You have finally made the decision to start your trailer rental business but you are missing the main piece. What trailer is the best to start out with? Below you will read about my opinion on the best trailer to start your business with. You can start your business with anything you have, and that is what I recommend but if you are starting fresh or buying a new trailer, read below!

The Trailer You Already Own is the Best Way to Start Your Business!

Starting with what you have could be the best tip in this article. Let's say you already have a trailer sitting in your yard or driveway, and you only use this trailer once a month at most. Well the easiest way to start in this business is to post it on facebook marketplace and see if you can get a rental. You will most likely get messages and start to understand how customers think. This is the most cost effective way to enter into your new side hustle.

The First Trailer You Should Purchase

It is time for you to purchase a trailer. You have more business for the trailer you already own or you don't have a trailer at all. In my opinion, the trailer you need to purchase is a 10,000 pound 20 foot long car hauler. This exact car hauler is one of the most versatile trailers on the market. It can be used as a basic utility trailer to haul miscellaneous items, you can haul equipment like tractors or skid steers, and you can haul cars.

Based on the price of these car haulers, you will get the most bang for your buck. You can find plenty of brand new car haulers around the nation that will cost anywhere from $3,000-$5,000. We personally have seen hosts make $10,000+ per year on their individual car haulers.

This trailer is a NO BRAINER to add to your fleet of trailers.

Conclusion

Start your trailer rental business with the least amount of money possible. If you have a small utility trailer, start with it so you can see how the business works. Once you get comfortable, buy that car hauler and make some money! Keep growing as your demand increase and keep learning what works best for you and your area.
