Very good advice and will save you headaches later.

For the cost of a rental...have you considered purchasing a double axle trailer

you can get longer lenght ramps as well that will break the approach angle up to prevent splitter damage

Enclosed Trailer

The car in question is very low miles and I do not want to drive it from state to state, rockchips,etc. Any assistance or suggestions will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

From my research, I can not find a place to rent a enclosed car hauler. I really only need one a few times a year to haul my GT to the track. From what I can tell, an 18' enclosed car hauler is about 4-5k new, and they are not that many in the used market. Although the ones that are, are not much cheaper than new.. So, I would tend to pay a little extra and get new in that case.
