Choose the Service That Fits Your Needs
We offer three service levels from our Minneapolis terminal — from the most hands-off option to the most convenient. All services include start-to-finish coordination and shipment tracking.
🏠
Door-to-Door
A driver collects your motorcycle from your address anywhere in the Minneapolis metro — home, dealer, or storage unit — and delivers it directly to the destination address. The most convenient option if you can’t get to the terminal.
🔄
Terminal-to-Door / Door-to-Terminal
Drop your bike at the Roseville terminal for a lower rate, and have it delivered to the recipient’s door — or have a driver pick up from the origin and drop at the destination terminal for pickup. A great middle-ground for cost-conscious shippers.
📦
Terminal-to-Terminal
The most economical service. Drop off at the Minneapolis terminal in Roseville, and the recipient picks up at a terminal near them. Ideal when both parties are near a terminal and want the lowest possible rate.
Non-Palletized vs. Palletized Shipping
We ship motorcycles two ways — non-palletized (standard) and palletized (premium). Both travel inside enclosed freight trailers. Your bike is never loaded onto an open car hauler.
How Motorcycle Shipping Works
Shipping your motorcycle from Minneapolis is a straightforward three-step process. We coordinate everything between you and the carrier — you simply hand over the bike and wait for delivery confirmation.

Why Minneapolis Riders Choose AA Motorcycle Shipping
Minneapolis has a fiercely loyal riding community, and we’ve been serving it since long before smartphone apps made everything feel disposable. Since 1983, AA Motorcycle Shipping has coordinated motorcycle shipments for riders across the Twin Cities metro — from Harley owners in Saint Paul to sport bike enthusiasts in Bloomington and adventure tourers heading out of Minnetonka. Our Roseville terminal on Long Lake Road is a proven, reliable drop-off point that riders throughout the metro can access without fighting downtown traffic.
Minnesota winters make seasonal shipping a practical reality here. Many Minneapolis riders ship their bikes south in late October and have them returned in April — to Arizona, Texas, or Florida — rather than store them idle for five months. We coordinate those seasonal moves regularly, and our pricing reflects common routes that our network runs on a consistent basis. You won’t be treated like a one-off customer; you’ll be working with a team that’s moved thousands of bikes along the same corridors.
We’re not a carrier and we’re not a lead-gen broker. When you book with AA Motorcycle Shipping, we manage your shipment — coordinating with carriers via Central Dispatch, confirming pickup and delivery details, and staying in contact until your bike arrives. That’s different from services that take your information and pass it to whoever calls back first. With us, one team is accountable for your shipment from quote to delivery.
For Minneapolis riders purchasing motorcycles through online listings — from eBay Motors to Facebook Marketplace to dealer websites — we handle the logistics of getting a bike you’ve never ridden delivered safely to your door. We ship non-running bikes too. If the bike rolls and steers, we can ship it. Get your instant quote online or call us at 1-888-347-1391.

Minneapolis Motorcycle Shipping — Frequently Asked Questions
-
How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle from Minneapolis?
Shipping costs depend on the distance, service type, and method. Short routes like Minneapolis to Chicago start around $495, while long-haul routes to the West Coast or South Florida run $735–$780. Use our online quote tool to get an exact price for your specific route in seconds — no email required.
-
How long does motorcycle shipping from Minneapolis take?
Most cross-country shipments from Minneapolis take approximately one week. Shorter regional routes — such as Minneapolis to Chicago — typically complete in 2–3 days. Transit time depends on route frequency and carrier availability. We’ll give you an estimated delivery window when you book.
-
Can I drop off my motorcycle the same day in Minneapolis?
Yes. Our Roseville terminal at 2480 Long Lake Road accepts same-day drop-offs. Place your order online first to receive your booking number, then bring your bike to the terminal. No appointment needed once you have your booking number.
-
What’s the difference between non-palletized and palletized shipping?
Non-palletized is the standard method — your motorcycle is secured directly to the trailer floor with ratchet straps inside an enclosed freight trailer. It’s the most cost-effective option and suitable for most bikes. Palletized shipping mounts your bike to a wooden pallet before loading, adding extra protection and stability. It’s recommended for vintage, show, or high-value motorcycles. Both methods travel inside enclosed trailers — your bike is never on an open car hauler.
-
Is a military discount available for shipping from Minneapolis?
Yes. We offer a military discount for active duty service members and veterans. Request it via live chat when booking your shipment or call us at 1-888-347-1391.
-
How should I prep my gas tank before shipping?
You should drain the gas tank to approximately ¼ tank or less before drop-off. A full tank adds unnecessary weight and creates a safety concern during transit. Turn off the fuel petcock if your bike has one. We’ll confirm any specific prep requirements when you book.
-
Can you ship a motorcycle I bought online from a Minneapolis seller?
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate shipments for online motorcycle purchases — eBay Motors, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and dealer websites. The seller can drop the bike at our Roseville terminal, or we can coordinate a driver pickup from their location. You receive the bike at your door without having to travel.
-
Is door-to-door shipping available throughout the Twin Cities metro?
Yes. Door-to-door pickup and delivery is available throughout the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metro, including Saint Paul, Bloomington, Plymouth, Edina, Minnetonka, Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, Roseville, and surrounding communities. A driver will collect your motorcycle at your address and deliver it to the destination of your choice.
