Brown County is one of the largest, most diverse rental markets in northeast Wisconsin. Green Bay anchors it, but the county stretches into rural agriculture on the south and east, industrial and shipping traffic on the bay, and a suburban ring through De Pere, Ashwaubenon, Howard, Suamico, Bellevue, and Allouez. Fondy Trailer Rentals serves the whole county from our Fond du Lac lot with a fleet built for the range of jobs that show up here.
Renting from Brown County? The three most-booked trailers are the enclosed trailer, utility trailer and dump trailer. Pickup is in Fond du Lac and there are no mileage limits.
Why Brown County Renters Look South
Brown County has trailer counters. The problem is usually not whether a trailer exists, but whether the right trailer exists at a fair price. Chain counters lean utility-only. Specialty trailers — dump, tilt deckover, gooseneck, enclosed car hauler — are harder to find, and when you find one, mileage fees push the total past sane.
- Contractors moving compact equipment and tools between Brown County job sites
- Homeowners handling landscape, roof, and deck projects in older Green Bay housing stock
- Vehicle buyers making trips down the I-43 corridor for auction and dealer purchases
- Farmers and rural property owners moving equipment, brush, and fill
- Motorsports, ATV, UTV, and motorcycle traffic heading north from Brown County
- Households moving inside or out of Green Bay to Appleton, Oshkosh, or the Fox Valley
Fond du Lac Pickup for Brown County Renters
Brown County sits about an hour north of Fond du Lac on Highway 41. That's not a nothing drive, so the tradeoff has to be real: a broader fleet, honest pricing, and direct booking with Nick instead of a counter runaround.
Where the drive pays off. If you already need a specialty trailer — dump, tilt deckover, gooseneck, or an enclosed car hauler with a winch — the Fond du Lac drive is worth it because that trailer is often not available at the closest Brown County counter, or is priced through mileage into a much higher total than a Fondy rental.
Best Trailers for Brown County Jobs
6x12 Enclosed Trailer
Green Bay moves, weatherproof appliance runs, tailgate hauls, motorcycle transport. The go-to residential trailer for the whole county.
6x12 Utility Trailer
Lower-cost hauls, single equipment moves, dump-station runs, small landscape jobs.
18-Foot Utility Trailer
Zero turns, ATVs, UTVs, side-by-sides, small tractors, and contractor multi-item loads. Brown County ATV and UTV owners run this trailer hard.
6x10 Dump Trailer
Roof tear-off, deck demo, brush, mulch, gravel, and yard debris. Older Green Bay housing generates real demo work — the dump saves multiple truck-bed runs.

Statewide vehicle pickups. Winch handles non-runners. The most common specialty rental for Brown County vehicle buyers.
8.5x24 Enclosed Car Hauler
Big moves, classic car transport, tailgate setup for Packers weekends, race-day hauling. Roughly 26-foot moving truck volume, towed behind your own vehicle.
8.5x24 Tilt Deckover

Why This Page Has Real Utility
Green Bay alone is a big market. Brown County is bigger — and the demand pattern is more diverse. That gives this page room to actually help a wider set of renters, not read as a lookalike of the city page. If you are inside Brown County and the local rental picture doesn't fit your job, the Fondy fleet plus the honest quote plus the no-mileage-limits promise is a real reason to drive south.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Fondy Trailer Rentals serve Brown County?
Yes, though pickup is always in Fond du Lac. Renters from De Pere, Ashwaubenon, Howard and Suamico come down for trailers the local chains do not carry rather than for everyday cargo trailers.
What makes the drive worthwhile from Brown County?
Three trailers: the Air Tow, whose deck lowers flat for low-clearance equipment, the tilt deckover for skid steers, and the gooseneck deckover for the heaviest loads. All three are uncommon as rentals.
Are there mileage limits from this far north?
No. You pay for the rental period and nothing per mile, anywhere in the United States.
What do I need before I can tow?
A tow vehicle rated for the load, the matching hitch ball, and for the car hauler, utility trailer, dump trailer and gooseneck, a brake controller. We rent hitch balls at $10 a day and a Bluetooth brake controller if you need one.
How do I book from out of the area?
Text or call (920) 381-9770 and confirm the trailer is free before you drive. Pickup is by appointment at W4637 Lakepark Drive in Fond du Lac.
