Massachusetts motorcycle shipping services
We offer four service types. Every combination is available to and from Massachusetts — choose what works best for your location and schedule.
Door-to-Door
We pick up your motorcycle at your home, storage unit, or dealership anywhere in Massachusetts and deliver it to an address of your choosing at the destination. The most convenient option — no need to visit a terminal.
Terminal-to-Door
Drop your motorcycle off at our Lowell, MA terminal and we deliver it to the door at the destination. Great if you’re near Lowell and want to save on the pickup fee while still getting home delivery on the other end.
Door-to-Terminal
We pick up your motorcycle anywhere in Massachusetts and deliver it to the terminal closest to your destination. You pick it up on your schedule. Useful when you need flexible pickup timing at the destination.
Terminal-to-Terminal service is also available for the lowest cost option when terminals are conveniently located at both ends of the route. Get a quote to compare all options.
Non-palletized vs. palletized motorcycle shipping
We offer two shipping methods for motorcycles. Both use enclosed freight — your bike is never loaded onto an open car hauler.
Non-Palletized (Standard)
Your motorcycle is loaded directly onto the floor of an enclosed freight trailer using tie-down straps. This is the standard method and the most common way motorcycles are shipped. It’s reliable, cost-effective, and used for the vast majority of shipments.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is secured to a wooden pallet, shrink-wrapped, and loaded as a crated freight unit. This method provides an additional layer of protection and is a good choice for show bikes, rare collectibles, or high-value machines where extra security is worth the additional cost.

Why Massachusetts riders choose AA Motorcycle Shipping
Massachusetts riders have been trusting AA Motorcycle Shipping since 1983 — before the internet made it easy to find a shipper, and long before everyone with a website started calling themselves a shipping company. We’ve handled cross-country moves for Harley owners in Worcester, season-ending shipments from Cape Cod to Florida, and online-purchase pickups from dealerships throughout the Greater Boston area. That experience matters when you’re handing over the keys to a machine you care about.
We are not a carrier — we don’t own trucks — and we’re not a lead-generation broker that sells your contact information to a list of carriers. When you place an order with us, we coordinate your shipment start to finish using Central Dispatch, the industry’s most trusted freight network. We handle the scheduling, confirm with the driver, and stay on your shipment until delivery. You deal with one company, one point of contact, and one tracking page.
Our Lowell terminal at 263 Industrial Avenue serves riders throughout northeastern Massachusetts — including the Greater Boston area, the Merrimack Valley, and the North Shore. If you’re not near Lowell, door-to-door service is available statewide. We send a driver to your home, storage unit, or dealership and pick up your motorcycle wherever it happens to be. No need to arrange a trailer, borrow a truck, or figure out a drop-off point.
With 47 terminals across the country and 4.7 stars across more than 3,000 verified reviews, we’ve built a reputation that comes from doing the job right — not from marketing. If you have questions about shipping a motorcycle from Massachusetts, call us at 1-888-347-1391 or use the quote form above to get started instantly.

“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.”

- How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle from Massachusetts?
- Costs vary by distance and service type.

Long cross-country routes to California, Washington State, or Arizona typically take approximately two weeks. These are freight-based estimates, not guaranteed delivery windows.
- What is the difference between palletized and non-palletized motorcycle shipping?
- Non-palletized is the standard method — your motorcycle is loaded directly onto the floor of an enclosed freight trailer and secured with tie-down straps. It’s the most common and cost-effective way to ship. Palletized shipping mounts your motorcycle on a wooden pallet and shrink-wraps it before loading, adding an extra layer of protection. Palletized is a good choice for rare, vintage, or high-value machines. Both methods use enclosed freight — motorcycles are never placed on open car haulers.
- Does AA Motorcycle Shipping have a terminal in Massachusetts?
- Yes. Our Massachusetts terminal is located at 263 Industrial Avenue, Lowell, MA 01852. Lowell is conveniently located near Interstate 495 and serves riders throughout the Greater Boston area, the Merrimack Valley, and the North Shore. Door-to-door pickup is available statewide if you are not near Lowell.
- Is a military discount available for motorcycle shipping from Massachusetts?
- Yes. AA Motorcycle Shipping offers a military discount for active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Mention your military status when you request a quote or call us at 1-888-347-1391 and we will apply the discount to your shipment.
- Does the gas tank need to be empty before shipping?
- For safety and freight carrier compliance, the gas tank should be drained to one-quarter full or less before shipping. A completely empty tank is acceptable. This is standard practice for all motorcycle freight shipments and applies whether you are shipping non-palletized or palletized.
- Can I ship a motorcycle I bought online from a Massachusetts seller?
- Yes. This is a common scenario — many of our shipments involve motorcycles purchased through eBay, Cycle Trader, Craigslist, or directly from a private seller. We can coordinate pickup from the seller’s address anywhere in Massachusetts and deliver the bike to your door wherever you are in the country. The seller does not need to be present for the entire process once pickup is scheduled.
- Is door-to-door motorcycle shipping available throughout Massachusetts?
- Yes. Door-to-door service is available statewide — from the Berkshires in western Massachusetts to Cape Cod and the Islands. You do not need to be near our Lowell terminal to use our service.
