Why people ship with us
The three most common reasons riders ship a motorcycle
#1 — Online purchases
You found the right bike on CycleTrader, eBay Motors, or from a private seller across the country. We pick up from the seller and deliver to your door. No flight, no road trip, no hassle.
#2 — Relocations & PCS moves
Moving for work or on military PCS orders? We coordinate pickup and delivery around your timeline. Active duty military and veterans receive a discount — get a quote then call us.
#3 — Road trips & snowbirds
Ride one-way and ship back. Spend the winter somewhere warm and ship your bike there. Head to Sturgis and ship home after. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the ride.
Palletized vs non-palletized
Two ways to ship your motorcycle
Both methods use enclosed trailers. The difference is how your bike is secured during transport.
Non-Palletized Motorcycle Shipping
Standard — most shipments
Your motorcycle is secured to eye bolts on the floor of an enclosed trailer. Safe, reliable, and the more affordable option. Door-to-door only. Available on all routes.
Palletized Motorcycle Shipping
Premium — vintage, custom & high-value bikes
Your bike is secured to a pallet and loaded into an enclosed air-ride trailer with a forklift. Maximum protection, online tracking included. Available door-to-door, door-to-terminal, terminal-to-terminal, and terminal-to-door.
Service options
Three ways to use AA Motorcycle Shipping
Door-to-Door
Our most popular service. We come to your home, storage unit, or dealership and deliver to whatever address you choose anywhere in the US. No need to visit a terminal.
Terminal-to-Door / Door-to-Terminal
Drop off at one of our 47 terminals and we deliver to the door — or we pick up at your door and you collect at a terminal. Mix and match based on what’s convenient for you.
Terminal-to-Terminal
Drop off at a terminal near you, pick up at a terminal near your destination. Most economical option. Great for one-way road trips — ride it out, ship it back.
Why AA Motorcycle Shipping
The only thing we do is motorcycle shipping — and we’ve been doing it since 1983
There are a lot of companies that will take your motorcycle shipping inquiry. Most of them are brokers or lead-gen marketplaces — they take your information and sell it to multiple carriers, you get calls from strangers, and you have no idea who’s actually handling your bike. That’s not us.
AA Motorcycle Shipping coordinates your shipment from booking through delivery. One company, one point of contact, one price. We’ve been doing this since 1983 — longer than most of our competitors have been in business — and our 47 terminals nationwide mean there’s no route we can’t service.
The price you’re quoted online is the price you pay. No fuel surcharges added at the end. No “we need to reassess the weight” calls. No surprises. Enter your zip codes, get your price, book your shipment.
We cover each motorcycle with $7,000 in insurance during transport. We only use trucks with liftgates — we do not use ramps to roll your motorcycle onto the truck. And our drivers specialize in motorcycles, so you’ll never have an inexperienced person handling your bike.

Fantastic service from start to finish. I contacted another company before them and was quoted nearly double the price. These guys were professional, affordable, and communicated with me throughout the entire process from pickup to delivery. No hidden fees, no surprises, and my bike arrived without any issues. I highly recommend them to anyone needing motorcycle transport.

I was extremely hesitant to ship my motorcycle from San Diego to Oregon. The thought of pre-paying $1,000 for strangers to come and load my bike up in their box truck and drive away, hoping to see them again a few days later, made me sick to my stomach. I'm so happy I was absolutely wrong to have any negative thoughts about AA Motorcycle Shipping. They were extremely professional, communicative, and took great care of my bike. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to ship a motorcycle anywhere in the country!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the trust and the business Riley.

got my motorcycle from Maryland to Utah in a pretty timely manner. I also needed some same day shipping and they were able to accommodate me by allowing me to bring the motorcycle to their shipping facility to get it on a crate. The customer service agent I called was also super helpful (she works in accounting, can't remember her name). Will absolutely use again if the need arises.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the business Caelan and her name is Julia.

AA Motorcycle did a great job moving my bike from Dallas to Las Vegas. The bike was delivered efficiently without any damage which sounds simple but if you've shipped a bike before you know is not always the case. They showed a lot of flexibility by delivering it to a location which wasn't originally requested when I made the reservations. I would use AA again if I needed to move my bike again in the future.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the business

Verified customer review
“My experience with AA Motorcycle Shipping was excellent. My Softail HD is spotless with no blemishes — it was picked up in Wisconsin and dropped off in California in the same condition. The staff and drivers were kind and professional. I would highly recommend them.”

Cost depends on your route, bike size, and shipping method. Short regional routes start around $495. Cross-country routes typically run $780–$890. Use the instant quote calculator above — enter your zip codes and bike type and the price comes back immediately. The price you see is the price you pay.
How long does motorcycle shipping take?
Transit time depends on your route. Regional routes between neighboring states typically take 3–7 days. Cross-country routes generally run 7–14 days. Your quote includes the estimated transit window for your specific pickup and delivery locations.
What’s the difference between non-palletized and palletized motorcycle shipping?
Non-palletized shipping secures your motorcycle to eye bolts on the floor of an enclosed trailer — it’s our standard service and the more affordable option. Palletized shipping secures your bike to a wooden pallet and loads it into an enclosed air-ride trailer with a forklift — maximum protection, online tracking included. For vintage, custom, or high-value bikes, palletized is worth the premium.
Do you ship to all 50 states?
Yes — every state including Alaska and Hawaii. Alaska and Hawaii require ocean freight for part of the route, which affects transit time and pricing. Get a quote for your specific route and we’ll provide the exact details.
Can I drop off my motorcycle at a terminal?
Yes — same-day drop-off is available at all 47 of our terminals nationwide. You must place your order first to receive a booking number before arriving. Find your nearest terminal →
Is my motorcycle insured during shipping?
Yes. Every shipment is covered with $7,000 in insurance during transport. Additional coverage is available. We recommend photographing your bike thoroughly before pickup — our team will also document its condition at the time of collection.
Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?
Someone needs to be present at both pickup and delivery — but it doesn’t have to be you. A family member, neighbor, or property manager works fine. We’ll coordinate the schedule in advance so whoever is there knows what to expect.
Do you offer military discounts?
Yes — Military, Veteran, and 1st Responder discounts are available. Get your instant quote online first, then call us at 1-888-347-1391 to apply the discount before booking.
