So I'm trying to get a bunch of rails (11 total) from VT to NH. It's about a two hour ride. What is the cheapest/easiest way to either drive them myself using some kind of rented truck or have them shipped/moved for me? Thanks!

Uhaul or Home Depot for a flatbed if they're small enough

How long are they? If they're short-ish, you might be able to tie them down in the back of a pickup truck with an 8 foot bed. If not, ask around if you can borrow a decent sized flat trailer and some tie down straps.
If all fails, there's always home depot of u-haul

A lot to ship them. What kind of rails are they? Are they steel or pvc?
If you can borrow somebodies truck an d a decent trailer you can probably do it that way. Depends on what size and how much they weigh. If they're steel they're going to weigh a lot but def worthwhile if the price is right. If they're pvc they'll be a lot easier to move but might not be worth it if if you can just build some of them yourself.
Do you have your license? That's a big one. If you can drive = much easier. If you have to find a vehicle, and somebody to drive it, more of a pain in the balls.

11 PVC rails. Tallest is 30", longest is a little over 15'.

If you aren't able to drive and are having trouble finding somebody to do it and a truck or trailer that can handle it seriously might just be better off just building them.
If they're free or dirt cheap and you can find somebody to tow them back go for it though. You could probably fit them all on one trailer. Tie them down with rope or ratchet straps and hit the road.
