Determine what size and type trailer you will need. The rental companies can assist you with this part, but in general you will need about 150 cubic feet of space per furnished room of your house or apartment. Also, you will need to determine how much weight your vehicle can pull, as well as whether or not you have the right towing accesories, such as a ball mount or hitch, to pull the trailer. If you don't, the rental company should be able to rent these items and show you how to use them.
Locate a rental agency that allows one-way rentals. Since the agency has multiple pick-up and drop-off locations, you will probably need to use a national agency for your rental. Three companies with several locations in Florida to consider are U-Haul, Penske and Budget truck rentals. Call your nearest location and ask for a quote for a one-way rental. They will tell you if there's a drop-off location in your new state.
Present your driver's license, credit card and proof of insurance when you pick up your cargo trailer. Your credit card number is used in case of damages, even if you decide to pay cash for your rental. If you don't have insurance or your insurance does not cover rentals, you may purchase insurance that meets Florida's requirements at the pickup site. Make note of any damage on the trailer when you pick it up so that you are not responsible for those when you drop it off.
Pack your trailer and hook it up to your vehicle. Be sure that the tail lights and turn signals on the trailer are connected properly before driving, in accordance with the Florida statute regarding state uniform traffic control.
Unload your trailer in your new location and return the trailer to the designated drop-off location.
