from Memphis to the North Carolina line. On a cross-state haul, recheck straps, tire pressure, and lights at every fuel stop.
  • Plateau grades: I-24 climbs and descends Monteagle Mountain between Nashville and Chattanooga on a long, steep grade. Leave headroom below your tow rating, and use a lower gear on the way down so your brakes stay cool.
  • 2 time zones: the line between Eastern and Central time runs through the state, so I-40 changes time between Nashville and Knoxville, and I-24 changes between Nashville and Chattanooga. Confirm pickup and return times in the Host’s local time.
  • 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. Tennessee requires safety chains on bumper-pull trailers, 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 cargo dry in a state that averages about 52 inches of rain a year, and out of sight at overnight stops.
  • 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 Tennessee

Trailer rental in Tennessee Trailer rental in Tennessee

From West Tennessee duck blinds to Kentucky Lake, Mule Day, and the Ocoee, these are the most common reasons Tennessee renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.

  • Farm and hay hauling. Move round bales, feed, fencing, and farm equipment with a flatbed, gooseneck, or utility trailer. Tennessee has about 63,000 farms, and hay and forage cover more than 1.5 million acres, second only to soybeans.
  • Livestock and equestrian. Haul cattle, horses, and mules with a livestock, horse, or gooseneck trailer. Tennessee farms keep about 1.6 million cattle and calves, and Mule Day, which dates to the 1840s, brings mule shows and a parade to Columbia each April.
  • Boats and watercraft. Tow a bass boat, pontoon, or jet ski with a boat or dual-purpose utility trailer. Kentucky Lake, the largest reservoir in the eastern U.S., stretches 184 miles across Tennessee and Kentucky with more than 2,000 miles of shoreline.
  • Duck hunting. Haul a duck boat, decoys, and blind gear with a boat or utility trailer. Tennessee’s duck season opens in late November and runs through January, and up to 750,000 waterfowl can winter on Reelfoot Lake, which was formed by the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811 and 1812.
  • Paddling and whitewater. Haul kayaks, canoes, and rafts with a utility trailer. The Ocoee River in southeast Tennessee hosted the first Olympic whitewater event ever held on a natural river, at the 1996 Games.
  • Camping and state parks. Bring camping gear, coolers, and bikes with a utility or enclosed trailer. Tennessee State Parks run 36 campgrounds and charge no entrance fee.
  • Moving and big hauls. Tennessee is home to about 7.3 million people and has grown almost 6% since 2020. Move an apartment, furniture, or a small office with an enclosed or utility trailer.
  • Vehicles and motorsports. Car haulers are the most-listed trailer type on towlos in Tennessee, with utility trailers close behind. Move a project car, a track car, or a new purchase with an open or enclosed car hauler.
  • Home, yard, and job site. Haul mulch, gravel, and renovation debris with a dump or utility trailer, and move skid steers, mini excavators, and building materials on a flatbed, deckover, or gooseneck trailer. Dump trailers are the third most-listed type on towlos in Tennessee.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent a trailer in Tennessee?
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 Tennessee?
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.
Can I use my out-of-state boat in Tennessee?
Yes. A boat with current registration from another state can use Tennessee waters, as long as Tennessee doesn't become the state where it's used most during the year. Any boat with a motor needs registration, even one with only an electric trolling motor; paddle-only boats don't.
Do I need a boater education card to drive a boat in Tennessee?
Yes, if you were born after January 1, 1989 and the boat has more than 8.5 horsepower. Visitors can use any NASBLA-approved boating safety certificate from their home state, and you have to carry it on the water. You don't need one if an adult born before January 1, 1989 is aboard to take immediate control.
Is there a special speed limit for towing a trailer in Tennessee?
No. Posted limits apply to everyone, up to 70 mph on some interstates. But if you're going 10 mph or more under the limit on a road where passing isn't safe, and 5 or more vehicles are lined up behind you, Tennessee law requires you to pull off where it's safe and let them pass.
What paperwork do I need to bring horses into Tennessee?
Each horse needs a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (valid for 30 days) or an Equine Interstate Event Permit, plus a negative Coggins (EIA) test from the last 12 months. Foals under 6 months traveling with their EIA-negative mother don't need the test.
Can I rent out my own trailer on towlos in Tennessee?
Yes. Listing is free on the Launch plan, you set your own price and availability, and you approve each rental request. Guests upload a photo ID and proof of tow vehicle insurance, and Protect+ is turned on automatically for eligible trailers.
