When Renting No Longer Makes Sense
There are two key situations where renting a trailer is less strategic.
First, you travel long distances. Many rental places will charge by the mile. The cost of a long-distance rental may only be a small amount less than the cost of buying a trailer!
Second, you travel often. It's inconvenient to continually rent a trailer. Coordinating the pickup and drop-off takes time and energy. Plus, there's always the risk that there will not be available models during the dates that you need the trailer.
When the Trailer is a Business Purchase
If you are needing a trailer for work, you may be able to get certain tax benefits.
Plus, you can personalize the trailer with your company logo and information. As you drive around town, you will be getting free publicity for your business.
When You Need a Specialized Trailer
It can be tough finding a specialized trailer for short-term use, whether you borrow from someone or rent from a dealership. The more unique the trailer, the harder it will be to find. A general purpose trailer may be your only short-term use option - and it could be a problematic pairing with your cargo. If you need a specialized trailer, it can be wise to buy your own model.
When You Have the Storage Space
The trailer needs to go somewhere when it is not in use. An enclosed storage space (such as a garage or shed) is best since it will provide the best protection against weather, pests, and thieves. If that's not an option, storing in a driveway or backyard can work. If there is no available place for you to store the trailer, it's wise to wait on this purchase.
When You Want to Customize the Trailer
After you buy a trailer, you get full control of the model. This opens the door to many different customization options. Install a shelving system to better organize your cargo, invest in a ramp, and so on. There are many different aftermarket accessories available that can make the trailer experience easier, more efficient, or even safer. Owning a trailer gives you free reign to make those modification.
