Question 1

How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle to Alabama?

Accepted Answer

It really depends on the specifics of your order. First, you'll need to provide your shipping company with your motorcycle's exact measurements, including its dimensions and weight. A standard limit is 700 pounds, and you'll have to pay extra if your vehicle is any heavier.

Next, distance is obviously a major factor. If your pickup and dropoff points are further apart, it'll drive up the delivery's cost. This also applies if either of your locations is in a remote area since it's harder for the company to reach you.

The types of transport you choose are also major factors that tie into what you're willing to exclude. If you choose open hauling, it's much cheaper than enclosed conveyance. The latter means your bike will be in an enclosed container, and the extra protection costs money.

There are also two common delivery options: door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal. The former means the shipping company will come directly to your door, while you'll have to take your motorcycle to the terminal for the latter. This makes it cheaper but less convenient. And if you live far from the terminal, the fuel cost will close the final number together anyway.

Question 2

How long does it take to transport a motorcycle to Alabama?

Accepted Answer

It could be difficult to have an exact amount. While the national average is $940 for an open carrier and $1,300 for an enclosed one, these numbers are for a cross-country delivery. So they only apply if you live farther away from Alabama.

When you ask your company for a quote, they ask you for specific details about your delivery so you can get a close estimate.

Usually, a company has to factor in several aspects before your motorcycle is delivered. Things like the weather might seem small, but they greatly affect logistics. Extreme heat causes engines to overheat, while storms mean obvious delays.

If your company used a large carrier for your order, it might cost less, but it'll also take longer to get delivered since you'll have to wait your turn according to the driver's route.

Question 3

Will my motorbike be secure?

Accepted Answer

As long as you choose a trustworthy company, you don't need to worry about whether your motorcycle is secure. Your movers will simply push the vehicle onto the carrier using a ramp and secure it using ratchet straps.

If you have a more expensive model, you might have to pay extra if you want more security. But it usually isn't needed. If you feel the extra protection is necessary, select enclosed transportation. While it'll be more expensive, you won't be worried about it.

Even without it, a good company uses several eyelets and straps to make sure the vehicle doesn’t budge during the journey.

All you must do is make sure you prepare it well. You have to remove all extra parts, empty its tank, and have it cleaned. It'll be ready to be shipped after that.

Question 4

Will my bike be insured?

Accepted Answer

Any legally registered company will be insured, which means you’ll be compensated for any damages to your motorcycle.

It’s also why you should always choose your company carefully. You shouldn’t choose a firm that is too cheap, since if their rates are less than others, they’re skipping something.

It might be insurance, which means you'll suffer damages in case of an accident. You can easily check Alabama's state website for a list of all the licensed companies, so choose well.
