How would you like to ship your motorcycle?
We offer four service combinations so you can choose what’s most convenient and cost-effective for your situation.
Door-to-Door
We pick up your motorcycle at your home or business address and deliver it directly to the recipient. Most convenient — no terminal visit required on either end.
Door-to-Terminal
We pick up from your Charlotte location and deliver to the destination terminal. Great if the recipient prefers to collect from their local terminal.
Terminal-to-Door
Drop your bike at our Charlotte terminal on Western Ridge Rd and we deliver it to the recipient’s door anywhere in the country. A popular way to save on origin-side pickup costs.
Terminal-to-Terminal
Drop off in Charlotte, pick up at the destination terminal. The most economical option when both parties have easy terminal access.
Non-palletized vs. palletized motorcycle shipping
Both methods use enclosed freight trailers — your motorcycle is never loaded on an open car hauler. Choose based on your budget and how much protection you need.

Charlotte’s trusted motorcycle shipping company since 1983
AA Motorcycle Shipping has been moving motorcycles across North Carolina and the entire country since 1983. Our Charlotte terminal at 10240 Western Ridge Rd, Ste. A puts us in southwest Charlotte — convenient for riders across the greater metro whether you’re heading out on I-85, I-77, or anywhere in between. Whether you’re shipping to a rally, relocating, or buying a bike from out of state, we coordinate your shipment start to finish — no middlemen, no surprises.
Charlotte sits at a natural crossroads between the Southeast and the rest of the country, and we move motorcycles through here constantly — to and from Florida, the Northeast, the Midwest, and the West Coast. Every bike we ship rides inside an enclosed freight trailer. Your motorcycle is never loaded on an open car hauler, whether you choose standard non-palletized shipping or our premium palletized option.
We are not a carrier — we don’t own the trucks. And we’re not a lead-generation broker that passes your information to the lowest bidder. We coordinate directly with vetted freight partners through Central Dispatch and manage your shipment from booking through delivery. When you call 1-888-347-1391, you’re talking to the team handling your order.
Our 4.7-star rating across 3,083 verified reviews reflects what four decades of doing this looks like. If you’re shipping a motorcycle to or from Charlotte — or anywhere in the Carolinas — get your instant quote online and see your rate in seconds, no email required.

Charlotte motorcycle shipping — frequently asked questions
- How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle from Charlotte?
- Rates depend on distance and service type. Based on our pricing table, routes from Charlotte start around $625 for shorter hauls like Newark, and go up to $1,100 for long cross-country routes like San Francisco. Get an exact price instantly at our online quote page — no email required.
- How long does motorcycle shipping from Charlotte take?
- Transit times range from 2–3 days for nearby routes (e.g., Charlotte to Newark or Norfolk) to approximately 1 week for long-haul routes to the West Coast. Your booking confirmation will include an estimated delivery window.
- Can I drop my motorcycle off at the Charlotte terminal same day?
- Yes. Our Charlotte terminal at 10240 Western Ridge Rd, Ste. A accepts same-day drop-offs. However, you must place your order online first and receive your booking number before arriving. Walk-ins without a booking number cannot be processed at the terminal.
- What’s the difference between non-palletized and palletized shipping?
- Non-palletized (standard) means your motorcycle rides upright and strapped securely inside an enclosed freight trailer. Palletized (premium) means the bike is mounted on a pallet and crated before loading, providing maximum isolation from other freight. Both travel in enclosed trailers — we never use open car haulers. Palletized is recommended for high-value, custom, or vintage bikes.
- Is a military discount available for shipping from Charlotte?
- Yes. AA Motorcycle Shipping offers a military discount for active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Request it via live chat before completing your booking and our team will apply it to your order.
- Do I need to drain the gas tank before shipping?
- You do not need to completely drain the tank, but we recommend leaving it no more than one-quarter full for safety during transit. A nearly empty tank reduces weight and minimizes fuel vapor, which is important for enclosed freight transport.
- Can you ship a motorcycle I bought online directly to me in Charlotte?
- Absolutely. This is one of our most common use cases. The seller drops the bike at their nearest terminal (or schedules a pickup), and we deliver it door-to-door to your Charlotte address — or you can collect it at our Charlotte terminal. Get a quote and coordinate with your seller on the pickup side.
- Is door-to-door motorcycle shipping available in Charlotte?
- Yes. We offer full door-to-door service throughout Charlotte and the greater North Carolina area. A driver will pick up your motorcycle at your home or business and deliver it directly to the destination address — no terminal visit required on your end.
