Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in Virginia
Virginia towing means bridge-tunnel crossings that close to trailers in high wind, long runs up I-81 and I-95, and 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. Virginia requires brakes the driver can control on any trailer weighing 3,000 lbs or more, load included.
- Bridge-tunnels and wind: the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel bars anything being towed once winds reach 40 mph, allows only cars, SUVs, minivans, and some vans and pickups at 50 mph, and closes to all traffic at 60 mph or more. Check the current wind level before you head to the Eastern Shore.
- 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. Virginia requires an emergency chain or cable strong enough to stop and hold the trailer, 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 household goods dry and secure on long runs up I-81 or I-95, and through summer storms.
- 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 Virginia
From farm work to Smith Mountain Lake, deer camp, and Southwest Virginia trail rides, these are the most common reasons Virginia renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.
- Farm and agriculture. Haul hay, feed, fencing, and equipment with a flatbed or utility trailer, and move cattle with a livestock trailer. Agriculture is Virginia’s largest private industry, with about 39,000 farms, and poultry, beef, and dairy are its biggest products.
- Boats and watercraft. Tow a bass boat, pontoon, or jet ski with a boat trailer. Smith Mountain Lake, the second-largest freshwater lake in Virginia, has a launch at the state park on its north shore, where day-use boaters pay a launch fee and overnight guests launch free.
- Hunting season. Haul ATVs, stands, camp gear, and game with a utility trailer. Virginia’s early archery deer season opens in early October, and the general firearms season opens in mid-November in most counties.
- Powersports and off-road. Get ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes to the trailhead with a utility trailer or toy hauler. Spearhead Trails in Southwest Virginia offers more than 400 miles of riding across 7 trail systems.
- Livestock and equestrian. Haul horses and show animals with a horse or gooseneck trailer. The Virginia Horse Center in Lexington has hosted national and international equestrian events for more than 40 years, and many of its events are free to watch.
- Moving and big hauls. Virginia is home to nearly 8.9 million people. Move an apartment, furniture, or a small office with an enclosed or utility trailer. Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval complex in the world, keeps military families moving in and out of Hampton Roads.
- Vehicles and motorsports. Car haulers and dump trailers are the most-listed trailer types on towlos in Virginia. Move a project car, a track car, or a new purchase with an open or enclosed car hauler. Martinsville Speedway, NASCAR’s oldest short track, runs Cup Series weekends each spring and fall.
- Camping. Tow a camper, or a utility trailer full of gear, to one of the 29 Virginia State Parks with camping, which share more than 1,800 campsites. Reservations open 11 months ahead.
- Home, yard, and storm cleanup. Haul mulch, gravel, renovation debris, and downed limbs with a dump or utility trailer. Coastal Virginia is the part of the state most vulnerable to hurricanes, and the season peaks from mid-August to late October.
