Ernie,
The only wheels that would be turning would be the front wheels. You would not have to worry about removing the drive shaft or any other issue that is being discussed by towing it from the front. But I agree with you that you do not need to remove the drive shaft on a manual transmission vehicle. They have been towed like that for many years.
As a note;
I think it was mentioned before the get the trailer with another vehicle and then change it to your vehicle. That would work, but if the rental company ever found out you would probably not be able to ever rent from them again.
The rental companies are liable if they rent you a trailer that is hooked up to a tow vehicle that is too small to be towing whatever you need towed. At least they are in California anyways.
