Look into Enterprise Commercial Truck locations near you. Unlike U-Haul, Enterprise has unlimited miles included in the rental. For short rentals, Enterprise is the winner. If you are driving long distances, U-Haul has built-in mileage limits and rate discounts for 1 week or longer rentals.

You can likely get a Ford Transit size van for $85 per day from Enterprise with unlimited miles. I used to rent them for trackdays, and saved on lodging by sleeping in a hammock in the van. If you factor in the cost of a motel room, you're really not paying much for the rental. You can run an extension cord from shore power at many tracks, and have lights and a laptop powered. Also, if you chat up the employees, they might even give you a free upgrade to a high roof model, which you can stand up in.

Just pick up two aluminum ramps (I bought mine off Amazon with 2-day shipping). Ramps will work for loading with the back of a normal Ford Transit.
