Common Idaho motorcycle shipping routes
Idaho riders ship for all kinds of reasons — seasonal terrain changes, out-of-state events, and cross-country relocations. Here are the routes we coordinate most often.
Idaho motorcycle shipping services
Choose the service combination that fits your schedule and budget.
Door-to-Door
We pick up from your driveway anywhere in Idaho and deliver to any address nationwide. The most convenient option — no terminal visit required. Available statewide, including rural areas.
Terminal Combinations
Drop off or pick up at our Boise terminal to reduce cost. Mix terminal and door-to-door service on either end of the shipment — drop off in Boise and have it delivered to your door, or vice versa.
Terminal-to-Terminal
Drop your bike at our Boise terminal and pick it up at one of our 47 terminals nationwide. The most cost-effective option for flexible riders who can get to a terminal at both ends.
Non-palletized vs. palletized shipping
Both methods use enclosed freight trailers. We never use open car haulers. Choose based on your bike’s value and how much protection you want for the journey.
Non-Palletized (Standard)
Your motorcycle is secured with straps directly inside an enclosed freight trailer. This is our standard, most popular method — safe, proven, and used for the vast majority of shipments. Ideal for most production and touring bikes.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is mounted on a wooden pallet and partially crated for extra protection. Recommended for rare, custom, vintage, or high-value bikes where additional protection matters. Ask about palletized service when you get your quote.

Idaho riders have trusted us since 1983
Idaho is one of the most terrain-diverse states in the country — high desert in the south, rugged mountain passes through the Sawtooth Range, river canyons, and volcanic plains. That variety makes it a bucket-list destination for riders coming in from out of state, and it shapes how Idaho-based riders think about their seasons. When the mountain passes close and winter sets in, a lot of Idaho riders ship their bikes south to Arizona or California rather than park them for months. We’ve been coordinating those seasonal moves for over forty years.
Idaho is also a regional hub for major riding events. The state sits within a day’s ride of the Black Hills Sturgis Rally in South Dakota, and several of Idaho’s own events — including Hell’s Canyon Motorcycle Rally and Twin Falls area rides — draw riders from across the Pacific Northwest and Mountain West each year. Shipping your bike to or from a rally is a smart call when you’d rather arrive fresh than add a thousand miles of highway riding each way. Our Boise terminal makes that straightforward.
We’re not a broker and we don’t pass your shipment off to another company. When you book with AA Motorcycle Shipping, we coordinate your shipment start to finish through Central Dispatch — the industry-standard platform used by professional transporters nationwide. You deal with one company, one contact, and one agreement from pickup to delivery.
With our Boise terminal at 3241 S. Denver Way and door-to-door service available throughout the state — from Coeur d’Alene in the north to Twin Falls and Pocatello in the south — Idaho riders have flexible options regardless of where they’re located.

What riders are saying
“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.”

What is the difference between non-palletized and palletized motorcycle shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method — your motorcycle rides secured with straps inside an enclosed freight trailer. Palletized adds a wooden pallet and partial crating for extra protection, ideal for custom, vintage, or high-value bikes. Both methods use enclosed trailers. We never use open car haulers.
-
Does AA Motorcycle Shipping have a terminal in Idaho?
Yes. Our Boise terminal is at 3241 S. Denver Way, Boise, ID 83705. Dropping your bike at the terminal instead of using door-to-door pickup can reduce your shipping cost. Visit the Boise terminal page for hours and drop-off details.
-
Do you offer a military discount for Idaho motorcycle shipping?
Yes. We offer a military discount upon request. Mention it when you place your order or call us at 1-888-347-1391.
-
Should I drain the gas tank before shipping my motorcycle?
We recommend leaving no more than one-quarter tank of fuel. Freight regulations limit flammable liquids during transport. Leave just enough fuel so the bike can be ridden on and off the trailer during loading and unloading.
-
Can you ship a motorcycle I purchased online or from a private seller in Idaho?
Absolutely. We coordinate pickups from private sellers, dealerships, and auction sites across Idaho regularly. Provide the seller’s name, address, and contact number when booking and we’ll handle the pickup coordination directly with them.
-
Is door-to-door motorcycle shipping available throughout Idaho?
Yes. Door-to-door service is available statewide — not just in the Boise area. Whether you’re in Coeur d’Alene, Twin Falls, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, or a more rural location, we can arrange pickup at your address.
