plastic wrap, card board, blankets and pool noodles, and it should be fine. I've transported a few games on their side a couple hundred miles, and they were fine.

Granted, most of the stuff I pick up already has a few dings and scratches in it, but I can't say I've noticed any new marks when wrapping a game up like a mummy.

Quoted from freddy:

rent a U-haul trailer $19.00 a day pull it with your suv

The downside is that those trailers don't have a suspension system, so anything you put back there gets bounced around. Personally, if I had a choice, I'd prefer to transport it on its side in a vehicle rather than on a small uhaul trailer.

Quoted from freddy:

who said small?

Here:

Quoted from Golferron54:

does not fit my 32" height maximum SUV

SUV's can only haul so much before exceeding the tow weight limit, especially if it's an enclosed trailer. The smaller enclosed trailers don't have a suspension, and neither do the comparable open utility trailers.

Plus, if a Banzai Run won't fit in the OP's vehicle, it's probably safe to assume it's not a large SUV with a lot of extra horsepower.

Once you hit the 6x12 trailer size, then you get suspension and braking, but the enclosed trailer is too heavy for many SUVs (it has an empty weight of just shy of 2000 lbs), and the open utility trailer is just shy of 1800 lbs.
