Well, since they don’t allow towing, I’d say there’s a good chance there’s no receiver or wiring harness.

As far as insurance, probably you wouldn’t be covered even with their insurance. And maybe not with your own, since you were violating the lease agreement.

Call Ryder or Penske and see if you can rent a passenger van that can tow or an SUV.

Most rental vehicles do not allow towing, good luck.

why don’t you just call enterprise and ask them?...

and then go down the rental agency list if they say no...

problem solved...

What are the likely consequences if I tow without Enterprise blessing?

You void the contract I suspect.

I would call around and skip what you’re alluding to.

I don’t know how dated this is, but it’s academic:

Damage their vehicle break, your contract and they will sue - since you will not be covered by their insurance nor reimbursed by your own, you will pay damages out of pocket. All in all a stupid move.

Rent a truck, tow a vehicle. Which they allow.

I’m going to bet that there is no hitch receiver on a rental SUV.

Certain Penske locations rent F-150s for construction site use. When I owned a boat and wanted to take it camping, we’d rent the Penske F-150 to tow the boat to the campsight and used our own tow vehicle for the travel trailer. It’s not as cheap as a standard rental, but it’s the only way to go.

I have a vehicle you can use to tow.
Factory installed to 6,000 pounds.
Just got to get it from Hawaii to you.
$100 per day plus insurance and shipping.
Make sure it is full of fuel when you return it.

This post was a joke right?

We rented a Toyota Tundra from Avis last week to move my kid to college.

I don’t know about whether we were allowed to tow (and we didn’t) but it had a 2x2” frame mounted hitch receiver and a 4 pin flat wire hookup.

They had a bunch of them and all were equipped the same way.

If I were in a pinch, I’d probably bootleg it. But I would try to find a legitimate way to do this first.

Most Enterprise vehicles do not have a tow package or a hitch. You could go to a Enterprise Truck Rental and rent a F-250 SuperCrew.

Other alternatives, Full-size Ford Transit van, use the cargo area and skip the trailer.

If it came from the factory with a receiver, Enterprise likely blocked it off.

Does it mean the Tahoe can’t be towed or can’t tow something else or both?

One possibility is a hitch carrier that would give you more space, but it makes it difficult to get things out of the back.

I sold an antique fire engine once. The new owners drove it into a box truck and drilled and bolted 4x4’s in the floor to stabilize truck. IN TOTAL VIOLATION of lease agreement. Luckily they got to Utah with no problems.
