Default Towing options/ recommendations

Anybody have any experience with having a car towed roughly 50-60 miles in the chicago area? I have my places for short distance, but this seems rather far.

So far Im leaning toward the Uhaul/autodolly method, which is gonna set me back about $200.

You'll have trouble getting the car up onto the uhual car trailer. My stock height ap1 scraped pretty bad and it didn't even have a lip.
