Non-Palletized vs. Palletized Motorcycle Shipping
AA Motorcycle Shipping offers two distinct methods for transporting your bike. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right option based on your motorcycle, budget, and protection preferences.
Non-Palletized (Standard)
Your motorcycle rides upright in an enclosed freight trailer, strapped and secured by trained handlers. This is our standard method — safe, reliable, and the most affordable way to ship. Motorcycles are never loaded onto open car haulers.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is mounted on a wooden pallet, crated or shrink-wrapped, and secured for the highest level of protection during transit. Recommended for rare, vintage, or high-value bikes where extra care is a priority.

What is the difference between non-palletized and palletized shipping?Non-palletized is our standard method — your motorcycle rides upright inside an enclosed freight trailer, secured with ratchet straps by trained handlers.
