Shipping options from Philadelphia
AA Motorcycle Shipping offers three service types to fit your schedule and budget. All options are coordinated start to finish — we never hand your shipment off to a third party and disappear.
🏠 Door-to-Door
We pick up your motorcycle from your driveway in the Philadelphia area and deliver it directly to the destination address — no terminal visit required on either end.
📦 Terminal-to-Door / Door-to-Terminal
Drop your bike at our Telford terminal and we deliver to a door, or schedule a pickup from your home and collect at a terminal on the other end. Flexible and often more affordable.
🔄 Terminal-to-Terminal
Drop your motorcycle at our Telford, PA terminal and collect it at the destination terminal. Our most economical option, ideal when both parties have terminal access.
Non-palletized vs palletized motorcycle shipping
We offer two shipping methods — both fully enclosed in freight trailers, never on open car haulers. Choose based on your bike’s value, your timeline, and how much protection you want during transit.
Non-palletized (standard)
Your motorcycle rides upright on its own wheels inside an enclosed freight trailer, secured with straps. This is our most popular and cost-effective method — the same way the vast majority of motorcycles ship nationwide.
Palletized (premium)
Your motorcycle is bolted to a wooden pallet and crated for maximum protection. Recommended for show bikes, rare or high-value motorcycles, or bikes being shipped internationally. Ask about this option when you get your quote.
How motorcycle shipping works
Shipping a motorcycle with AA takes three straightforward steps. We coordinate every detail so you don’t have to chase down carriers or wonder where your bike is.

Our Telford terminal puts same-day drop-off within reach for riders throughout the Philadelphia suburbs, Bucks County, Montgomery County, and the surrounding region.
Philadelphia’s position on the I-95 corridor makes it a natural hub for long-haul motorcycle shipments in both directions.

Riders headed to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, Dover AFB, or other East Coast installations can also ask about our military discount.
We ship every major brand — Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Ducati, BMW, Indian, and everything in between — using non-palletized or palletized methods depending on your bike and budget.

-
What is the difference between non-palletized and palletized shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method — your motorcycle rides upright on its own wheels inside an enclosed freight trailer, secured with straps. Palletized means your bike is bolted to a wooden pallet and crated for maximum protection, recommended for show bikes or high-value motorcycles. Both methods use fully enclosed trailers — never open car haulers.
-
Is there a military discount available?
Yes. We offer a military discount for active duty, veterans, and their families. Request it via live chat when you get your quote, or mention it when you call 1-888-347-1391.
-
Do I need to drain the gas tank before shipping?
You do not need to fully drain the tank, but it should be no more than ¼ full at drop-off. This is a freight carrier safety requirement. A nearly empty tank is ideal. Remove any loose accessories and ensure the battery is connected and the bike starts or is clearly labeled as non-running.
-
Can you ship a motorcycle I just bought online?
Absolutely. We handle online purchase pickups regularly — from Cycle Trader, eBay Motors, and private sellers nationwide. We can arrange pickup from the seller’s location (door service) or they can drop it at their nearest terminal, and we’ll deliver it to you in the Philadelphia area or your terminal of choice.
