Why choose AA

Advantages of our international motorcycle shipping

From the first quote to port collection, AA Motorcycle Shipping is built around making international shipments straightforward — not stressful.

Door-to-Port Service

We pick up your motorcycle at your US address and coordinate everything through to the destination port — domestic truck leg and ocean crossing as one service. No need to arrange your own port drop-off.

Weekly Sailings

Regular weekly RoRo sailings from multiple US ports to destinations across Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Set departure dates mean predictable arrival windows you can plan around.

Cost Transparency

Shipping costs depend on your US pickup location, motorcycle size, departure port, destination, and shipping method. We provide clear quotes tailored to your specific shipment — no guesswork, no hidden fees.

Customs Broker Included

A licensed customs clearance broker is assigned to your shipment at booking for all international destinations. Their details appear on your Document Receipt — they handle import clearance at the arrival port on your behalf.

Military & Veteran Discount

Military, veteran, and first responder discounts available on all international shipments. Submit a quote online and call 1-888-347-1391 to apply the discount before booking.

In Business Since 1983

Over four decades of motorcycle shipping experience. AA Motorcycle Shipping has coordinated thousands of international shipments — we know the routes, the ports, and the process inside out.


Our standards

AA Motorcycle Shipping — setting the standard since 1983

Every international shipment is handled to the same standards that have made us a trusted name in motorcycle transport for over 40 years.

  • Reliability: Trusted name in motorcycle transportation since 1983 — safe, secure delivery of motorcycles to destinations worldwide.
  • Competitive rates: Affordable door-to-port pricing without compromising on service quality or handling standards.
  • Safety first: Enclosed trucks with liftgates ensure motorcycles are loaded and unloaded securely on the domestic leg.
  • Instant quotes: Get a quote online or over the phone — available 7 days a week at 1-888-347-1391.
  • Experienced coordination: We manage the full journey — pickup, domestic transport, port loading, ocean crossing, and customs broker assignment.
  • Specialized motorcycle shippers: We ship motorcycles exclusively — not a general freight broker. Every process is built around two-wheeled vehicles.

Domestic shipping options

Palletized vs non-palletized — the US domestic leg

Every international shipment begins with an enclosed truck run from your US pickup address to the departure port. Two domestic leg options are available — choose based on your bike and budget.

Non-palletized motorcycle shipping — domestic leg to US departure port

Non-Palletized

Standard domestic leg

Your motorcycle is secured to floor-mounted tie-down points inside an enclosed trailer using heavy-duty ratchet straps. The standard, most affordable domestic option — reliable for all motorcycle types. Faster loading times and the right choice for most international shipments.

Palletized motorcycle shipping — premium domestic leg to US departure port

Palletized

Premium domestic leg

Your motorcycle is forklift-loaded onto a wooden pallet and transported in an enclosed air-ride trailer. Smoother ride, less vibration, and shorter in-transit times to the departure port. The premium option for high-value, vintage, or collector bikes where handling quality matters on every leg of the journey.


Ocean shipping methods

RoRo and container — how your motorcycle crosses the ocean

Two ocean shipping methods are available on most international routes. Your method determines which US departure ports are available and — on some routes — which arrival port your motorcycle docks at.

RoRo — Roll-On/Roll-Off

Standard — most routes and most riders

Your motorcycle is ridden aboard the vessel and secured on the car deck for the ocean crossing. RoRo operates on set weekly departure schedules, is cost-effective, and keeps your motorcycle fully enclosed within the ship’s hull throughout transit. The right choice for any operational motorcycle on any route. Requires the motorcycle to be rideable.

Container Shipping

Premium — high-value, vintage & inoperable bikes

Your motorcycle ships in a sealed steel container — fully isolated from other cargo for the entire journey. Container shipping is available on most routes and is the correct method for inoperable motorcycles that cannot roll onto a RoRo vessel. Also recommended for rare, vintage, or collector-grade bikes where maximum protection justifies the added cost. Containers depart when full — scheduling may be less fixed than RoRo.


Making the right choice

Choosing the right international motorcycle shipping company

Not all motorcycle shippers are the same. Here’s what to look for — and how AA Motorcycle Shipping measures up.

  • Reputation: Look for a proven track record and verified customer reviews. AA Motorcycle Shipping has 3,083 verified reviews and a 4.7-star rating.
  • Experience: Choose a company that specializes in motorcycles — not general freight. We’ve shipped motorcycles exclusively since 1983.
  • Competitive rates: Get multiple quotes and compare. AA offers competitive door-to-port rates with no hidden fees.
  • Modern equipment: Enclosed trucks with liftgates, proper tie-down systems, and air-ride trailers for palletized shipments.
  • Customs coordination: A good shipper assigns a licensed customs broker at booking — not after the motorcycle arrives at the port.
  • Instant quotes and transparency: You should know your costs upfront. Get a quote online at any time or call 1-888-347-1391.
  • Full journey coordination: Look for a company that manages the domestic leg and the ocean leg — not just one or the other.

Due to some communication failures, we were initially sent to the wrong address in Sacramento to drop off my '14 Ultra Limited. After several frantic calls to AA Shipping in San Diego, we finally reached the Valley Relocation and Storage dispatcher who went out of her way to find us in that industrial complex. Danielle was fantastic!! Once she took control of the situation, I was able to ride the bike onto the custom pallet, warehouse gentlemen (super nice and real experts) carefully and expertly strapped the bike down, and my wife and I began our own drive across the country. We arrived in Massachusetts in 6 days; we got a phone call the following day--the bike arrived at the Sterling terminal in Lowell, MA on the 7th day! There, the guys were incredibly helpful getting the bike's battery jumped started. I can honestly say that you could do a lot worse with other motorcycle shippers, but you couldn't do better than AA Shipping. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

AMAZING service!. Julia started off by helping me navigate the on line process, then responded quickly to any questions I had throughout the transport. When a possible additional charge was suggested, Julia was able to mitigate it. My vehicle arrived in perfect condition, and the driver was very careful to unload it with great care. I could not be more pleased with the overall experience. Thank you, AA.
Response from the owner:Thanks very much for the business Todd

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.
