Popular Connecticut motorcycle shipping routes
Connecticut motorcycle shipping options
Choose the service that fits your schedule and budget. All options use enclosed trailers — we never use open car haulers for motorcycles.
Door-to-Door
We pick up your motorcycle at your Connecticut address and deliver it anywhere in the U.S. — no terminal visit required. The most convenient option for most customers.
Terminal Combinations
Save on shipping costs by using our Hartford terminal (250 Commerce Circle, New Britain) for drop-off or pickup. Mix terminal and door service in either direction.
Terminal-to-Terminal
Drop off at our Hartford terminal and pick up at a terminal near your destination. The most economical option when terminals are convenient on both ends.
Non-palletized vs. palletized motorcycle shipping
We offer two enclosed shipping methods from Connecticut. Both protect your motorcycle from the elements. Here is how they differ.
Non-Palletized (Standard)
Your motorcycle is loaded directly into an enclosed freight trailer and secured with professional ratchet straps. This is our standard method — used for the majority of shipments. Cost-effective and proven over 40+ years.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is strapped to a wooden pallet before loading into the enclosed trailer, providing an additional layer of stability and protection. Recommended for low-clearance bikes, custom builds, and high-value motorcycles.

Connecticut’s trusted motorcycle shipping company since 1983
AA Motorcycle Shipping has been coordinating motorcycle transport for more than 40 years. From our Hartford terminal at 250 Commerce Circle in New Britain, we serve riders throughout Connecticut — including the shoreline communities, the Hartford metro, and the western hills near the New York state border. Whether you are moving a Harley-Davidson from New Haven to the Southwest, shipping a sport bike purchased from a Boston dealer, or sending a vintage Indian cross-country, we handle the coordination so you can focus on the ride.
We are not a carrier — we do not own the trucks. And we are not a lead-gen company that passes your information to the highest bidder. AA Motorcycle Shipping coordinates your shipment directly through Central Dispatch, managing the carrier assignment, pickup scheduling, and delivery confirmation ourselves. That distinction matters: you deal with one company from start to finish, not a revolving door of brokers and subcontractors.
Connecticut riders frequently ship to Florida, Texas, and the Southwest for the winter months, and back north in the spring. We also see consistent volume to and from New York City and New Jersey — short regional routes where our 2–3 day transit times are hard to beat. For long-haul routes to the West Coast, our non-palletized and palletized methods in enclosed trailers ensure your motorcycle arrives in the same condition it left.
With 47 terminals across the country and 3,083 verified reviews averaging 4.7 stars, we have earned the trust of motorcycle owners at every level — from weekend riders to collectors to dealers. Call us at 1-888-347-1391 or get your instant quote online. No email required.

“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.”
Connecticut motorcycle shipping — frequently asked questions

Get your exact price instantly at the quote form — no email required.

Transit time depends on the route. Short regional routes to New York or New Jersey typically take 2–3 days. Mid-range routes like Connecticut to Chicago average about 5 days. Long-distance West Coast routes such as to Seattle or Las Vegas generally take 1–2 weeks.
-
What is the difference between palletized and non-palletized shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method — your motorcycle is secured directly in an enclosed freight trailer with professional tie-downs. Palletized shipping adds a wooden pallet under the bike for extra stability, recommended for low-clearance or high-value motorcycles. Neither method uses open car haulers.
-
Does AA Motorcycle Shipping have a terminal in Connecticut?
Yes. Our Hartford terminal is at 250 Commerce Circle, New Britain, CT 06051. Using a terminal for drop-off or pickup can reduce your overall shipping cost. We also offer full door-to-door service throughout Connecticut with no terminal visit required.
-
Is there a military discount available for Connecticut motorcycle shipping?
Yes. Active duty military and veterans can request a military discount. Mention it when getting your quote online or call us at 1-888-347-1391 to apply the discount to your shipment.
-
Does the gas tank need to be empty before shipping?
No — you do not need to drain the tank completely. We ask that it be no more than one-quarter full for safety in transit. Please also remove any personal items from saddlebags or attached storage before pickup.
-
Can you ship a motorcycle I bought online to my Connecticut address?
Yes. We regularly handle motorcycles purchased through eBay, Cycle Trader, and private sellers. We coordinate pickup from the seller’s location anywhere in the country and deliver directly to your Connecticut address — or to our Hartford terminal if you prefer to pick it up there.
-
How does door-to-door motorcycle shipping work in Connecticut?
With door-to-door service, we pick up your motorcycle directly from your Connecticut address and deliver it to the destination address anywhere in the U.S. No terminal visit is required.
