Renters book trailers across Texas on towlos every month. Here's what a few of the closest ones to San Antonio had to say.

★★★★★ October 2026

“Excellent trailer! Excellent host! Trailer was/is literally brand new! Tie downs everywhere. Perfect for Motorcycles, but I moved a Kind bed and the extra roof space came in extreme handy! Also, I liked that the wheel wells were on the outside. It make it easier to pack in everything tight. Now that's the details on the trailer, but when renting, you want a great host too. Blain is an excellent communicator. He made it easy to meet and he walked through all the details with me. He was always easy to reach and that goes a long ways. I would absolutely recommend renting from Blain! ”

Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in San Antonio

San Antonio towing means summer heat, Hill Country hills, and roads that can flood in minutes. 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.
  • Low-water crossings: never tow into a flooded crossing. Many Texas flood deaths happen at low-water crossings, and a trailer makes it harder to back out.
  • Heat and tires: check tire pressure before you leave, ideally in the cool of the morning, since summer pavement is hard on trailer tires.
  • 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 sudden storms, dust, and sun off furniture and gear.
  • 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 San Antonio

Trailer rental in the San Antonio area

From the Stock Show to river weekends, deer season, and military moves, these are the most common reasons San Antonio renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.

  • Livestock and equestrian. Haul cattle, horses, and show animals with a stock, horse, or gooseneck trailer. The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo runs about 18 days each February at Frost Bank Center and draws more than 1.5 million visitors.
  • Military moves. Joint Base San Antonio has about 70,000 active members across Fort Sam Houston, Lackland, Randolph, and Camp Bullis, which is why the city calls itself Military City USA. PCS season peaks from mid-May to mid-September, so book enclosed and utility trailers early.
  • Hunting and the ranch. Haul feeders, blinds, and ATVs to the lease with a utility or flatbed trailer. General deer season runs from early November into January, and Hill Country exotic game hunting extends the season.
  • Rivers and lakes. Tow a boat, kayaks, or tubes and coolers with a boat or utility trailer. Canyon Lake ramps are cashless, and New Braunfels limits coolers on the Comal and Guadalupe to 30 quarts with no disposable containers.
  • Moving and big hauls. San Antonio passed 1.5 million residents, and Comal County has grown nearly 30% since 2020. Move an apartment, furniture, or a small office with an enclosed or utility trailer. UT San Antonio moves in each August.
  • Home and yard projects. Haul mulch, rock, brush, and renovation debris with a dump or utility trailer. The city's bulky waste drop-off centers are free for residents, and untarped loads at the brush center pay a penalty.
  • Fiesta and events. Concession, display, and cargo trailers turn into food stands and pop-up shops for Fiesta San Antonio each April, Tejano and conjunto festivals, and Spurs game nights.
  • Vehicles and motorsports. Move a car, motorcycle, or race car with an open or enclosed car hauler, whether it's Hill Country car shows or race weekends at Circuit of the Americas near Austin.
  • Construction and heavy equipment. Move skid steers, mini excavators, and building materials with a flatbed, deckover, or gooseneck trailer built for heavy, oversized loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 San Antonio 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.
