Popular Indiana motorcycle shipping routes
Indiana motorcycle shipping service types
Door-to-Door
We dispatch a carrier to pick up your motorcycle directly at your Indiana address and deliver it to the door of your destination — no terminal visits required. This is the most convenient option for most riders.
Terminal Combinations
Drop your motorcycle at one of our nearest terminals (Bolingbrook, IL or Columbus, OH) and have it delivered to a door on the other end — or vice versa. A flexible option when you want savings on one leg of the trip.
Terminal-to-Terminal
Drop off at a terminal near Indiana and pick up at a terminal near your destination. Available at any of our 47 terminals nationwide. Often the most economical choice for longer cross-country routes.
Non-palletized vs. palletized motorcycle shipping
AA Motorcycle Shipping offers two methods for transporting your bike. Both travel inside enclosed freight trailers — your motorcycle is never loaded onto an open car hauler.
Non-Palletized (Standard)
Your motorcycle is loaded upright and secured with straps inside the trailer. This is our standard method — reliable, widely available, and the choice for most shipments. The bike is never exposed to weather or road debris.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is mounted on a wooden pallet and may be crated for additional protection. Palletized shipping is ideal for high-value, vintage, or custom bikes where maximum care is a priority. Ask about this option when you get your quote.

Why Indiana riders trust AA Motorcycle Shipping
Indiana has a deep motorcycle culture — from the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the back roads of Brown County and the long stretches of US-40 cutting across the heartland. Whether you’re relocating from Indianapolis to the coasts, buying a bike from a dealership across the country, or sending your ride ahead before a cross-country trip, AA Motorcycle Shipping has been the company Indiana riders call since 1983.
We don’t own trucks, and we’re not a lead-gen broker that hands your information to a dozen carriers. We work through Central Dispatch — the same network used by professional transport coordinators nationwide — and we manage your shipment from booking to delivery. That means one point of contact, real accountability, and no surprises at pickup.
Indiana sits in the geographic center of the eastern half of the country, which actually works in your favor for transit times. Our nearest terminals in Bolingbrook, IL and Columbus, OH connect Indiana to coast-to-coast routes efficiently. Door-to-door service is available across the entire state — Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Muncie, Terre Haute, and every smaller town in between.
With more than 3,000 verified reviews and a 4.7-star average, we stand behind every shipment. Call us at 1-888-347-1391 or get an instant quote above — no email required.

How long does it take to ship a motorcycle from Indiana?
Transit times depend on the destination. Shorter Midwest-to-East Coast runs typically take 5 days. Longer routes to the West Coast, Pacific Northwest, or Southwest typically take about 1 week. These are estimates — we provide a more specific window when your shipment is booked and a carrier is assigned.
-
Does AA Motorcycle Shipping have a terminal in Indiana?
We do not have a terminal inside Indiana. However, we offer full door-to-door service statewide, so you don’t need to travel to a terminal. If you prefer terminal drop-off, our nearest locations are in Bolingbrook, IL and Columbus, OH.
-
What is the difference between non-palletized and palletized motorcycle shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method — your motorcycle is loaded upright and secured with straps inside an enclosed freight trailer. Palletized shipping mounts the bike on a wooden pallet and may include crating for extra protection. Both methods use enclosed trailers; your bike is never on an open car hauler. Palletized is recommended for high-value, vintage, or custom motorcycles.
-
Do I need to drain the gas tank before shipping?
You do not need to drain the tank completely, but we recommend leaving it no more than a quarter full. A full tank adds unnecessary weight and some carriers require a low fuel level for safety compliance. Leave just enough fuel to load and unload the bike.
-
Is there a military discount for Indiana shipments?
Yes. AA Motorcycle Shipping offers a military discount for active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Mention your military status when requesting your quote or when placing your order, and we will apply the discount to your shipment.
-
Can I ship a motorcycle I bought online from an Indiana dealer?
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate shipments for online motorcycle purchases. The seller or dealership does not need to be present — we can arrange pickup directly from the Indiana dealer’s location and deliver door-to-door to you anywhere in the country. Contact us at 1-888-347-1391 to discuss logistics.
-
Is door-to-door service available everywhere in Indiana?
Yes. We provide door-to-door motorcycle shipping throughout Indiana — Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Evansville, Bloomington, Terre Haute, Muncie, and all surrounding areas. You do not need to be near a terminal to use our service.
