Do you just love to hit the highway on your Harley – or never miss Bike Night at your favorite hangout? If weekends find you in the middle of the pack with friends in your bike club, then it’s official – you’re wild about hogs. Now if you’re moving, or headed to college, or making a job change – and need to get your bike there.
Or maybe you finally found the new motorcycle you wanted online, or bought a Kawasaki and need a reliable way to get it to your new place. It means you need a transport company with the experience and the know-how of motorcycle shipping services.
How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle?
The cost for motorcycle shippers is ~$1.40 per mile for 1-500 miles. So, a 350 mile trip would cost $490. The longer the distance, the lower the price in auto transport: Shipping motorcycles ~1000 miles drops it to $1 a mile, or $100. Coast-to-coast shipping can be as little as $.60 cents per mile. A shipping quote can vary based on proximity of pickup and drop-off to major highways, open vs. enclosed motorcycle transport, and seasonal demand. Enclosed motorcycle shipping is 40-60% more than on a standard open trailer, and express motorcycle shipping is a 30% premium.
Our Quick Quote system offers you an instant, onscreen set of prices and options, which are all-inclusive for all your auto transport needs. Fully transparent pricing, with no hidden fees, surcharges or surprises during the entire shipment. As a broker, we don’t ask your name or phone number unless you want to book the order -- so you can check pricing anonymously, and there are no pesky follow-up calls. We send a simple email to document your quote, in case you wish to book later. And we guarantee that price a full 14 days: that’s 2x the norm of other motorcycle shipping companies. Our motorcycle transport quote is all-inclusive. 100% insurance, no deductible. No surcharges, taxes or hidden fees.
Just transparency and service during the entire auto transport. Our trailers will either load your motorcycle on an Open or Enclosed trailer. They are equipped with the right equipment to secure your motorcycle without needing to have a custom pallet available to load your bike.
“I was accepted at USC and I was even more excited that I was gonna be able to take my motorcycle and ride, due to the great weather in SoCal. Having a parking permit for a car is both expensive and sometimes difficult to get, so it was great to have a motorcycle instead. I was on a limited budget and the coordinator gave me options. I chose the open trailer option. Although the motorcycle arrived a bit dirty, I was happy because I saved a bunch of money.” Noah Valentis, 2007 Yamaha V-Max, Dallas to Los Angeles
How long does shipping a motorcycle take?
Motorcycle delivery takes between 1-6 calendar days from the date a bike is picked up to when it’s dropped off. A truck driver usually covers about 500 miles per day. The first available pickup date is for motorcycle transport is typically 2-7 business days after an order is placed, and express motorcycle transport is usually available within 24-72 hours.
Just like price, when you move a motorcycle or atv the distance can affect the time frame. Another consideration is the time of year, because bad weather can cause delays. Peak seasons can increase the length of time it takes for motorcycle shippers to deliver as well. But in general, our on-time record is better than that of most airlines. For a typical timeline, we’ve created a handy little chart.
And when your motorcycle or atv absolutely positively has to be picked up by a certain date – or dropped off with a buyer, an auction or at any other location you choose by a drop-dead date, we make it happen. When you chose express shipping, you get to choose whichever date you want us to guarantee, and in the unlikely event we don’t meet our commitment for any reason we stand behind it by (a) refunding the difference in premium between standard and express, and (b) giving you a $100 credit against the basic cost, out of our own pocket. We know of no other motorcycle transport service that does this.

When is enclosed motorcycle delivery recommended?
When is enclosed motorcycle delivery recommended? While open motorcycle shippers are totally fine for 8 out of 10 motorcycle transports, there are occasions when enclosed motorcycle shipping could be worth the additional expense. We can’t imagine shipping a 1925 BMW R42 in any other way.
So if you’re thinking, “I want to ship my motorcycle in an enclosed carrier,” we can advise you on whether it makes sense, or whether we can save you money with standard shipping.
Drivers of enclosed trailers, many of whom are quite experienced in high-end motorcycle moving, give your bike the extra attention it wants. Occasionally such white glove treatment is warranted: such as for customers who just buy or sell an expensive classic motorcycle at Mecum, Bonhams, Bator – or those who are transporting one or more units to a fundraiser, a show or other event. But for the majority of auto transport and purchases, such as when you find a great chopper, hog or scooter on eBay, standard shipping will likely be more than satisfactory, as will the savings.
“I found this motorcycle on cycletrader.com and it was nicer than any bike I could find here in Chicago. The price was right, so I bought it. I couldn’t imagine riding a Ducati 1,700 miles across the country, so I wanted it transported, but on an enclosed trailer. Easy Car Shipping gave me a great deal, and had it picked up over the holiday weekend. The bike was delivered safely and all my friends are jealous of the great deal I got.” Adam Lorax, 2012 Ducati Monster 1100, Glendale, CA to Chicago IL

“I’m from England and I buy and sell vintage motorcycles on eBay as a part-time job. I normally don’t buy them on the West Coast because it’s too difficult to get them transported to New Jersey. The seller recommended I call Easy Car Shipping because they most likely could help me. They were very helpful, even though the motorcycle was inoperable. They made sure the driver had picked up the Title for the motorcycle and they got the motorcycle delivered in under 7 days, which helped me fill the container and get it on the next cargo ship coming to the U.K.” Renny Swinton, 1973 Honda CL 360, Fullerton CA to Jersey City, NJ
