You have the cars "wrapped" just make sure you get someone that really knows what they are doing, as no one wants to be sitting on the side of the highway ripping off chunks of plastic out in the rain.
I "suppose you could rent a rig, we have off course rented a tractor in past no issue about 4,000 a month (but that was for a bunch of miles) renting a trailer should also be possible, but I would have no idea on rates.
As far as running it as "personal use" I would recommend against it, first off, whoever you are going to rent the tractor/trailer from are going to want your authority and insurance, again, this is just my thought, as we have never rented a trailer, and the tractor we rented pulled our trailer under our authority with our insurance.Terry270 and brian991219 Thank this. -

Well I see you and Sho Tyme post alot and make sense.
I think Sho Tyme runs an enclosed so it kinda gives this person a understanding of different style of units for what they needKANSAS TRANSIT Thanks this. -
Just my opinion, but if you have no experience loading a car trailer you need to leave it to the pros. You'll probably do more damage to the cars than what it will cost to hire someone who knows what they are doing. Again just my 2 cents on the matter.

I'm not sure, but I think ST wound up selling his equipment for a full time gig?Terry270 Thanks this. -
The tractor will be easy, I have rented them in the past to pull my 7 car, but I have no idea where to rent a high mount or enclosed car trailer for a few weeks. Also, no disrespect to the OP, but if your club members are as picky about their cars as you say, and they are worth what you say (I believe they are), then you may not want your first car haul run to be pricey show cars, not exactly how I would want to learn! One little mistake like hitting the ramp to fast (or slow) and you may be buying a bumper cover or bottoming out the rocker panels, etc.
