Other ways to move in Wisconsin
Although a professional mover will offer the most convenience and expertise, a rental truck or a moving container company may be a better choice for you.
Rental truck: You may be familiar with U-Haul,
these are the cheapest options but require you to handle the entire moving process yourself.
Moving containers: These are companies like PODS,
more expensive than truck rentals but cheaper than professional movers.
With these companies, you load the containers and they drive them to your new home.

Considerations for moving to Wisconsin
Wisconsin is a state with low cost of living, high quality of life, abundant outdoor recreational activities, unique tasty food, and borders great lakes so it makes sense to want to move there. These are some of the things to keep in mind to help your move to the Badger State go smoothly:
Weather: Wisconsin has warm-summers humid continental climate while the southern and southwestern portions are classified as hot-summer humid continental climate. Wisconsin also receives a large amount of regular snowfall averaging around 40 inches. Be sure to check your local weather station if you are planning your move for the summer.
HOA Rules: Many neighborhoods and communities have rules about moving, have a smooth transition to your new home by checking ahead of time.
Elevator Reservation: If you’re moving to a building with an elevator,
there may be things you need to know ahead of time such as using a service elevator, time restrictions, or reservations.
Parking Permits: Some cities have rules about parking large vehicles.
Check with your new city ahead of time to ensure you have everything in order.
State Licensing: Movers providing in-state relocation services in the Badger State must register with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), but strictly speaking, it’s not a regulated state.
However, movers must comply with individual insurance, licensing, and other state laws and regulations. All of the movers on our list are fully licensed.
State Regulator: You can verify a Wisconsin moving license
and its status on the state regulator's official website.
Change of Address: You should submit your change of address form with USPS
at least a week prior to your move. You can set an official move date on the form and this way all of your mail will get properly forward to Wisconsin.
Mover's Insurance: Every state has its own requirements when it comes to insurance. Released Value Protection is the most economical option because it doesn’t cost anything. It is offered by movers at no additional charge, but the protection is minimal. Under this option, the mover is responsible for no more than 60 cents per pound per article. For example, if your mover lost or damaged a 50 inch TV weighing 25 pounds, you would only receive $15 (60 cents x 25 pounds). If you need for the full value of your items to be covered, please consult with the moving company you're hiring for other options or a third-party insurance provider.
