Once you get a price you like, book the shipment and pay. Keep in touch with your provider until the day of service to ensure you have all details covered and you’re entirely prepared for the process. Professional motorcycle shippers can take the stress out of shipping a bike because they have the experience and specialized equipment to get the job done right.
How Much Does Motorcycle Shipping Cost

What to Consider When Choosing a Motorcycle Shipping Company
In your search, choose a company that has:
- A reliable and proven reputation for motorcycle shipping
- Been specialized motorcycle shippers for many years (we’ve been in business since 1983)
- Competitive rates for door-to-door motorcycle transport
- State of the art loading equipment and trucks
- Adequate motorcycle shipping insurance (FYI, AA Motorcycle Shipping covers each motorcycle with $7,000 in insurance, with additional insurance available)
- Instant quotes
- Instant online tracking of your shipment
Generally, you have a couple of options: open trailer or enclosed. Open means your bike may share a truck with several other vehicles and will be exposed to the elements for the journey. Closed means your bike is inside the truck, or even in its own container.
You’ll also want to make sure you understand what door-to-door shipping means. In a nutshell, if you live in a spacious neighborhood with no overhanging branches or restrictions, we can pick up your motorcycle at your door and deliver it to the doorstep of the next destination. However, if you live on a narrow, crowded, busy street, a dead end, or in a community that places restrictions on the types of trucks that can inhabit it, we may have to meet you at a nearby parking lot to make the exchange.

Motorcycle Shipping Tips
Before shipping your motorcycle, it’s important to be prepared for what will happen. There are a few things you need to take care of before that happens. Here are some tips to keep in mind.
- Research motorcycle shipping companies, getting at least three estimates from three different companies.
- Decide between open and closed shipping. Going more than 500 miles? It’s recommended you go with enclosed shipping which provides much better protection for your motorcycle.
- Wash your bike and give it a thorough once-over to take note of any existing damage before you ship it.
- Take out all personal items and deactivate any alarms that may be on it.
- For crate shipping, drain the gas tank and take out the battery.
Prior to the arrival of your motorcycle carrier, it’s important to do a once-over to protect your motorcycle during the shipping process. Take photos of the state of your bike and inspect for any marks or dents that are already there. Then, you can better compare the condition later, and if there is a dispute, you can show the photos to the insurance company. It’s very rare that a bike is damaged during transport, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Be early for pickup. The driver will also take the time to look over your motorcycle for pre-existing damage. He will make note of any findings within his report.
