Reliable Motorcycle Shipping Service | Best Car Shipping Inc.
Professional Motorcycle Shipping Service You Can Trust
Transporting a motorcycle safely requires more than just loading it onto a truck—it takes experience, the right equipment, and a commitment to secure handling. At Best Car Shipping Inc., we offer a motorcycle shipping service that’s designed to meet the needs of riders, collectors, dealerships, and powersport enthusiasts across the U.S.
Whether you’re moving cross-country, selling a bike online, or heading to a rally, we provide dependable shipping tailored specifically for motorcycles of all makes and models.
Why Choose a Professional Motorcycle Shipping Service?
Motorcycles aren’t like cars. They’re lighter, more exposed, and more vulnerable during transit. Using a professional shipping service helps prevent damage and ensures peace of mind throughout the journey.
Specialized Handling
Our trained transporters use motorcycle-specific equipment such as wheel chocks, soft straps, and enclosed crates or lift gates to keep your bike stable and secure.
Door-to-Door Convenience
Skip the hassle of terminal drop-offs. With our door-to-door service, your motorcycle is picked up from your location and delivered exactly where you want it—home, dealership, or event site.
Flexible Shipping Options
Whether you need standard delivery or expedited service, we tailor transport to your schedule and budget.
Types of Motorcycle Shipping Methods
At Best Car Shipping Inc., we offer two primary shipping methods to accommodate various preferences and protection needs:
Open Motorcycle Transport
An economical choice for short-distance shipping or for used bikes, open transport involves securing the motorcycle on an open-air trailer. While exposed to the elements, it is still safely fastened and monitored during transit.
Best for:
- Short hauls
- Non-luxury or frequently used bikes
- Budget-conscious riders
Enclosed Motorcycle Transport
This is the preferred option for high-value, rare, or vintage motorcycles. Bikes are secured inside a fully enclosed trailer or custom crate, protected from weather, road debris, and theft.
Best for:
- Long-distance shipping
- Custom, antique, or showroom-quality motorcycles
- Event-bound bikes

Preparing Your Motorcycle for Shipping
Proper preparation can make a big difference in ensuring a smooth shipping process. Follow these steps before your bike is picked up:
Clean and Inspect
Give your motorcycle a thorough cleaning. Dirt can hide scratches or dents, so a clean surface helps with accurate inspection.
Document Existing Damage
Take high-quality photos of your bike from multiple angles. Make note of any existing damage in case insurance claims are needed later.
Remove Loose Accessories
Detach any loose or aftermarket items like saddlebags, phone holders, or GPS units. These can be easily damaged or lost during transit.
Check Tire Pressure and Fluids
Ensure tires are properly inflated and there are no fluid leaks. This helps with loading and reduces potential hazards.
Leave the Tank Low
Keep only about 1/4 tank of gas. This reduces weight and is a safety measure during transport.
Cost of Motorcycle Shipping
Pricing for our motorcycle shipping service depends on several key factors:
Distance
Longer trips cost more, but the rate per mile typically decreases with distance.
Transport Type
Enclosed transport is more expensive than open transport due to added protection and fewer bikes per load.
Motorcycle Type
Heavier or larger motorcycles may cost more to transport than smaller bikes due to size constraints and equipment requirements.
Season and Demand
Peak moving seasons, such as spring and summer, can influence pricing and availability.
Pro Tip: Book early and consider off-peak dates for better rates.
