    Website doesn't show prices unless you call the branch, but it does mention an extra surcharge for towing. Is that $95 including that extra surcharge?

    I bet OP could pay a friend with far less than $95/day worth of beer to follow behind him in the jeep...

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    I thought towing was the only way to move a jeep...

    I should have mentioned that you have to go to an Enterprise Commercial Truck Center.
    The Enterprise car rental places near me rent Ford 150's without trailer hitches. As BartMaster pointed out, you are not allowed to tow with them.

    I just saw an old 1st gen (6 cylinder I hope) hauling a double axle car trailer with a Volkswagen Passat on it. Hauling ass down I-25 to boot.

    My old ‘98 5-Lug had a fifth wheel hitch installed. Why? Who knows.

    I think we had this convo before, but

    5th wheels tow better, at any size, than a regular hitch receiver. I still see old school Scamp trailers that can't weight more than 2000# that are 5th wheels.

    They're just a little more expensive to install and are more intrusive because they take up pretty much all your bed storage.
