Title: Thinking Of Going To Calgary
Post by: reefreshd_jive on July 29, 2006, 10:59:34 AM

i am thinking of going to calgary for das volks and would have to tow the beetle down there. the only truck rental places that allow their trucks to tow are uhaul and canadian rentals. they both have a per/km charge aswell as rental charge, then there is still the fuel costs. just wondering if anyone knows of a rental company that is more reasonable than those? it would be between $750-1000 alone for the km charges.
if anyone has any other ideas on how to get my car there without driving it, let me know.
thanks.
james

Drive it down to Annacis Island and put it on a train.

i just finished building it a couple months ago, and have not had enough problem free drive time on it. my 68 last year wasnt a problem at all. I just dont want to risk it in the 63.
