Transporting Bike
Considering to purchase a bike that is better than 200 miles from my home. Any thoughts on what would be the safest way to transport the bike? I'm not very familiar, nor comfortable with setting up and driving a vehicle with a trailer attached. I would like to rent a van that is set up to transport bikes but have no idea where to find such a rental.
Any suggestions appreciated.

If you new to riding and just not up for that long of a ride, is there a possibility that ya can find a friend to ride it back. I do know this is not the best riding season but just a thought. As for pulling a trailer, really not too bad. Backing might be a strain for a new guy but just what where you pull into and might not have to do any backing. Good luck and let us know what ya do. Ride safe.

If you are sketchy with trailers, I don't think I pickup truck would be much easier.
It's not that easy to put a heavy bike up into a pickup, unless you have a proper ramp.
Either ride it home, or find a friend who has a trailer, or just use Uship, or some other carrier if your not up to the task. Riding it is the cheapest and best alternative.
