To ship a motorcycle, first choose between an affordable open trailer or a protective enclosed carrier. Prepare the bike by cleaning it, documenting its condition with photos, and reducing the fuel to a quarter tank. After removing loose accessories, you will sign a Bill of Lading with the driver to confirm its current state.
Once the bike arrives, inspect it immediately and note any new damage on the paperwork before the driver leaves to ensure your insurance coverage remains valid.
The cost to ship your motorcycle isn't a one-size-fits-all number; it depends on the specifics of your move. The distance of the trip and the size of your bike are the biggest factors, but we also look at whether you choose open or enclosed transport. Other details, like whether the bike currently runs, the time of year you're shipping, and how remote your pickup and delivery spots are, will also play a role in the final price.
| Distance | Type of Transport | Avg. Price per Mile | Sample Distance | Sample Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 700 miles | Enclosed | $1.42 | 700 miles | $995 |
| 800 – 1499 miles | Enclosed | $0.84 | 1300 miles | $1095 |
| 1500 – 2399 miles | Enclosed | $0.54 | 2200 miles | $1179 |
| 2400+ miles | Enclosed | $0.41 | 3000 miles | $1239 |
The average per-mile rates listed above are based on current market conditions as of 2026. Pricing may fluctuate due to factors such as seasonal demand, fuel costs, pickup and delivery locations, and other variables.
