AA Motorcycle Shipping has been coordinating motorcycle shipments nationwide since 1983, and our Columbus terminal at 2020 Williams Road serves riders throughout central Ohio.

Our Columbus terminal makes same-day drop-off simple — no waiting around for a pickup window if your schedule doesn’t allow it.

-
Can I drop off my motorcycle at the Columbus terminal the same day?Yes. Our Columbus terminal at 2020 Williams Road accepts same-day drop-offs. Important: You must place your order online first and receive your booking number before arriving at the terminal.
-
What’s the difference between palletized and non-palletized motorcycle shipping?Non-palletized is the standard method — your motorcycle rides upright on its wheels inside an enclosed freight trailer, secured with wheel chocks and tie-down straps. Palletized is the premium option — the bike is strapped to a wooden pallet, wrapped, and shrink-sealed for extra protection. Both methods use enclosed freight; motorcycles are never transported on open car haulers.
-
Is a military discount available for Columbus motorcycle shipping?Yes. A military discount is available upon request. Contact us via live chat or call 1-888-347-1391 to apply the discount to your order.
-
Does my gas tank need to be empty before shipping?The gas tank does not need to be completely empty, but we recommend keeping it at one-quarter full or less. This reduces weight and minimizes any risk during transport. Remove any loose accessories or items stored on the motorcycle before drop-off or pickup.
-
Can AA Motorcycle Shipping handle a motorcycle I purchased online?Absolutely. We regularly ship motorcycles purchased on eBay, Cycle Trader, private listings, and dealer auctions. We coordinate pickup directly from the seller’s location and deliver to your door or Columbus terminal. Get a quote with the seller’s city and your destination.
