Purpose-built handling for bikes of every size — cruisers, sport bikes, touring rigs, and vintage motorcycles alike.
Motorcycles ship differently from cars — they're either loaded into a dedicated motorcycle crate/trailer or secured upright using specialized wheel chocks and soft-strap tie-downs designed not to damage paint, chrome, or plastics. Some shipments move alongside cars on a standard open or enclosed car carrier with motorcycle-specific securing points; others move on trailers dedicated entirely to bikes, which is common for shows, rallies, and dealer transfers.
Both are available. Open transport is the more affordable, widely available option and is perfectly safe for most bikes. Enclosed transport is worth considering for vintage, custom, or high-value motorcycles where weather and road debris exposure isn't acceptable.
Distance, bike size/weight, and open vs. enclosed all factor in. Motorcycle shipments are often priced lower than a standard car over the same route since bikes take up less trailer space — but a non-running bike may add a modest handling fee.
Yes — flag it as non-running when you submit your shipment so we match you with a carrier equipped with a lift gate or ramp suited to loading it safely.
Often, yes — most motorcycle shipments share trailer space with cars or other bikes heading the same direction, which is part of what keeps pricing reasonable.
