Need a car rental with hitch for moving, hauling, or hitting the outdoors? At Mr. Rent A Car, we’ve got you covered. Whether it’s towing trailers, hauling bikes, or taking camping gear, our hitch-equipped rental options offer versatility and convenience—without the need for a truck.

Car Rental With Hitch Options & Availability

Hitch-equipped vehicles: We offer select SUVs and vans with factory-installed or dealer-installed tow hitches. These are available primarily by request and depend on current fleet inventory.

Trailer rentals: At select locations, you can rent trailers—such as cargo or utility trailers—that couple directly to our hitch rentals. Availability is seasonal and based on demand.

Add-on services: Tow wiring kits, hitch locks, and wiring adapters may be available upon request to ensure safe and secure towing.

To reserve a hitch-equipped vehicle or trailer, simply select the appropriate options during online booking or let our team know when you call us. Inventory is subject to availability.

Vehicle Types & Tow Capacity

Here’s a quick overview of the common vehicle classes and their typical towing capabilities:

  • Compact SUVs (e.g., Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson): Tow up to 1,500 lb—ideal for bike racks or cargo trailers.
  • Mid-size SUVs (e.g., Toyota Highlander, Ford Edge): Tow up to 3,500 lb—great for small campers or utility trailers.
  • Full-size vans (e.g., Dodge Grand Caravan, Ford Transit Connect): Tow up to 3,500 lb or more—capable of hauling larger loads.
  • Pickup alternatives: While we don’t offer pickup trucks, certain vans and SUVs fill that role for moderate towing needs.

Tow capacity depends on the specific model and manufacturer. We help you confirm exact specs when you reserve.

Booking Steps for a Hitch Rental

Here’s the step-by-step process to secure your hitch-equipped vehicle:

1. Book online or call our branch and request the vehicle with a towing hitch.

2. Specify your needs—trailer size, estimated towing weight, and any electrical/towing accessories needed.

3. Confirm tow capacity and licensing—we’ll verify your qualification to tow based on our vehicle specs and licensing rules.

4. Pick up and inspect—our team walks you through hook-up points, wiring, weight limits, and safety protocols.

5. Haul, tow, and return—drop off the vehicle and any rented trailers or accessories on your return date.

Safety & Licensing Requirements

  • Driver qualifications: You must hold a valid driver’s license for the vehicle class and towing destination. Some longer trailers may require higher-class licensing.
  • Towing safety: We ensure vehicles meet legal standards for trailer brakes, wiring, reflectors, and load securement.
  • Insurance coverage: Our collision/loss damage waiver (CDW) and third-party liability (TPL) cover standard towing—check your policy at booking.
  • Mileage and weight limits: Drivers are responsible for towing within legal weight limits. Additional mileage charges may apply if usage exceeds your rental agreement.

Use Cases & Customer Tips

  • Weekend camping: Tow a small travel trailer, pack bikes or kayaks, and explore scenic BC or Alberta parks.
  • DIY moves: Use a utility trailer to transport furniture, equipment, or garden supplies without renting a truck.
  • Outdoor sports: Haul snowmobiles, mountain bikes, or ATVs for an active weekend trip.
  • Event logistics: Tow gear, tables, or trade-show materials to events with ease.

Top Tips from our team:

  • Estimate your towing weight accurately—always stay under the vehicle’s tow rating including hitch weight.
  • Distribute loads evenly across your trailer floor and secure them firmly.
  • Check wiring and brakes before leaving, and test tail lights and signal lights.
  • Drive cautiously—allow more braking distance, and avoid sharp turns or sudden maneuvers.

Why Customers Choose Us for Hitch Rentals

  • Specialized support: Not just an airport franchise—we provide hands-on assistance from real staff.
  • Transparent pricing: Hitch adds a flat fee or daily rate—no surprises at drop-off.
  • Versatile fleet: From SUVs to vans, select the size and capability you need.
  • Seasonal availability: We stock hitch-ready vehicles especially in camping and moving seasons.
  • Multiple locations: For convenience from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and beyond.

Alternatives & Considerations

-> Pickup trucks: Want a full-size pickup? We recommend U-Haul or other local truck rental providers—typed-hitch SUVs/vans fill the gap for most users.

-> Trailer rentals only: Don’t need a vehicle? You can rent a trailer independently and attach it to your own car or borrow a hitch.

-> Tow bars or platform racks: Ask about bike racks or load bars if you only need to carry small non-trailer items.

  • Tow equipment, trailers, campers, and more without owning a truck
  • Get full support—from choosing the right vehicle to hooking up
  • Enjoy all-inclusive service, transparent pricing, and professional guidance

If you’re planning a trip, move, or outdoor adventure that requires towing, catch your vehicle hooked up and ready. Book early for hitch vehicles and trailers, especially during spring, summer, and holiday weekends. Reach out if you’d like help choosing the right setup!
