Strange, I got one just a few months ago.  Only hassle I had was because
their database said my Roadmaster wagon weighed less than the owner's manual
says.  After I blustered a bit, he had me initial a form that said "not
recommended" and gave me the trailer.

But they likely are a bit sensitive about enforcing their rule that the tow
vehicle has to outweigh the trailer & load.  Several news sources (including
the LA Times) have been beating on them about stupid people that inure and
kill themselves with mis-loaded rented trailers.
