Thousands of dollars plus the cost of fuel, and mileage if it's a two-way rental. However, when coupling the cost of renting a pickup truck from a regular car rental place and then renting a tow-dolly itself, the cost is actually quite lower, hovering below $500-$600 if done right.
In the OLD days, it was a lot more difficult for a rental car agency to determine if they were renting to a problem driver. That is NO LONGER the case. Food for thought. In 2013, there are THREE major rental car companies - Hertz (Hertz, Thrifty, Dollar), Avis (Avis, Budget), and Enterprise (Enterprise, Alamo, National).

I just spent $900 on new tires that only had 100 miles on them and they calculated it as worth $210 and plus had maintenance and new battery installed ...
Yep, I just did this last week. Take 95 to the 295, saves you time, gas and the toll is one dollar. If I remember right, when I took 95 all the way up when moving to Maine, I had to pay two tolls on 95...one around Portland and one around Augusta and I think they were a little more than a dollar.
While waiting to check in for the night, I used the office restroom. The toilets were those uber-powerful, commercial grade, air assist types. As I grabbed my coat off the stall hook and leaned over to push the flush button, the rental car keys fell out of the coat's pocket, bounced off the rim of the bowl, and WHOOOOSH! Gone in a flash.
The tenant is just paying a monthly "premium" to the carrier for the policy. So the dollar amount you pay is based on the dollar amount of the covered payout, the property's history, property condition, tenant census and the applying tenant's risk factor. It's not a fee and it;s not a deposit. It's nothing but an insurance policy like on a car.
