U haul.
Available at a lot of service stations.
Where are you located at?
They charge a fortune for one way hire but. It might be cheaper to buy a trailer in Sydney and then flog it off once you get to Mexico.

I've just driven down there to pick up a project car..
Went down M/T and hauled it back...
Went through about an extra tank of fuel ??..
But NOT $1600.00...

Just tow it down empty, and back full. Should be the way to go. No one way fees then. Only cost you $60 a day or so.

I'm in the wrong business........

Every now and again I have seen trailers for hire in the Trading Post / Gumtree with weekly rates.

To save money, I would hire it and return it from the same place. May put you out or cost you a bit more in fuel but that figure you quoted above is a joke..

Better than $60/day? Maybe worth a look?
