Shipping Methods

Non-Palletized vs. Palletized Shipping

AA Motorcycle Shipping offers two methods. Both travel inside enclosed freight — never on an open car hauler.

Non-palletized motorcycle shipping

Non-Palletized (Standard)

Your motorcycle is loaded upright and secured inside an enclosed freight trailer using wheel chocks and tie-down straps. This is the most common and cost-effective method. No pallet is used — the bike rides on its own wheels.

Palletized motorcycle shipping

Palletized (Premium)

Your motorcycle is strapped to a wooden pallet, which is then wrapped and shrink-sealed before loading. This method adds an extra layer of protection and is ideal for rare, vintage, or custom motorcycles where additional security is a priority.

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

What Our Customers Say

Jim Freeman

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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Response from the owner:Thanks for the business Jim

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 have used AA Motorcycle shipping a few times over the last 5years and recommended them many times. Their pricing is fair, they are prompt, courteous, and take great care in what they do.

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.

My name is Chuck My bike was shipped from New York to Tampa Florida. It was picked up promptly. It was strapped down wonderful and wrapped. It took only seven days for my bike to come from New York to Tampa not a scratch on it. The service was magnificent. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to ship a bike. They did a wonderful job.

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

I had to transport my bike from CA to TN and did not encounter any problems. The bike got there 2 days before the agreement and did not suffer any damages. It was at a fair price, and they had fast and responsive customer service. I would definitely trust them again for long trips like this.

“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.”

  • 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.

    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.
