Motorcycle shipping services made easy

How much do door-to-door transportation services cost?

Nationwide motorcycle shipping has never been easier with Montway Auto Transport. We offer two types of motorcycle transport services to our customers: Door-to-Door (home delivery) and shipping between distribution centers. Home delivery (Door-to-Door) transport is the most common and preferred customer solution.

When shipping a motorcycle door-to-door, our assigned carrier will arrive at your location and load your motorcycle onto patented metal skids and specialized platforms made specifically for transporting motorcycles, scooters and ATV’s.

You will not need to drain any fluids or disconnect your battery. Our motorcycle shipping process allows your motorcycle to be transported with little to no prior maintenance required.

How Does Shipping a Motorcycle Work?

Step 1

Get a quote and book your order
Due to the many different types of motorcycles, we recommend speaking with our team to make sure we have all the details for your move. Give us a call at (888) 989-8526 or chat with a Montway representative online. Our motorcycle transport specialists will go over the shipping process and provide you with a customized shipping quote.

Step 2

Prepare your motorcycle for transport

  • 3/4 Tank of gas or less
  • Charge the battery (not required, but recommended)
  • Thoroughly clean your motorcycle (not required, but recommended)
  • Tires properly Inflated
  • Check and repair fluid leaks
  • Make sure the motorcycle is capable of rolling
  • Steering column is unlocked
  • Fold all mirrors (if applicable)
  • Keys and paperwork (i.e. bill of sale and title) cannot be shipped with the motorcycle
  • No personal items can be shipped (helmets, GPS units, video cameras, etc.) and should be removed prior to shipping

Step 3

Motorcycle pick up and delivery
If you’re looking for a more cost-effective way to ship your motorcycle, we recommend using one of many nationwide distribution centers. Customers can save on their shipping costs when taking advantage of these locations. It also provides added convenience when planning your move. If you are planning on using a distribution center, give us a call at (888) 989-8526 or chat with a Montway representative online to schedule your motorcycle transport.

Motorcycle shipping and seasonal demand

While most companies base their pricing estimates for transport services in relation to seasonal market demand, Montway Auto Transport provides you with a set price not directly influenced by typical demand fluctuations.

Montway is able to negotiate discounted and set rates with the premier motorcycle shippers. These reduced prices are directly passed on to you to keep your rates low, while ensuring your motorcycle is transported with a top-tier shipper who will take extra care with your transport.

At Montway, we strive to provide our customers with the best year-round pricing and only work with premium motorcycle shippers delivering the highest service standard.

Shipping a motorcycle with a sidecar

With powersport and motorcycle shipping recently becoming much more popular, we have transport service options for sidecars when required. Depending on the size of your sidecar, a small surcharge of approximately $200-$300 will be added to your motorcycle shipping quote.

Only have a sidecar to ship? Montway Auto Transport can arrange safe and secure sidecar shipment using the same safety checks and standards practiced with our motorcycle transport.

Why should I transport my motorcycle with Montway?

At Montway Auto Transport, we have built a reputation as the industry-leader in vehicle transport. With more than 15 years of experience, we are the number one provider for many of the world’s largest OEM manufacturers, transporting more than 200,000 cars and motorcycles annually. Not only are most of our shipments picked up from and delivered straight to your door, we make shipping your motorcycle “hassle free”, with no fluid drainage or battery disconnection required.

While some motorcycle shippers leave you in the dark, with no visibility into the status of your shipment, Montway keeps you updated with tracking progress throughout your transport. In order to ensure special care of your motorcycle, we use enclosed transport carriers with patented metal skids and specialized shipping platforms for your vehicle transport.

For a more economical shipping option, we also offer motorcycle shipping between distribution centers. Dropping your motorcycle off at one of our many distribution centers saves both time and money. Customers can save up to 30% off total transport costs when taking advantage of distribution drop off vs. selecting a guaranteed carrier pick-up date.

Additionally, choosing motorcycle drop off provides increased convenience when planning your move. Easily schedule a day and time at your convenience by making a quick phone call (888) 666-8929 to coordinate dropping off your motorcycle at your nearest distribution center.

Motorcycle shipping FAQs

What is the average price to ship a motorcycle?
The average cost of shipping a motorcycle can vary based on several factors, such as the distance, type of transport method, specific motorcycle model, pickup and delivery locations and even the time of year. On average, shipping a motorcycle less than 800 miles will cost approximately $680.
The cheapest way to ship a motorcycle is typically between distribution centers. While using this method may save you money, it may not be the most convenient option if your pickup and delivery locations are not near a distribution center. Working with a motorcycle transport expert like Montway can help you secure a fair price without compromising quality service. Montway negotiates discounted rates with premier motorcycle shippers and passes these savings on to customers.
The answer really depends on your budget and amount of free time. Opting for a professional service to move your motorcycle could be a more valuable option, rather than personally transporting it or riding it across the country. To make sure you’re getting both the best price and service, research a few shipping companies and compare their rates and reputation. You can obtain a free customized quote from Montway by calling 888-989-8526.
Motorcycle shipping is best left in the hands of professionals with expertise in this type of vehicle transportation. Professional motorcycle shippers have the knowledge, skills and specialized equipment to safely load, transport and unload your prized possessions. Companies such as Montway offer convenient door-to-door service and will handle all the logistics, reducing your stress and saving you time.
When using Montway for your motorcycle shipping, we recommend that you clean your motorcycle for easy inspections, remove personal items, have tires properly inflated, repair any fluid leaks, keep gas around 1/4 tank and unlock the steering column.
A number of considerations will impact how much you can expect to pay for shipping your bike. These include transport distance, locations, time of year, motorcycle make and model. Distance is the main factor in calculating costs as most transport companies charge a specific fee per mile. Long-distance trips typically have a lower rate per mile but will cost more in total. For an accurate cost, call Montway at 888-989-8526 for a quote based on your exact motorcycle type and transport details.
