U-Haul used to rent dual axle trailers.
If loaded properly it should tow fine.
Andy Mace and I used to tow with a rather basic single axle trailer with no
complaints either.
(Andy even did a hair raising 12 hour trip successfully)
Again, getting the car loaded so you have a proper tongue weight is the key!

OMG, memories of towing...the stories I could tell.... :-)
Over the years, I've towed about every way possible, save for use of a rollback
flatbed or traditional
"hook" tow truck (although I've had them done, it was by professionals). But
for doing it myself:
1. good tow vehicle (not your neighbor's old Peugeot wagon with a Kmart trailer
hitch)
2. solid, safe trailer big enough to hold whatever vehicle (icnluding the above
Peugeot wagon, in my case,
to "rescue" my then-father-in-law!)
Personally, I feel that if the car can't be driven, and you're going more than
about 20 miles, it
deserves to be on a trailer (or a flatbed truck, or even in a U-Haul box truck
if you're clever).
I see them used all the time, but I'm just not a fan of dollies for the long
haul.
