2. Select Your Shipping Method: Door-to-Door vs. Terminal to Terminal
At Motorcycle Shippers, we offer two convenient options for getting your bike where it needs to go: door-to-door delivery and terminal-to-terminal transport. Here’s how to choose the best method for your needs.
Door-to-Door Delivery
With our door-to-door service, we pick up your motorcycle from your specified location and deliver it directly to your destination. This is the most convenient option, as it saves you the hassle of traveling to a shipping terminal. It’s perfect for those who want a seamless, hands-off experience from start to finish.
Terminal to Terminal Transport
If you’re looking for quicker option, terminal-to-terminal transport may be a good fit. With this method, you drop off and pick up your motorcycle at designated shipping terminals. While it requires more involvement, it can be a great choice for those who are flexible with their schedule and location.
3. Prepare Your Motorcycle for Shipping
To ensure the smoothest transport possible, it’s important to properly prepare your motorcycle before pick-up.
Steps to Prepare Your Motorcycle
- ✓ Clean Your Bike: Washing your motorcycle helps document any pre-existing scratches or dents.
- ✓ Check for Fluid Leaks: Make sure there are no leaks before transport.
- ✓ Disable Alarms and Secure Loose Parts: Make sure all alarms are turned off and any loose parts like mirrors or saddlebags are securely fastened or removed.
4. How to Schedule Pick-Up and Delivery
Once you’ve chosen the shipping method and prepared your motorcycle, the next step is scheduling pick-up and delivery. At MotorcycleShippers.com, we offer daily pick up options in many areas to help work around your schedule to ensure the process is convenient and stress-free.
5. How Long Does It Take to Ship a Motorcycle?
The time it takes to ship a motorcycle can vary depending on the distance and your specific location. Typically, domestic shipments take anywhere from 7 to 14 days, while some remote area shipments may take longer. If you need faster shipping, we offer VIP motorcycle shipping services for an additional cost.
6. How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Motorcycle?
Shipping costs depend on several factors, including the distance, size of the bike, and transport method (open or enclosed). At Motorcycle Shippers, the average cost to ship a motorcycle ranges between $800 and $1100, with shorter distances often costing even less.
