Yea I've seen others say here that it can be expensive to have the U-Haul trailer sent back to where you originally rented from. That or the inconvenience of having to take it back yourself to save money.

You just turn it in at whatever local uhaul place you can find. It is more expensive than returning to the one where you got it, but surely it would be cheaper than paying someone to deliver the bike for you. Uhaul also rents a 2 wheel dolly so you can tow your car behind the truck. Get it all in one trip.
