Type of Motorcycle Shipping Service

We offer a wide range of motorcycle shipping services. Before choosing one, first understand the type of

services and select one that best matches your shipping needs.

Enclosed Shipping

In this service, we ship motorcycles in enclosed trailers. It's a more secure option as it provides additional protection during shipping. Motorbikes can't be shipped on an open-air trailer, as they are designed to ship vehicles, not bikes. Enclosed transport is particularly beneficial for shipping motorcycles, luxury, classic, and collectible cars. However, the type of service is not a concern while shipping with Allstate, as our experts strictly follow safety standards that enhance shipping safety.

Terminal-to-Terminal Shipping

This service allows you to send your equipment from one shipping terminal to another. In this service, it's your responsibility to deliver the bike to the pickup terminal and receive it from the delivery terminal. 
Our assigned carrier will collect it and deliver it to the designated terminals. Please stay in touch with our shipping experts to stay updated about the expected delivery time, so you can make arrangements accordingly.
 

Expedited Shipping

This service is best if you are in a hurry and need urgent pickup for your motorcycle. In this type of shipping, we do pickup on an urgent basis, within 12 hours of order confirmation.  It may cost you more than regular standard shipping, but it will save your time.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Shipping

The factors to consider while calculating the cost to ship a motorcycle are

Distance

It is one of the most important factors affecting shipping costs. As the shipping distance increases, the price also increases because more fuel is consumed and
more time is allocated for longer-distance shipments, resulting in a higher total cost compared to shorter-distance moves.

Motorcycle Type

The weight and size of a bike significantly affect shipping prices. Heavier bikes occupy more space on the shipping trailer, and
sometimes additional efforts and equipment are required for transport, resulting in higher shipping costs. Shipping a standard-sized motorcycle costs less due to its smaller size and lighter weight
compared to a heavier bike. It specifies how size and weight affect the prices.

Location of pickup and delivery

The location of pickup and drop-off is crucial in determining shipping costs. If either the pickup or delivery location is situated in a remote area, such as a rural
region or a location far from a central city or highway junction. In that case, the price will be higher than that for urban areas. 
It clarifies that when the pickup and drop-off locations are easily accessible, the cost will be lower compared to locations that require more resources to approach.

Seasonal impact

Shipping a bike during peak season will be more expensive than shipping it during the off-season. Summer is not an ideal time if you have a limited budget for shipping. The off-season is a cost-effective time to ship a motorcycle, as lower demand results in lower prices.

What is the Safest way to Ship a Motorcycle?

We offer a wide range of motorcycle shipping services. Before choosing one, first understand the type of services and select one
that best matches your shipping needs. 

Prepare Your Motorcycle

Please follow these guidelines to prepare the motorcycle for shipping, as they ensure more safety and avoid uncertainty during transportation.
1. Clean your motorcycle thoroughly.
2. Remove any personal belongings, such as helmets, gloves, and glasses.
3. Disconnect the battery connection from the electrical system.
4. Drain the fuel from the bike tank before pickup.
 

Enclosed Carrier

Enclosed shipping is safer than other methods. Motorcycles are shipped exclusively in enclosed trailers. The loading body of these trailers consists of an iron box
shield that protects motorcycles from the external environment during shipping.

Door-to-Door Shipping

Door-to-door auto transport is the most recommended method for transporting bikes and vehicles, as it saves customers time and effort, providing added
convenience and safety.

How to Save Money on Motorcycle Shipping

1 Book Orders in Advance

Schedule your order two to three weeks before the shipping date with the carrier.

2 Be flexible with pickup dates

Flexibility regarding pickup dates allows you to secure a low shipping rate, as it's based on availability and not a priority.

3 Off-Season Shipping

Ship in the off-season to save money on shipping a motorcycle, as the peak season, especially summer, is not a cost-effective time for shipping.

4 Terminal-to-terminal shipping

It enables you to avail of shipping at a lower expense compared to door-to-door shipping.
