Key benefits that make us the trusted choice for bikers who value clear pricing, managed, quick, and fully insured motorcycle transport:
Motorcycle transport management company
Shipping a motorcycle can feel a little challenging at first, especially when you’ve never arranged moto transportation services before. As a reputable motorcycle transport company, we stay by your side throughout the entire process from pick-up planning through secure transport and delivery, so you know what happens at each stage. Tell us what motorcycle you need moved and where it’s going, and we’ll coordinate the rest.
Fair market pricing
Our motorcycle shipping rates reflect the real cost of shipping a motorcycle based on current market demand and actual truck availability on your route. This helps ensure competitive rates for motorcycle hauling without unrealistic low quotes or hidden fees that leave you paying more at the end.
Guaranteed pick-up & expedited shipment
When you need your motorcycle picked up on a particular date, guaranteed pick-up service helps secure a confirmed date for your pick-up, rather than leaving timing open-ended. For tighter schedules, expedited motorcycle shipping prioritizes your bike so it can be assigned and collected within 24-48 hours.
Full insurance coverage
Your motorcycle is supported by a structured protection process, including detailed motorcycle transportation insurance documentation, thorough pick-up and delivery inspections, and dedicated assistance with trucker insurance if any coverage questions come up during your motorcycle delivery.
Motorcycle Shipping
From long-distance moves to online motorcycle purchases, shipping your bike can be safer and easier than riding it yourself.
If you choose to transport a motorbike, you enjoy several benefits, including:
Shipping eliminates the need for a long, potentially arduous, and potentially dangerous road trip. This saves time and effort and lets you focus on other aspects of your move or travel plans.
Long-distance riding leads to additional wear and tear on your motorcycle. Shipping protects your bike from the elements, road hazards, and the general stress of a long journey.
Enclosed shipping provides the highest level of protection, shielding your motorcycle from weather, debris, and potential damage during transport.
Knowing your motorcycle is in the hands of experienced professionals provides significant peace of mind. Reputable motorcycle shipping companies also offer insurance coverage to protect your investment in case of unforeseen incidents.
By entrusting your motorcycle to professional motorcycle haulers, you free up your time and energy to focus on other things, such as packing, finding accommodation, or simply relaxing.

We assign a fully vetted and insured carrier specializing in motorcycle transport to handle your shipment. They pick up your bike as close as safely and legally possible to your specified location.
The trucker contacts you in advance to inform you of their estimated arrival time. Upon arrival, thoroughly inspect your bike to confirm its condition and sign to complete the motorbike delivery service.
We make motorcycle shipping easier with trusted truckers, clear updates, and enclosed transport at open fair prices
Arrange your motorcycle transporting without paying before the transport is actually set up. You pay nothing until we assign a motorcycle moving truck, giving you a clearer and more flexible way to book.
Plans can change quickly, especially when you’re arranging door-to-door motorbike shipping around travel, a move, or a bike purchase. That’s why we offer free cancellation before a truck is assigned to your enclosed motorcycle shipping, giving you the flexibility to adjust your booking without an added cancellation cost.
We manage a network of over 20,000 fully vetted, licensed, and insured carriers through the USDOT and FMCSA. Each one is carefully chosen based on its official rating, past performance, and our direct experience working with them. This gives you confidence that your motorcycle is handled safely and reliably by trusted motorcycle transporters.
Receive timely updates throughout your shipment, from pick-up scheduling through transit progress and delivery. We keep the communication moving with real-time updates, so you know when your bike will be picked up, where it is during transit, and when your motorcycle moving service is expected to be completed.
We offer flexible motorcycle haulage options, and our dedicated shipping experts can tailor the service around your motorcycle, route, timing, and pick-up needs. For example, we can arrange expedited motorcycle transport for last-minute plans, or guaranteed pick-up if you need your bike collected on a specific date. Discuss your requirements with our team, and we’ll make the right arrangements with trusted motorcycle movers.
You get access to support whenever questions come up, not just during standard business hours. Our dedicated shipping experts help coordinate your motorcycle transport, answer questions, and keep you informed before, during, and after your shipment.

| Distance | Estimated shipping time |

| Motorcycle shipping method | How it works | Best for | Things to consider |
|---|---|---|---|
| RORO/uncrated motorcycle shipping | The motorcycle is rolled into the trailer, secured inside, and rolled off at delivery without being placed in a crate or on a pallet | Nationwide motorcycle shipping, interstate moves, online purchases, private sales, dealership moves, and relocations | This is the method we use and recommend it because it’s efficient, widely used, and works especially well with enclosed motorcycle trailers |
| Crated motorcycle shipping | The motorcycle is placed inside a crate before transport | Some freight, overseas, or specialist shipping situations where a bike needs extra physical separation | Crating can add cost, preparation time, and extra handling. It’s not usually the most convenient option for standard nationwide motorcycle transport |
| Pallet motorcycle shipping | The motorcycle is fastened to a pallet before being loaded for transport | Some freight-style shipments or cases where the bike needs a fixed base during transport | Pallet shipping can offer stability, but it may take longer to load and unload, and is not the method we use for motorcycle shipping |
* Please keep in mind that the prices are for an open car transport carrier and a small-size vehicle, and that both transit times and shipping prices shown are approximate estimates. Actual costs and delivery times may vary based on factors such as seasonal demand, fuel prices, pick-up and delivery locations, transport type, weather conditions, road conditions, carrier availability, etc.
| Feature | Open motorcycle transport | Enclosed motorcycle transport |
|---|---|---|
| Protection | Exposes the motorcycle to weather, dust, road debris, and outside conditions | Helps protect the motorcycle from weather, road debris, and outside exposure |
| Availability | Harder to arrange because many open trailers are set up for cars, not motorcycles, and fewer truckers accept bikes | Easier to arrange because enclosed motorcycle trailers are better suited to loading, securing, and transporting bikes |
| Fit and loading | Motorcycles can be difficult to fit safely on open car trailers, especially when space is limited | The bike can be secured inside the trailer using equipment better suited to motorcycle transport |
| Cost | Often assumed to be cheaper, but it may not offer the same value, availability, and protection | With WSC, enclosed transport is offered for the same price as open transport |
| Best for | Limited situations where a rider is comfortable with more exposure and availability issues | Most nationwide motorcycle shipments, including daily rides, cruisers, touring bikes, sport bikes, vintage motorcycles, and collector bikes |
| WSC recommendation | Not recommended by us for motorcycle shipping | Recommended by us for safe, more practical nationwide motorcycle transport |

| Type of motorcycle | Examples | Shipping notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cruisers | Harley-Davidson, Indian, Yamaha V Star, Honda Shadow | Often heavier than standard bikes, so they need careful loading and secure positioning inside the enclosed trailer |
| Touring motorcycles | Honda Gold Wing, Harley-Davidson Road Glide, BMW K 1600 | Larger frames, saddlebags, and added accessories should be noted when getting a motorcycle shipping quote |
| Sport bikes | Yamaha R1, Kawasaki Ninja, Suzuki GSX-R, Ducati Panigale | Lower profiles and fairings require careful handling during loading, securing, and unloading |
| Standard motorcycles | Honda CB, Yamaha MT, Triumph Bonneville, Suzuki SV650 | Commonly shipped nationwide for relocations, private sales, dealership transfers, and online purchases |
| Dirt bikes | Honda CRF, Yamaha YZ, Kawasaki KX, KTM SX | Lightweight and compact, but they still need proper securing to prevent movement during transport |
| Dual-sport bikes | Suzuki DR-Z, Kawasaki KLR, Honda CRF Rally, KTM Adventure | Built for road and trail use, these bikes may have taller frames or added accessories to account for |
| Adventure bikes | BMW GS, KTM Adventure, Honda Africa Twin, Triumph Tiger | Taller height, side cases, and wider handlebars should be included when arranging motorcycle transport |
| Vintage motorcycles | Classic Triumph, Norton, BSA, older Harley-Davidson models | Older motorcycles may need extra care during loading, especially if parts, paintwork, or controls are delicate |
| Custom motorcycles | Choppers, bobbers, café racers, one-off builds | Modified frames, custom paint, extended forks, or non-standard dimensions should be shared before transport |
| Scooters and mopeds | Vespa, Piaggio, Honda Metropolitan, Yamaha Zuma | Smaller two-wheelers can be shipped enclosed, but size, weight, and running condition still matter |
| Electric motorcycles | Zero, LiveWire, Energica, Ryvid | Battery level, charging details, and manufacturer guidance should be checked before pick-up |
| Trikes and three-wheel motorcycles | Can-Am Spyder, Harley-Davidson Tri Glide, Polaris Slingshot | Wider dimensions may require special trailer availability, so accurate measurements are important |

Every rider has a different reason for shipping a motorcycle. You might be relocating, buying a bike online, sending a motorcycle to a new owner, planning a seasonal move, attending a rally, or arranging transport for a vintage or collector model. We help match your shipping service to the reason behind the move, while keeping the process simple, enclosed, and carefully managed.
Seasonal riders often need shipping when moving between northern and southern states. Instead of riding long distances in changing weather, you can arrange enclosed motorcycle transport and have your bike shipped while you travel separately. This is especially useful for snowbird routes during spring and fall, when many riders move between warmer and cooler regions.
We help active-duty military personnel, veterans, and military families arrange motorcycle shipping for PCS moves, relocations, and other service-related transport needs. Timelines can be tight, so our team helps coordinate pick-up, truck availability, and delivery details as clearly as possible. Military discounts may also be available depending on the shipment.
If you bought a motorcycle from a dealer, auction, or private seller in another state, we can help arrange enclosed shipping from the seller’s location to your chosen delivery point. A Bill of Lading inspection is completed at pick-up and delivery, giving you a written record of the motorcycle’s condition before and after transport.
Vintage, classic, custom, and collector motorcycles often need extra care during transport. Enclosed RORO motorcycle transportation helps protect older paintwork, chrome, accessories, and hard-to-replace parts from weather, road debris, and outside exposure. We only arrange enclosed motorcycle transport, making it a strong option for bikes that need added protection.
We can also help dealerships, collectors, and private sellers arrange transport for more than one motorcycle. Multi-bike shipping can be useful for inventory moves, auction purchases, event deliveries, and private collections. Discounts may be available for additional motorcycles on the same shipment, depending on the route, timing, and truck availability.
It depends on your route, timing, motorcycle size, truck availability, and how quickly you need the shipment arranged. Motorcycle shipping costs can vary, but professional transport often makes more sense than handling the move yourself, especially once you factor in travel time, fuel, extra mileage, and the added hassle of getting the bike from one place to another.
With WeShipCars, you also don’t have to pay more for enclosed motorcycle transport. We offer enclosed transport for a motorcycle at the same price as open shipping, giving your bike added protection without increasing the cost. Our team works with trusted carriers to find competitive rates while keeping the process straightforward, secure, and easier to manage from pick-up to delivery.
The best way to transport a motorcycle is to entrust your prized possession to the professionals at WeShipCars:
