What rental truck companies rent out flatbed trailers for a 2017 Acura MDX?

My family and I are moving from Colorado to Alabama, we would like to tow our 2017 Acura MDX with my 2017 Ford F-150 SuperCrew. What rental companies have flatbeds that will handle an MDX?

Why does a flatbed trailer need to be specific for a car? Just find a trailer who's weight requirements exceed the weight of the MDX and you're good to go.

Thank you for your quick response! The issue that I'm running into is the MDX is too wide for the trailers at Uhaul and Penske. Just want to see if anyone knows if there are any other rental companies that may accommodate.

Is your MDX fwd or sh-awd? If fwd, you might be able to use a tow dolly if the MDX will fit between the dolly wheels.

Man it would suck to have to tow an MDX on a tow dolly from Colorado to Alabama

Alternatively there are MANY shipping companies who will actually ship the MDX for you to where you need it to go (some via enclosed trailer and others via Train). I personally would go that route over trailering it behind me because that gives you the opportunity to purchase travel insurance through the shipping company and if anything goes wrong they will cover it for you. The rates are pretty reasonable too, something like ~$300-$500.
