    probably uhaul would be your best bet. Most rental companies don't allow towing with their vehicles for liability purposes.

    It may be cheaper to install a hitch on your car than to rent a car with one on it.

    If you want to move your bike yourself rent a Uhaul truck for $20 and throw the bike in the bed with $20 worth of straps from Crappy T

    A small class hitch is not that expensive. I would look into the cost of getting one. Then you can use it to move all your stuff when the wife kicks you out for loving your bike more then her. LOL

    You could always ask infernobuster for a quote - his rates are reasonable.

    I just recently bought a hitch for my car - found a used class II hitch on www.buysell.com that is in great shape and included the insert, the ball, and all mounting hardware. I bought the wiring and plug at princess auto. Now, when I need to, I can rent a trailer from u-haul for $19.95.

    Sorry, I don't have a ramp to lend you.

    I had a class III hitch put on my van for less than $200. It's alot cheaper than renting a vehicle, and then you've always got it.

    +1 on Infernobuster. He's probably cheaper than renting a uhaul and you don't have any of the hassle of picking up the truck, driving the bike up the ramp, strapping it, etc.
