I tow my 968 or 944 with my silverado 1500 all the time. My trailer has electric brakes on one axle. Half the time, they don't work (I keep meaning to fix that...) but the truck really doesn't have any problems stopping the trailer; it has more than enough brakes.
I wouldn't worry too much about surge brakes vs electric on the rented trailer. Just make sure the trailer balance is right.
You might also consider shipping the car; if you add up the cost of the trailer, added fuel (I get 11-12 mpg towing vs. 18-19 not towing with my 2010/5.3l) you might not be far from the cost of a shipper.
