The MRS and I will be leaving next week for a few weeks in the Sunshine State. Our car (HHR) is only rated for 1K lbs, so won't be able to trailer our RT along. I checked around for rentals. Dang, they're proud of the Spyder down there, $250 a day. Even a Harley trike is in the same vicinity. Shoot, I guess we'll just relax and get sunburned.

If you already have a trailer capable to haul the Spyder, maybe consider getting a rental to make the trip.Quote:

When you can find them for rent, $250 is usually what is charged for daily rentals. They go by what the market will bear pricing. :(
where in florida are you gong?
1000lbs. interesting - your Spyder can tow 400lbs. and some have towed 650lbs. with a trailer that has elec. brakes..... does the HHR have a tow ball in the bumper ??? or is it a real frame mounted hitch ??? ….. that will make a difference …. contact Curtis a manufacturer of Veh. hitches see what they say …..

Found another site, www.rider-share.com , that is another possibility. Closest Spyder worth considering is S of Orlando at $150 a day. 2 wheels are cheaper, but need a backrest at minimum so that momma stays aboard. She sometimes has issues.

Ship bikes down there. There was another post that suggested Haul Bikes Carrier as an option.Quote:

I checked with them, it was going to be close to $800 round tripping. Just can't justify that for a few days of ryding. Besides, my SS check would be feeling painful.
