Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in Dallas

Dallas towing means toll roads, spring hail, and the occasional ice storm. 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. Texas requires brakes on trailers over 4,500 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. Texas requires safety chains, so cross them under the tongue.
  • Tolls: NTTA roads like the Dallas North Tollway charge by axle, so a trailer raises your toll. A TollTag costs about half the pay-by-mail rate.
  • 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 furniture and gear from spring hail and sudden storms.
  • Winter ice: bridges and overpasses freeze first, so leave extra following distance and check DriveTexas.org before you tow in winter weather.
  • 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 Dallas

Trailer rental in the Dallas area

From the State Fair to lake days, suburban moves, and game-day tailgates, these are the most common reasons Dallas renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.

  • Home and yard projects. Haul mulch, soil, brush, and renovation debris with a dump or utility trailer. Dallas residents can dump for free at McCommas Bluff landfill and 3 transfer stations with a trailer under 15 feet, and uncovered loads pay a $40 penalty.
  • Moving and big hauls. Collin County added nearly 43,000 residents in a single year, the second-largest gain of any US county, and corporate relocations keep coming. Move an apartment, furniture, or an office with an enclosed or utility trailer. UT Dallas and UNT move in each August.
  • Boats and watercraft. Tow a boat, jet ski, or kayak with a boat or dual-purpose utility trailer. Lewisville Lake has 17 ramps, including 3 free Army Corps ramps, Lake Ray Hubbard sits on the east side, and Lake Texoma has zebra mussels, so clean, drain, and dry your boat after every trip.
  • State Fair and events. The State Fair of Texas runs about 3 weeks each fall at Fair Park, and livestock exhibitors, vendors, and concession operators haul in for the run.
  • Livestock and equestrian. Haul horses, cattle, and show animals with a horse or stock trailer. The Mesquite Championship Rodeo runs every Saturday from June through August, and the State Fair's livestock shows fill Fair Park each fall.
  • Game days and tailgates. SMU's Boulevard draws about 30,000 fans before home games, and plenty of them tow in grill and tailgate trailers.
  • Vehicles and motorsports. Move a car, motorcycle, or race car with an open or enclosed car hauler. Texas Motorplex in Ennis hosts the NHRA FallNationals each October.
  • Powersports and off-road. Get ATVs and dirt bikes to the trails with a utility trailer or toy hauler. Trophy Club Park on Grapevine Lake has ATV and motocross trails with no rentals, so riders haul in.
  • 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 Deep Ellum events, markets, and job sites. Food trailers now get a statewide license from Texas DSHS.

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 Dallas 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.
