Cost & Time Examples To Ship Your Motorcycle

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and what type of vehicle you are shipping.

Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle

• Open-air transport

We use vehicles that are not covered at any side. Multiple motorbikes can be carried on the decks of a multi-carrier.

• Enclosed transport

Being the opposite of open-air transport, the motorbike is well-protected during shipment. There are two options we use. The first is soft-sided enclosed transport which means that the sides of the trailer will be covered with a vinyl or canvas. The second option is the hard-sided enclosed transport where the motorbikes are protected with thin fibreglass. This method is perfect for high-end motorcycle brands.

• Door to door transport

We usually operate on door to door basis for most motorcycle shipments. However, we don’t use it so often when your residential area has dead ends, hanging branches or restrictions against large trucks. In that scenario, we could arrange to meet in a nearby parking lot.

• Terminal to terminal transport

Most people consider this the cheapest option. You simply move the motorcycle to our shipping yard and we will deliver it to the shipping yard/terminal at the destination.

• Crated Transport

We transport the motorcycle in a wooden crate as long you do all the preparation activities mentioned below.

How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping

• No personal items

You should not leave any riding gear or personal effects on the bike as you have no guarantee of finding them at your shipping destination. You may also have to take out the panniers from the motorbike. The shipping company may refuse to handle your motorcycle if they find this rule not adhered to.

• Fuel tank

Depending on the distance to be covered and the shipping method to be used, you may be required to only have a ¼ full or completely drained fuel tank.

• Leaking fluids

Check your motorbike for leaking oil, water or other fluids. The shipping company may refuse to load your motorbike for shipment if the leaks are not repaired. You have to fix the leaks at your own personal cost.

• Overall condition

Your motorbike should be in roadworthy condition and be ride-able by the shippers. Leave the keys in the ignition if you are asked to.

What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company

Motorcycle shipping companies should display the following qualities before you start working with them:

• Technology

Look for a shipping company whose website provides instant shipping quotes and can allow the user to access the online booking as well as payment function. As a bonus, the company should provide an online tracking service for your motorcycle shipment.

• Modern equipment

The motorcycle shipping company needs to be equipped with temperature controlled compartments and air-ride suspensions. If you have a Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, BMW or an Indian Scout Bobber among others, ensure that you research the right skids and soft ties needed for the brand of motorcycle you have. Confirm that the shippers have it.

• Care

Whether you are a residential client or a major manufacturer, the shipping company should consider your shipment important. The shipping company should show that they care by carefully following through your shipment and taking note of your feedback and comments.

• Fleet Network

How many states does the motorcycle shipping company serve in the USA? The more the areas or zones they serve the better their services. What’s more is that you can be guaranteed of your motorbike getting the best care at each shipping stage in the different areas.
