Default Best option to tow 2 cars to Miami

Hello everyone,

I am moving to Miami in the next 2 weeks and I need help finding the best option for towing my cars.

I will be renting a uhaul for my furniture and also have two cars.

One car definitely needs to be towed the whole way but the other can be driven.

So as of right now, the plan is:

rent a uhaul and a trailer
put one car on the trailer and have a friend drive the other

But I am looking at options to possibly tow both cars together.


Any suggestions?


Looking for all types of ideas and also trying to spend as little as possible on towing/gas etc...



Thanks,

T

Do as you thought, make sure your friend doesnt get stupid with your car unless the car is a big deal. Transporting your car that distance will cost you a lil something. I just had a car transported a 700miles and cost me $450, imagine your quote....

It was 4 of us:

2 drove my gs300

2 drove the 14 foot uhaul with a flatbed trailer and my talon on it.

The uhaul drank gas like crazy tho!!!!!!!

Made it here in one piece, that's what matters.
