We understand the trust it takes to hand us the keys to your bike – that’s why all employees at A-1 Motorcycle Shipping are knowledgeable about bikes and, like you, we are owners and riders.
Car Shipping Companies
Many general car shipping companies move a variety of vehicles, including motorcycles. Even though many companies have excellent reputations and reasonable auto transport prices, the majority of consumer reviews relate to cars.
You don’t know the number of motorcycles shipped per year, if the company employs bike enthusiasts or if drivers and agents understand the ways shipping bikes differs from other vehicles.
A car’s four wheels are easier to secure, require less considerations and, with the exception of certain antique and specialty vehicles, have few fragile parts that could be damaged if tied down incorrectly.
An all-purpose company usually provides information about motorcycle and car shipping costs without acknowledging the transport differences between the two. For instance, a company dedicated to motorcycles only ships bikes in enclosed transports, whereas a general company may offer you the choice of open transport – increasing the risks of damages when moving your bike.
Motorcycle Shipping
A-1 Motorcycle Shipping only ships motorcycles, but we can also get you cheap moving estimates. We know the best ways to secure, load and deliver your bike safely:
- Air Ride — enclosed transports that provide an especially smooth ride, eliminating the former risks associated with the vibrations of motorcycle shipping by freight and shielding your bike from exposure to the elements
- Custom pallet — secured to a pallet designed with a track for tires to rest in the center; most cost effective, pallets are a feature of most motorcycle transport companies that offer cheap motorcycle shipping and considered one of the safest ways to ship your bike
- Straps – four straps made of a non-abrasive material are a standard in high-quality motorcycle shipping; your bike is secured in a manner that prevents movement without the risk of causing any surface damage; placement also avoid “fragile” areas of the bike
- Added Protection – we cover your bike with a blanket before loading it into the transport
- Hydraulic Lifts – your bike remains horizontal when loaded and unloaded off the truck
- Tracking – monitor the progress of your transport on our website with a unique code

A lot of companies offer cheap motorcycle shipping – but at what cost? Here, at A-1 Motorcycle Shipping, we aim for quality at an affordable price. Certain services add to your motorcycle shipping quote such as added insurance, drop-off and delivery arrangements.
We also offer discount programs that lower your costs such as:
Frequent Shippers – we show our loyalty to repeat customers
Military and Service Personnel – we honor veterans and active members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard and Coast Guard as well as men and women that served as police officers, firemen and emergency medical staff
Multiple Bikes or Group Rates – the more you ship, the less per bike
Rallies – if your planning to attend one of the nation’s popular rallies such as Biketoperfest or the Annual Sturgis Rally, look to our site early for related discounts
Keep in mind that cheap motorcycle shipping should never be at the expense of safety or quality. An all-purpose company may offer cheaper rates for motorcycles compared to car shipping costs, but price may be based on inexperience and lack of proper equipment.
