How Does Motorcycle Shipping Work
3 Easy steps to move your motorcycle
Get a Free Quote & Book
Enter your pickup and delivery ZIP codes, plus your motorcycle’s year, make, and model. We check live rates from licensed carriers on your route and send you quotes with full pricing details. No registration required – takes under 60 seconds. No payment is collected at booking.
Prepare Your Bike & Meet the Driver
After booking, you’ll receive the carrier’s name, DOT number, and driver’s phone number by email and text – typically 1–2 days before pickup. The driver will call 24–48 hours in advance to confirm the exact time. Before pickup: clean the bike, remove loose accessories, secure any covers, and document the condition with photos.
Inspect & Receive Your Motorcycle
At delivery, inspect the motorcycle thoroughly before signing the Bill of Lading. If any new damage is found, photograph it and note it on the document before signing. Contact the carrier’s company immediately – they will provide insurance details and assist with filing a claim. Pay the remaining balance on receipt.

FAQ
Can I ship a motorcycle together with my car?
Motorcycle shipping in the USA typically costs $300–$800 depending on distance, trailer type, and route. Open transport is the most affordable. Enclosed adds 30–40% to the base rate. Cross-country shipments (e.g., NY to CA) average $500–$700. Get an instant quote with your ZIP codes for an exact rate.
Do you ship inoperable motorcycles, ATVs, or UTVs?
We do not recommend shipping a motorcycle on a standard car hauler. Motorcycles require dedicated tie-down systems and trailers designed for two-wheeled vehicles. Shipping on a flatbed with cars increases the risk of damage. Book separate shipments – motorcycle-specific carriers ensure proper securing and full insurance coverage.
Can a sidecar be shipped without the motorcycle?
Yes. Non-running motorcycles and powersports vehicles can be shipped, but the carrier must know the issue before dispatch – dead battery, engine failure, or wheel damage all affect loading equipment requirements. Carriers will bring a ramp, winch, or dolly as needed. An additional fee of $100–$200 typically applies.
Do you ship motorcycles to Hawaii, Alaska, or internationally?
Yes, you can ship a sidecar without a motorcycle, but a special pallet is required to make sure the sidecar will be properly fixed and won’t fall as it has one wheel only. In some cases, the driver can provide you with the one from some extra cost or you can buy it at a local body shop.
What if my motorcycle is damaged during shipping?
Yes. We work with carriers authorized for transport to Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, and international destinations. Hawaii and Guam shipments use door-to-port service with RORO or containerized ocean freight. Alaska routes are available year-round. Contact us for international routing and estimated transit times.
How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle?
Before signing the Bill of Lading at delivery, inspect the motorcycle carefully. If damage is found, photograph it and note it on the document – do not sign without recording the damage. Contact the shipping company immediately. They will provide the carrier's insurance certificate and guide you through the claims process.
