Why Los Angeles riders choose AA

Los Angeles motorcycle shipping — in business since 1983

Los Angeles is one of the highest-volume motorcycle markets in the country, and it’s one of our busiest terminals. We’ve been moving bikes to and from the LA basin for over 40 years — through Anaheim, down to San Diego, up to San Jose, and on cross-country runs to Chicago, New York, and Florida. The corridors are familiar. The logistics are handled. No brokers, no mystery carriers — when you book with AA, we coordinate your shipment start to finish.

Our Anaheim terminal at 3320 E. Miraloma Ave. puts us right in the heart of Southern California. Whether your bike is sitting in a garage in Pasadena, a storage unit in Ontario, or a dealership in Irvine, we can get to it. Door-to-door is our most popular service in the LA market — most riders don’t need to bring their bike anywhere. We come to you.

LA is also a major destination for online motorcycle purchases. If you’ve bought a bike on CycleTrader, eBay Motors, or from a private seller in Texas, Florida, or the Midwest, we pick up directly from the seller and deliver to your door in LA. You don’t need to fly out. Just provide the seller’s address when you book and we handle everything from pickup to your driveway.

Non-palletized and palletized shipping are both available on all LA routes. For high-value customs, vintage Harleys, or anything you’d rather not risk on a long cross-country haul, palletized gives you maximum protection and online tracking. Not sure which is right? Call us — we’ll tell you straight.

We ship every type of motorcycle to and from Los Angeles

Harleys, Hondas, Ducatis, BMWs, Indians, Triumphs, Kawasakis, Yamahas, Suzukis — cruisers, sport bikes, adventure bikes, touring bikes, classics, customs, trikes, and everything in between. If it has two wheels and a motor, we’ve shipped it in Los Angeles.

  • Adventure & dual-sport bikes
  • Vintage & classic motorcycles

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.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the business

Frequently asked questions

Los Angeles motorcycle shipping — common questions

  • How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle to or from Los Angeles?

    Starting prices range from around $425 for short regional routes (San Jose to LA) up to $845 for long cross-country routes (New York or Philadelphia to LA). The exact price depends on your specific pickup and delivery zip codes, your bike’s size and type, and whether you choose non-palletized or palletized shipping. Use the instant quote calculator above for your exact route — no email required.

  • How long does it take to ship a motorcycle to Los Angeles?

    Transit time depends on your route. Short regional routes like LA to Phoenix take 2–3 days. Mid-range routes such as LA to Houston or Chicago run about 5 days to 1 week. Long cross-country routes from Los Angeles to the Northeast or Southeast typically take 2 weeks.

  • Can I drop off my motorcycle at the Los Angeles terminal same day?

    Yes — same-day drop-off shipping is available at our Anaheim terminal at 3320 E. Miraloma Ave. You must place your order first during normal business hours to receive a booking number before arriving. This is a popular option for riders ending a road trip, dealing with a family emergency, or simply wanting to move quickly.

  • What’s the difference between palletized and non-palletized motorcycle shipping?

    Non-palletized shipping is our standard service — your motorcycle is secured to eye bolts on the floor of an enclosed trailer. It’s safe, reliable, and more affordable. Door-to-door only. Palletized shipping secures your bike to a pallet and loads it into an enclosed air-ride trailer with a forklift — maximum protection, online tracking available, and it supports all service types including terminal drop-off. For vintage, custom, or high-value motorcycles on long LA cross-country runs, palletized is worth the premium.

  • Do you offer door-to-door motorcycle shipping in the Los Angeles area?

    Yes — door-to-door is our most popular service and it’s available throughout greater Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and everywhere in between. We come to your home, storage unit, dealership, or anywhere else your bike is located. No need to bring it to our Anaheim terminal.

  • Do you ship motorcycles bought online to Los Angeles?

    Absolutely — this is one of the most common shipments we handle through our LA terminal. If you’ve purchased a bike on CycleTrader, eBay Motors, or from a private seller anywhere in the country, we pick up directly from the seller and deliver to your Los Angeles door. You don’t need to fly out to retrieve it. Just provide the seller’s address when you book.

  • Is a military discount available for Los Angeles motorcycle shipping?

    Yes — Military, Veteran, and 1st Responder discounts are available. Get an instant quote online first, then call us at 1-888-347-1391 to apply the discount before booking. We handle PCS moves regularly for military personnel stationed at Camp Pendleton, Edwards AFB, and other Southern California installations.

  • Do I need to drain the gas tank before shipping from Los Angeles?

    You don’t need to drain it completely — keep fuel at or below a quarter tank. A nearly empty tank reduces weight and eliminates fuel-related concerns during transport. We’ll send you a complete preparation checklist when you book.
