Check out Dynotunes, go to the drop down menu for Hog Haulers. They have all sorts of trailers of different sizes. They charge daily and weekly.
Didn't know they had that, I stand corrected
In Canada, their "motorcycle trailer" is just an aluminum landscape trailer that can't even go on the highway.
The UHaul enclosed 5 by 8 is allowed for 55 mph - bah! I've towed two bikes at excess that (not by much though) for several years - no problem at all. $22 all in for 24 hours - unlimited milage. The empty weight of 950ish pounds makes it heavy though.
EDIT - trailers have no odometers - no per/km charges

Except it has a wheel chock in it along with multiple tiedown rings.
Have you actually rented a trailer from them in this country with a wheel chock in it? Last I heard they only had them south of the border.

I did last August from U-Haul in Oakville. Cost me less than $30 for the day including the optional insurance (why not for a few bucks, not worth the risk if you damage the trailer somehow). I drove it to Downtown TO to pick up my Triumph Bonneville from a private seller, up to Rosey Toes to get it checked out and safetied, and back to Burlington. This was with a Ford Focus BTW
No problems however the car did struggle a bit at highway speed so I wouldn't make a habit of it without a larger vehicle. The Focus and my hitch are rated at 2000lbsThe Burlington U-Haul said they have one trailer with wheel chock but it was booked out that week, so reserve ahead. That said I've now upgraded my CAA to Plus and will call them if the need arises.

Was it still restricted to 55mph like the rest of their trailers?
All U haul trailers are restricted to 55 mph .. for safety purposes. ( so the wheels dont fall off, or the bearings dont disengrate) lol ..

Not even taking U-Haul's safety record into account, I've seen enough exploded trailer tires to know you don't second guess the speed rating on them! It shouldn't even be legal to sell trailer tires that are not rated for the highway, for anything other than agricultural use.

I picked up a uhaul trailer 2 weeks ago because I was moving. I went there with a friends truck to pick up the trailer. The guy came out and looked at my trailer wire light hook up and it was all rotted. So he cut it off and put a new one on for free. When it was all said and done it came to like 27 bucks. The trailer was in good condition and I definetly would recommend them if you need a trailer.

I just wanted to say that I had Toy Hauler ('infernobuster'?) pickup, deliver, and cert my bike for $180, a few weeks back. It was quick, easy, and he was very pleasant to deal with. I would highly recommend him to anyone - hands down!!! (www.thetoyhauler.ca)
