A motorcycle secured for transport with specialized equipment

How motorcycle shipping works

Motorcycle transport uses specialized equipment — wheel chocks, soft straps, and sometimes individual crates — to keep your bike upright and secure, which is very different from how cars are tied down. That handling is why it’s worth using service providers experienced with motorcycles.

Ship economically on open transport, or choose enclosed for custom, vintage, or high-value bikes. CarShipConnect connects you with licensed, insured auto-transport service providers who ship motorcycles.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle?

Motorcycle shipping usually costs less than a car on the same route because bikes take less space and weight, though specialized crating or enclosed transport adds to the price. Request a quote for your exact route.

Is my motorcycle secured properly during transport?

Yes. Motorcycle service providers use purpose-built equipment — wheel chocks, soft straps, and sometimes crates — to keep the bike upright and stable, rather than the tie-downs used for cars.

Should I ship my motorcycle open or enclosed?

Open transport is the economical choice for most bikes. Enclosed is worth it for custom, vintage, or high-value motorcycles that you want fully protected from weather and road debris.
