Trailer Hire in Leeds area
gingerprince - 9/11/06 at 03:54 PM

Hi, can anyone suggest somewhere to hire a trailer in the Leeds area, and what I should expect to pay? (to fit an MK Indy).

I'm doing a track day on 25th Nov at Oulton Park and I'd rather trailer it than drive it (mainly because I don't think I can get an MOT sorted in time, and it's run out!)

Guess I'd be looking at a weekend rate because I'd have to pick it up Friday evening and drop it off presumably Monday as I'd guess places would be closed on a Sunday.

This all assumes that I can get a towbar on my car in time too!

Hi Mate,
You'r welcome to borrow mine FOC if you want to fetch it and drop it off.
Proberbly cost you more in fuel though

if those fall through then theres always horsforth trailer centre (or similar name), the place is run by a very nice chap, very flexible He doesnt mind counting late sat til early monday as a single day. Was £20 in the past but dont quote me, ive been a few times so maybe he likes me.

If you really cant sort a towbar in time, i might be able to help with the towing down there. Ive missed trackdays myself in the past due to not being able to get a towbar!

I got a trailer from a place in swillington...
I think it was called swillington trailer centre, think it was pretty cheap, but more importantly roadworthy etc!

Do you mean this place

http://www.yellowtom.co.uk/motoring-transport,garage-services/1315.html

Horsforth Towbar Services

If not, I bought my towbar there, cheapest prices I could find locally for a big name towbar type rather than the dodgy Chinese type. The link has a £10 voucher off.

I better bookmark this thread, I'll need a trailer to move my car when I move house in a week or so.

ETA: There's a place in Leeds called Autowbars. They rent out beaver tail trailers. Can't remember the price and their website isn't working but the phone number is in the Yellow Pages I think.

Thanks all. Looks like I'll be loaning Paul's since I drive past it every day to get to work
