Prepare Your Motorcycle for Shipment
Do it before the carrier comes to pick it up.
Pick Your Motorcycle Up When Delivered
Check it for damage and confirm the delivery.
Carrier
Type
Carriers offer 2 delivery options: open delivery and enclosed delivery. While open auto transport is cheaper, it might not be very safe for your vehicle as it’s exposed to the weather and road conditions. Enclosed auto transport is safer but costs more.
Vehicle
Specifications
The size, weight, and condition of your vehicle also affect the shipping cost. Shipping heavy and large vehicles requires more effort, so you can expect to pay more. Small and light motorcycle transportation cost is more affordable.
Distance
& Location
The distance and location for motorcycle shipping can vary greatly depending on your specific needs and circumstances. Long-distance motorcycle shipping will cost more than short-distance one as fuel charges and labor costs add up to the final bill. Transporting your vehicle to major cities is usually less expensive since they are easy to reach, unlike rural areas.

Terminal-to-terminal vehicle shipping is a cost-effective way to transport your vehicle. By choosing this method, you must drop off your vehicle at the terminal nearest the pickup location and pick it up at the terminal closest to the delivery location.
For interstate shipment, you must prepare documents that prove the motorcycle belongs to you. The required documents are vehicle registration information, a copy of your motorcycle insurance, the original vehicle title, and an unexpired driver’s license or passport.
