How To Find the Right Motorcycle Transport Company

Sometimes, you need to transport your motorcycle a longer distance than you’re willing to ride. Maybe it’s a move in the middle of winter, or it’s too far to travel in the time available. Whatever the reason, you need a reliable company to ship your bike. Here’s how to find the right motorcycle transport company.

What You Should Consider

You want your motorcycle to arrive at the destination safely and in one piece. It’s not about finding the cheapest transport costs; it’s about finding a reputable insured and licensed company.

It’s also crucial to understand the type of transfer. Check to see what type of tie-downs the company uses, whether the bikes get covered during transport, and whether there’s plenty of room between motorcycles to maneuver them safely. This information is especially vital for specialty motorcycles because owners want to ensure that the bikes remain adequately secured during transport and don’t sustain damage.

What To Look For in a Company

When looking for a reliable transport company, online reviews are a fantastic resource and tool to use. Read the online reviews to see what other customers have to say about their experience. While all businesses make mistakes, you can look for a pattern of happy customers versus upset ones. You should also keep an eye out if a particular type of shipping is a problem. Perhaps a particular company excels with most motorcycles but has difficulty with specialty bikes.

Ensure the transport company provides you with a written quote, which should detail all the transport expenses of your bike. It should have fees, such as optional insurance and tolls. Also, the company should include discounts so that there’s no confusion. If you find a quote light on details, there’s more room for surprise fees when they deliver your motorcycle.

Average Motorcycle Transport Cost

There are a few factors that change the price of motorcycle transport. The less distance, the less you can expect to pay. Shorter distance shipping needs cost around $200 to $300, on average. Typically, any motorcycle shipped over 1,000 miles will pay a per-mile fee rather than a flat fee.
