Renting a trailer one-way across Europe

If you're driving from Belgium to Sweden and back again, rent one from Belgium as you'll bring it back with you?

I saw loads of box trailer rental type things at fuel stations in Finland - seemed like a great idea but I may have misunderstood what it was? Looked like u-haul in the US, not sure whether that idea has spread through the rest of Europe?

One way van hire here: https://fr.autoeurope.be/index.cfm?c=4877

Got to agree with the buy a truck option, I'm going to do my C licence just incase this sort of situation arises in future (and for fun!)

Current planning I'm staying in Sweden for a month before coming back down. So wouldn't be very cost effective.

Yeah, same in Sweden. Great for moving close by, or if you need to go to Ikea or something. But not a cross-Europe thing like U-Haul.

I'm honestly not so sure that's such a bright idea. Anything affordable will be clapped out, bad on fuel, a pig to drive, and hard to park somewhere. And we don't need the extra room, a trailer should be plenty.
