You could have just as easily rented one the day you were to meet, and at most been out of the rental cost and your time.
You may as well add the cost in for a new keyboard, as it appears yours is damaged.
THAT'S "CART" BEFORE THE "HORSE!!"
Thank you for your understanding.No rental company rents with the purpose of towing,unless you go Uhaul + trailer @ a cost of$.99 per mile.
Cost would have been $900.00. The truck was 07 w/15K miles @ $214.00 per month.You do the math.
Besides I was asking for any $$$..just venting.
Thanks again

I love posts that contain absolutes. For your FYI- if you really look you can find a per day rental on a pickup that will be used for towing. I purchased a '69 Z/28 in Ohio and traveled from Maryland- Rented the truck from a local rental place with a daily rate-disclosed that I would be towing. There was no problem at all.
Got to Ohio, picked up the trailer at the U-haul for a one way haul. Picked up and loaded the camaro, trailered it home and dropped the trailer at the U-haul and the truck at the rental place.
Long story short is that you wanted the pickup, and as the rest of the poster's said- $900 cost for transport is fair less than $10K and is not unrealistic for auto transport.
Go ahead and benchmark if you really care and start with DAS who will provide an easy quote.

We don't have those option here in PODUNK Iowa.
Funny, I would have thought Cedar Rapids was a larger city than Frederick Maryland-
But again when you speak in "absolutes" it means you checked every possibility and are in effect guaranteeing that you are correct.
So point of fact - You cannot rent a truck to tow in anywhere in Cedar Rapids for a daily rate and if you want that - Buy a truck.
Note made and time to move on.
