The major factor is the distance to be covered before such motorcycle can be delivered. For instance, Las Vegas – Los Angeles shipping can take about 2-4days. However, international shipping of motorcycle can take around 14 days. 

In a situation whereby you want the motorcycle to be delivered as soon as possible, contact us for a quote. Just be very specific about the timeframe to enable us know the exact quote.

Motorcycle shipping cost depends on some factors that will be highlighted and explained below. 

Distance

The longer the distance, the higher your charges. 

Weight 

Motorcycles that are heavier will attracting more shipping charges. This is because trucks usually have limited capacity in terms of weight. 

Destination 

If you are shipping your motorcycle to a remote area, it will cost more as compared to when such is being shipped to a city. 

Size

If your bike is unusually large, expected to pay more for its shipping fees. 

Season

Fewer cars are shipped during winter season as compared to summer when shipping companies experience very high demand. Shipping costs in the latter season are usually higher than the former. 

Delivery

If you choose door-to-door service, your shipping cost will be higher as compared to terminal-to-terminal service. The former is more convenient though since the bike will be shipped to your doorstep. 

Timeline

In a situation whereby you can’t pick up the bike after its arrival, such can attract additional charges. 

One of the things you can do is choose the terminal-to-terminal option. With this, you will incur lesser shipping cost. Also, take advantage of open transport method even though your bike will be exposed to dangers on the road. These are the two ways of reducing your shipping cost.

This is when your bike is delivered at the closest terminal or depot. It means you will have to go to such location and have it picked up. Terminal-to-terminal shipping is recommended when you have a tight budget. 

The motorcycle is loaded onto a truck (carrier) together with other bikes. You may suffer the stress of going to pick it up especially when you are residing in a remote location. However, you will save some money eventually. Just locate the terminal and have your bike picked up from there after it has been delivered.

The topic of shipping your bike safely is very important especially when it is very expensive or of high value. In this case, you want it to be in the most perfection condition like when it was shipped. There are two options you can explore here. These will be explained below. 

Enclosed Transport

In this method, your motorcycle is going to be loaded onto a carrier which has hard walls as well as ceiling. With this, it will be protected against rain, hail snow, debris and other forms of road hazards. 

Crated Transport

In case you are concerned about your bike’s safety, it will be loaded on a pallet as well as crated up. After that, it will then be loaded on a shipping truck. Although you are likely to spend more by exploring this option, you bike will be 100% safe.

There are two main factors to take into consideration while choosing a trailer that can transport your bike. These are your shipping needs and cost. For instance, your motorcycle will be very safe when you add more protection. Note that this can also make you spend more in terms of shipping expenses. 

Motorcycle shippers usually have the open-air trailers. These are cost-effective since you will be spending less as compared to enclosed trailer options. However, your bike may be exposed dangers on the road. 

If your budget is low, it is recommended to choose open-air trailer. Please note that there are times when their prices can increase since many people make use of them for their shipping needs. 

At Auto Moving Network, there are no limitations or restrictions with regards to your preferred location. This means your motorcycle can be shipped to anywhere. It could be locally, inter-state, or internationally. It will be delivered to your preferred location. 

Remember that when you choose door-to-door delivery option and your street is very tight for our carrier to pass through, another pick-up location will be arranged. You will be updated about this one. 

Oversea shipping has too many complications. For instance, importation laws vary with countries. Before your motorcycle can be shipped, its paperwork and tax records need to be accurate. Again, there is no need to bother about all of these as we can handle them for you. 

This is very important since you will need to get the bill of lading signed. This is a document which shows that the motorcycle has been delivered in the expected condition. In case you are not available, you can choose a representative to handle the signing process. 

If you or any representative won’t be around, inform us on time for another delivery date to be rescheduled. Vehicles will not be released to any person who hasn’t been authorized to represent you. 

We are always working round the clock to meet your expectations. This includes meeting up with your delivery date and time. However, if we can’t deliver your motorcycle within such time, expect it within 2-3days. 

It is very difficult to predict when a bike will be delivered since there are factors that we cannot control. These could be traffic, unfavorable weather conditions, driving time limits as stipulated by (DOT) Department of Transportation and many others. According to DOT, drivers shouldn’t go beyond 500miles in 24hours. 

For more convenient delivery, it is recommended you choose our door-to-door services. This may cost you more but it is worth it.

Never make the mistake of booking very late. It is better to book very early to enable quick delivery of your motorcycle. This can also make you pay less as shipping fees. Waiting too long before booking can lead to delay since carriers may not be available. 

For a smooth shipping process, it is very important that your motorcycle is prepared. This will protect it from any form of damage. Below are some steps you can take: 

• Fluids should be drained completely 
• Your fuel tank should only contain ¼ gas
• Alarm system on the bike should be disabled
• The battery should be disconnected 
• Cleaning the bike to remove excess debris, grease, and grime
• Handlebars should be removed if you want to make use of a crate 
• Pictures of the bike’s condition must be taken in case you need to make any references in the future
• Before having it loaded, ensure the bike is sound mechanically

These steps will ensure that your bike is safe during the delivery process. With them, its delivery will be hitch-free. 

There are two ways you can go about this. Doing it by yourself or allowing a transport company to help out. Although the first option will help you to save money, a professional company can do a better job when it comes to crating bikes. They will ensure your bike is protected from danger. 

In order to crate a motorbike, the first thing to do is have a pallet or skid attached. The next is to have it fastened in a secured manner. Such will enable your bike enclosed within the crate. After that, the crate will then get loaded onto a shipping carrier. This is another way of ensuring it remains intact during the delivery process. 

Of course, there are lots of carriers which render this service. The only thing is that such can add to your overall shipping charges.

This depends on some factors. You have to understand that we partner with different shipping companies. They tend to vary in terms of discounts and promotions. Although most of them can offer attractive discounts, we cannot guarantee on such. 

In order to know whether you are eligible for any discount, request for our free quotes. Dealers, students, seniors and military personnel can also get reduction in price. 

When you receive a quote from us, such will only remain valid until the end of that business day. The reason for this is that changes may arise which can influence your shipping rate. These could be fuel price increase, demand for our carriers, and others. Due to these factors, we can’t honor any quote that exceeds the business day it was received.  

This is very possible with our satellite tracking system. With this technology, you can easily get real-time data/information about the location of your motorcycle. It can be used on devices like tablets, phones, and computers. So long as your device is connected to the internet, you will receive updated information about your bike’s location.

Yes, we have insurance policy that covers your bike. As stipulated by the law, every motorcycle shipping company should have insurance policy in place. This simply implies that your bike is protected from any unforeseen event that may arise while it is in transit. 

In case you discovered that your bike has been damaged during delivery, contact our support team for the claims process to start. The claim will be document before being sent to our auto insurer. You will be adequately informed on whether your bike will be replaced or repaired. 

Most times, transport coverage doesn’t exceed $7,000 for each vehicle. This is why you need to purchase additional coverage from your insurance company. This will offer your bike more protection. 

This is not allowed as only the bike has to be shipped. If you have any other extra part, ensure such is separately shipped. It could be keys, boxes, paperwork, and unsecure parts. 

It is possible for your helmet to be shipped along with the bike. Just ensure it has been fastened to the bike. This will ensure it doesn’t get missing while being transported. 

The enclosed transport option is great if you want your bike to have maximum protection while being transported on the road. It is quite different from open air carriers. This is because it is covered on every side with soft or hard materials. This protects your bike against weather and debris. 

This form of transport option is more expensive than open air. However, it is more affordable than crating. It is perfect for protecting your motorcycle especially when it is expensive.

There are times when delays may arise while trying to deliver your bike. These could be due to traffic jam, snow, rainfall, mechanical issues or something else. Whatever the case may be, we will always try to provide you with updates. In such case, there is every chance that your delivery date may be rescheduled. Our satellite tracking system ensures that you will know the location of your shipment. 

There is nothing wrong with shipping two or more of your bikes at once. Afterall, auto transport companies usually ship multiple bikes for different customers. We are prepared to help your bikes get to their destination quickly and safely. Ensure to ask about discounts for bulk shipping.

12-24 hours before your delivery, your carrier will contact you. Although we cannot give you any exact time, a window time can be provided to expect the arrival of your driver. If there is any problem which brings about delays, you will be notified. In such case, another delivery date will be rescheduled.

This is similar to shipping a bike. The only difference is that they have more weight and tend to take more space. This means they are more expensive as compared to shipping a bike. Given the fact that a trike has a very stable base, it is much easier to transport.
