I don't think you can rent a car with a tow hitch.

I rented a trailblazer, you can pop the cover off the bumper and use the bumper hitch, I did it to tow a car from PA to NY.



the wiring is tucked up behind the bumper for the trailer lights.





if something happens though- look out.



if they even have that style bumper anymore?

just pay someone to do it, cant cost more then $600-$800 or so and they will be insured.



Remember those one way rentals are killer- they charge alot of money when you dont return to the same place you rented from.
