    Rent a fullsize cargo van. In particular one of those new Dodge vans with the high roof. Shop around and you'll find your unlimited miles I'm sure.

    if you put a hitch on your car and rent a trailer. that will add up to the same as renting a full size van

    Ask around. Last time I was at Shannonville there were a couple guys from Quebec that do it all the time to get to Ontario tracks. Had an F4 in their regular full size cargo van, and told me they rent them unlimited miles. Just start calling Budget, Uhaul, Discount etc.

    PM rogue_wolf since he does a lot of bike pickup/dropoffs ...

    And if your going to rent a vehicle .. make sure the rental company knows you plan to take it to the US. Most of them dont allow it ..

    If your really stuck .. let me know ... i might be able to help you out.

    If you're renting, make sure that the vehicle is allowed to cross the border.

    You can rent a hitch and trailer from Uhaul, but you have to tow with your car. They will install and remove the hitch for you.

    Check out travelocity.ca my understanding is the Hertz will rent out Mini-Vans and allow you to cross the border without a surcharge + Unlimited Kms.
