This page exists for the commercial version of a question that riders ask all the time: not just how to haul a motorcycle, but what kind of trailer to rent for the job. If you need to move one bike, two bikes, or a whole group setup with gear, the answer depends on weather, distance, and how much risk you want to take with the bikes and everything around them.
The trailer for this job: Enclosed Trailer — 7.5' x 16' · our biggest cargo bay. Text Nick at (920) 381-9770 to check a date.
Fondy Trailer Rentals is a strong fit for motorcycle hauling because the fleet includes a 6' x 12' enclosed trailer, an 8.5' x 24' enclosed car hauler, and open utility options when weather protection matters less than simplicity or cost.
Which Trailer Is Best for Motorcycle Transport?
6' x 12' Enclosed Trailer
This is the cleanest answer for one bike or a couple of standard motorcycles. It keeps the bikes dry, out of the sun, and out of sight when you stop. It also gives you room for helmets, jackets, tools, fuel jugs, and other ride gear.
8.5' x 24' Enclosed Car Hauler
If you are hauling multiple bikes, traveling with friends, or heading to an event with gear, the enclosed car hauler is the better rental. It has far more space, 20 E-track tie-down points, included straps and blankets, and enough room to treat the trip like a proper equipment move instead of cramming bikes into a small box.
Open Utility Trailer
An open trailer works when the trip is short, the weather looks good, and cost matters more than protection. It is the budget option, but it is not the premium option for bikes you care about.
When Riders Choose Enclosed Instead of Open
- Longer highway trips where road grime and weather matter
- Higher-value bikes that should stay out of sight when parked
- Multi-day trips where helmets, bags, and tools need secure storage
- Events and group rides where multiple bikes and gear travel together
- Transporting a bike that is not running or that you do not want exposed
Common Wisconsin Motorcycle Hauling Use Cases
Motorcycle trailer rental in Wisconsin is rarely about one generic use case. The page has to cover real scenarios:
- Taking bikes to Road America weekends or other motorsports events
- Hauling to Door County, the Dells, or northern Wisconsin to start the ride there
- Picking up a bike from a private seller, dealer, or auction
- Moving a project bike that is not road-ready
- Helping a friend with a breakdown, crash recovery, or shop transfer
What Makes the Bigger Enclosed Hauler Useful for Bikes?
The 8.5' x 24' enclosed car hauler is not just for cars. For motorcycles, its value is space and tie-down flexibility. Riders can load multiple bikes side by side, keep more separation between handlebars and fairings, and still have room for coolers, bags, toolboxes, and extra gear. That is a much more serious setup than trying to improvise inside a smaller trailer.
Good fit for group trips. If you are hauling more than one motorcycle or want weather-protected space for event gear, ask Nick about the 8.5' x 24' enclosed car hauler first.
What to Bring for a Motorcycle Trailer Rental
- Soft ties for handlebars or approved frame points
- Four good ratchet straps minimum
- A wheel chock if you want the cleanest one-bike loading setup
- Gloves and a basic tool kit
- Your route plan before pickup, especially for long-distance runs
Fondy already includes a lot of the useful support gear on the bigger trailers, but it is still smart to confirm what you need before the day of pickup.
Why This Page Is Different From a Basic How-To
The existing motorcycle-hauling guide is more about loading technique and tie-down procedure. This page is more commercial and selection-focused. It is for renters trying to decide which trailer to reserve and why paying for the right enclosed setup can be worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to rent a trailer for a motorcycle?
The enclosed trailer starts at $55 for 4 hours, which is the usual choice for a bike. An open utility trailer starts at $40.
Enclosed or open for a motorcycle?
Enclosed if the bike is valuable, the weather is uncertain, or you are stopping overnight. Open is fine for a short daylight haul.
Does the trailer come with tie-downs?
Every trailer goes out stocked: ratchet straps, D-rings, ramps, a spare tire, bottle jack, lug wrench and work gloves. You do not need to bring hauling gear.
How do I book?
Text or call Nick at (920) 381-9770. Pickup is at W4637 Lakepark Drive in Fond du Lac by appointment, and every trailer comes back there — we do not do one-way rentals.
