Now it does depend on how far the move is, and in your case I would definitely recommend the following. Rent Uhaul Truck Get the truck not just a tow.
I do this because it helps maintain your car and avoids that miles put on during a long move. This will also help move your bed and mattress safely. & Rent a Car TowDepending on how much you want to spend you can go with either a tow dolly (Tow Dolly Trailer Rental), or if you are okay with spending just a little more money and want to save the tires on your car, a vehicle trailer (Auto Transport Rental).

It will obviously cost you a little more, but you will have the security that you pay for. I have had great experiences with uShip.
