Non-palletized vs. palletized shipping
Every motorcycle we ship travels inside an enclosed freight trailer — never on an open car hauler. The difference between our two methods is how your bike is secured and supported during transit, which affects both price and the level of protection your motorcycle receives.

Why Nashville riders choose AA Motorcycle Shipping
Nashville has one of the most active riding communities in the Southeast. From the twisties of the Natchez Trace Parkway to weekend runs toward Chattanooga and the Smokies, Middle Tennessee riders put serious miles on their bikes — and when life calls them to relocate, deploy, or buy a bike across the country, they need a shipping partner they can trust. AA Motorcycle Shipping has been that partner since 1983, long before online booking and real-time tracking were options in this industry.
We are not a broker that passes your information to the lowest bidder. We are not a lead-generation company. We coordinate every shipment ourselves through Central Dispatch, working directly with vetted carriers who service established terminal routes. When you book with us, you deal with one company from quote to delivery — and our 4.7-star rating across 3,083 verified reviews reflects that consistency.
Our Nashville terminal on Harding Place serves riders throughout Davidson County and the greater Middle Tennessee area. If you’re a service member at Fort Campbell or transitioning out of a Tennessee base, we extend a military discount — ask via live chat when you book. For buyers purchasing motorcycles at Nashville-area dealerships or through private sellers, we can coordinate pickup directly from the seller’s location so you never have to drive to receive your bike.
With 47 terminals across the country, we run established routes into Nashville from Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Miami, Dallas, Denver, Seattle, and beyond. Whether you’re shipping a Harley-Davidson from Music City to the Pacific Coast or moving a sport bike from Boston to Nashville for the riding season, get an instant quote and see your price in seconds — no email required, no sales pressure, no obligation.

Nashville motorcycle shipping — frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle from Nashville?
Pricing depends on your route and service type. Based on current rates, Nashville routes start around $550 for shorter hauls (e.g., to Chicago or Dallas) and go up to $800 for long-distance routes like Nashville to Seattle. Get an instant online quote for your exact route — no email required, and you’ll see your price in seconds.
How long does motorcycle shipping from Nashville take?
Transit times vary by distance. Regional routes to cities like Chicago, Houston, or Miami typically run 5 days. Cross-country routes to Denver, Boston, or Las Vegas average about 1 week. The Nashville-to-Seattle route is approximately 2 weeks. These are estimates — your booking confirmation will include a projected pickup window, and you can track your shipment in real time using your order number.
Can I drop off my motorcycle at the Nashville terminal the same day?
Yes. Our Nashville terminal at 5014 Harding Place accepts same-day drop-offs during business hours. You must place your order online first to receive a booking number — bring that booking number when you arrive. Terminal staff will complete a condition inspection and provide a receipt at drop-off.
What is the difference between palletized and non-palletized shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method — your bike is secured upright in an enclosed trailer using wheel chocks and straps. It’s safe, reliable, and what we recommend for most motorcycles. Palletized shipping mounts your bike on a wooden pallet with additional securing, providing extra protection for vintage bikes, high-value customs, sport bikes with fairings, or any motorcycle where you want an added layer of care. Both methods use enclosed trailers — we never use open car haulers.
Is a military discount available for Nashville shipments?
Yes. AA Motorcycle Shipping offers a military discount for active duty, veterans, and their families. To apply the discount, request it via live chat when placing your order or call 1-888-347-1391. Fort Campbell riders and those relocating through PCS orders are welcome — we’re experienced with military moves.
Do I need to drain the gas tank before shipping from Nashville?
No — you are not required to drain your tank. We recommend keeping fuel to roughly a quarter tank or less for shipping. A near-empty tank reduces weight and minimizes any risk from fuel expansion in transit. Check your owner’s manual for any model-specific recommendations, and remove any loose accessories or saddlebag items before drop-off.
Can AA Motorcycle Shipping pick up a bike I bought online or at a Nashville dealership?
Yes. We regularly coordinate pickups from Nashville-area dealerships and private sellers for buyers who purchased remotely. Simply provide the seller’s address during booking and we’ll arrange pickup directly with them. This is one of the most common use cases we handle — no need to travel to Nashville to receive your purchase.
Is door-to-door motorcycle shipping available throughout Nashville and Middle Tennessee?
Yes. Door-to-door service is available throughout Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Clarksville, Hendersonville, and most of Middle Tennessee. A driver will come to your specified pickup address — residential, commercial, or storage facility — and deliver to the destination address. Get a quote to confirm availability for your specific pickup location.
