How Much to Ship a Motorcycle to California?

We can’t say with certainty until you give us more information. You will generally pay between $400 and $800 to ship a motorcycle 1,000 miles. For shorter shipments, the price is lower, between $180 to $300. Always call us first to get a more accurate price. That’s because many factors influence what you pay, such as whether an on-road vehicle or an off-road vehicle.

The cost of shipping a motorcycle to California can vary depending on a few factors. These include the size and weight of your bike, the distance that it is being shipped, the type of company you choose to ship it with, and their insurance policies. Always make sure to do your research and find out what is included in a shipper’s quote before committing.

Picked up bike Wednesday in Los Angeles CA & arrived on Sunday in North Carolina. I'm pleased.Response from the ownerThank you for the business Angelo Dua AbudiabDua Abudiab ★★★★★ Easy booking, super responsive to my questions as I was shipping a motorcycle for the first time at the end of a cross-country trip from their warehouse. The process was smooth with an easy moto drop-off (riding moto onto a pallet was exciting), clear instructions, and a tracker as I watched moto make its way back to my doorstep.It was unloaded off the pallet and rolled up to my driveway in the same condition I left it. Super appreciate this service and am using it again for my trip this year!Response from the ownerThanks for shipping with us. J PJ P ★★★★★ Shipped motorcycle on-time and literally door-to-door - thanks!Response from the ownerThanks Gary MGary M ★★★★☆ AA Motorcycle Shipping did a superb job of delivering my bike half-way across the US. The key takeaways are that my bike arrived without a scratch and absolutely on-time. Kudos to the teams.My only critique is that the collection truck and delivery truck both were a total mess and the bike had a fair layer of grime covering it upon arrival. Still, I must report I'm satisfied with the results.Response from the ownerThank you for the business. Jay BehrJay Behr ★★★★★ Instant quote feature was just as described, instantly provided, and was really helpful. Was nice to know how much it would cost to get a bike shipped from current location to end destination.Response from the ownerThank you for the business Jay Dori VBDori VB ★★★★★ I've used them twice now, to move my limited edition, perfect condition motorcycle. They were speedy, professional , affable and my motorcycle arrived in perfect condition. I highly recommend.Response from the ownerThanks for the business Dori Shawn RimmerShawn Rimmer ★★★★★ I am very happy with the entire experience of shipping a custom painted Harley from Colorado to Florida! Communication from the start was excellent, transit time was minimal (7 days, door to door!) and the bike showed up in the same condition as it left!

They coordinated the delivery of my motorcycle from WA state to Arizona on time and with no damge whatsoever to my motorcycle.Response from the ownerThank you for the business David Mark MuirMark Muir ★★★★★ Completely happy with service..delivery...communicating and planning. I had no idea what to do to get the motorcycle home from Florida or anybody who did this to I found your service...thx again for your job well done!Loren ZawodnyLoren Zawodny ★★★★★ This was my first experience shipping a motorcycle cross-country. I chose this company because they had transparent service pricing and company information on their website. I also appreciate that when I called, I got a real person, not a call center. Nearly all motorcycle shippers are brokers meaning other service contractors do the actual work. However the tracking of my shipment was very easy using their website. My motorcycle was picked up and delivered on time and in great condition. The pick up and delivery were both very professionally done. I appreciate that this was enclosed shipping on a pallet. I am happy with my experience, and I plan to use them again next time I ship a vehicle.Response from the ownerThank you Loren for sharing. Moises IavaroneMoises Iavarone ★★★★★ Second time I use AA Motorcycles transport, my two bikes made it super safe, love the you can track where you bike if going.

3 Motorcycle Shipping Services

Terminal-to-Door/Door-to-Terminal

We have 47 locations. While our most popular service is door-to-door shipping, using one of our terminals is the 2nd most popular service. You can either drop off or pick up your motorcycle at one of our locations.

Door-to-Door Transport

We ship motorcycles to people’s homes every day. No matter how remote or rural you are, we can provide motorcycle shipping services to your door.

Terminal-to-Terminal

Most people who use terminal-to-terminal shipping services are for group rides. This is a great service for a 1-way road trip where a motorcyclist finishes his trip at one of our locations and ships it back home.

Choosing a California Motorcycle Shipping Company

When choosing a company to ship your motorcycle, it is important to consider their reputation and abilities in transporting motorcycles. You also want to make sure they are providing the best possible rates and services for you. Research your options, compare prices, and read customer reviews before making your decision. It’s also a good idea to contact the shipping companies directly with any questions or concerns you may have about the shipment process.

We offer:

  • Safe, secure shipping
  • State-of-the-art loading equipment and trucks
  • Competitive rates for door-to-door motorcycle transport
  • Instant quotes online or via phone
  • Instant online tracking of your shipment in some cases
  • Reliable and specialized motorcycle shipping since 1983

Two Kinds of Motorcycle Shipping

Our premium service is palletized motorcycle shipping. This is when your motorcycle is secured to a pallet/skid and loaded onto a truck with a forklift. While this service uses the utmost care in transport where your motorcycle is shipped in an enclosed truck, the other option is non-palletized (our standard service) where your motorcycle is transported in a trailer. Both are safe options. If you’re going to ship a motorcycle to California (or from California), either method will work. When you use our calculator, if there is only one option on the price, that means it’s ONLY Palletized.

Palletized Motorcycle Shipping

ship motorcycle to california on pallet

Your motorcycle gets top-notch care and attention with our palletized shipping option. We secure your bike to a pallet and ship it in an enclosed air ride trailer. The shipment takes between seven and 14 days.

Online tracking is available with this service. This is good for owners of specialty or high-end cycles and vintage or classic bikes.

  • Door-to-Door
  • Door-to-Terminal
  • Terminal-to-Terminal
  • Terminal-to-Door

Daily same-day drop-off shipping is only available at one of our terminals. You must place an order first to get your booking number.

Non-Palletized Motorcycle Shipping

ship motorcycle to california in a trailer

This is our standard shipping method. It is less expensive compared to palletized shipping. Your motorcycle will be secured to the trailer.

These shipments take a bit longer to load, as the in-transit times are shorter since the trucking routes through the main cities are more direct. Your cycle is strapped to eye bolts on the floor of the truck. We do not offer online tracking with this method.
