When you buy a car from a private seller in Lubbock or need to move a non-running vehicle to a repair shop, a car hauler trailer lets you handle the transport yourself without paying tow truck rates. You load the vehicle onto the trailer using ramps, secure it with tie-downs, and drive it where it needs to go. Flatland Trailer Rentals keeps car hauler trailers available for short-term and extended rentals, and the equipment is inspected to make sure it is ready for safe transport.

These trailers work for cars, trucks, ATVs, UTVs, motorcycles, and small equipment that fits within the weight and size limits. The trailer deck is reinforced to handle vehicle weight, and the tie-down points are positioned to let you secure the load properly. Rental terms are flexible, and you can keep the trailer for a day, a week, or longer depending on what your project requires around Lubbock.

If you need to haul a vehicle in Lubbock and want a trailer that is built for the job, contact Flatland Trailer Rentals to check availability and set up your rental.

How the Trailer Handles Vehicle Transport

You pick up the car hauler trailer from Flatland Trailer Rentals in Lubbock and drive it to wherever the vehicle is located. The trailer includes loading ramps that you position at the rear, and you drive or push the vehicle onto the deck. Once the vehicle is in place, you use straps or chains to secure it to the tie-down points on the trailer deck. The trailer hitch connects to your towing vehicle, and the lights plug into your vehicle harness to keep brake and turn signals functional.

After the vehicle is loaded and secured, you drive the trailer to your destination, unload the vehicle using the ramps, and return the trailer to the rental location. The trailer is designed to stay level during transport, and the tie-down system holds the vehicle in place without shifting. You will notice that the deck is wide enough to accommodate most passenger cars and light trucks without rubbing the fenders or mirrors.

The trailer is rated for a specific weight capacity, and you need to confirm that your vehicle falls within that limit before renting. The rental does not include delivery or pickup service, but the staff can answer questions about loading procedures and tie-down techniques if you are not familiar with the process.

It Is Normal to Have Questions Before You Rent

Renting a car hauler trailer for the first time raises questions about weight limits, loading procedures, and what happens if something goes wrong during transport. These questions help you prepare and avoid problems on the road.

What vehicles can I haul on this trailer?
You can haul most passenger cars, light trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, and UTVs as long as the combined weight stays within the trailer rating. The staff at Flatland Trailer Rentals can confirm whether your vehicle fits the trailer specifications.
How do I secure the vehicle to the trailer?
You use ratchet straps or chains attached to the tie-down points on the trailer deck and hook them to the vehicle frame or designated tow points. The straps should be tight enough to prevent movement but not so tight that they damage the vehicle.
What if the vehicle does not run?
You can still load a non-running vehicle by pushing it onto the trailer or using a winch if available. The loading ramps are designed to reduce the angle and make manual loading easier.
How long can I keep the trailer?
You can rent the trailer for a single day, multiple days, or longer depending on your needs. Flatland Trailer Rentals offers flexible rental periods, and you can extend if your timeline changes.
What happens if I damage the trailer during the rental?
You are responsible for any damage that occurs while the trailer is in your possession. You should inspect the trailer before leaving the rental location and report any existing damage so it is documented before you start your rental.

Hauling your own vehicle in Lubbock saves money and lets you move on your own schedule without waiting for a tow service. If you need a car hauler trailer and want to confirm availability, reach out to Flatland Trailer Rentals to reserve your rental.
