Common motorcycle shipping routes for Kentucky
Kentucky motorcycle shipping services
We offer four service combinations. Since Kentucky is served door-to-door, most Kentucky customers choose door-to-door or door-to-terminal.
Door-to-Door
We pick up at your Kentucky address and deliver to the destination address. No terminals required on either end. The most convenient option for Kentucky riders.
Door-to-Terminal
We pick up at your Kentucky address and deliver to a terminal near the destination city. Great if you’re near one of our 47 terminals at the receiving end.
Terminal-to-Door
Drop your motorcycle at one of our nearest terminals (Nashville, TN or Columbus, OH) and we deliver it to the destination address. A cost-effective option if you can reach the terminal.

Kentucky’s trusted motorcycle shipping company
AA Motorcycle Shipping has been coordinating motorcycle shipments across the country since 1983. For Kentucky riders — whether you’re in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Owensboro, or anywhere in between — we handle the entire shipping process start to finish. We’re not a lead-gen broker that passes your information to the lowest bidder. We coordinate your shipment directly through Central Dispatch and stay involved from pickup to delivery.
Kentucky doesn’t have a state terminal, which means every shipment in and out of the Bluegrass State is handled door-to-door. That’s actually an advantage for most customers — no driving to a drop-off location, no extra logistics on your end. A driver comes to you. If you’re purchasing a motorcycle online from a seller elsewhere in the country, we can coordinate pickup at their location and deliver it straight to your Kentucky address.
We work with freight carriers that haul motorcycles in enclosed trailers — not open car haulers. Your bike is never exposed to road debris or weather during transit. Whether you choose non-palletized or palletized shipping, your motorcycle is secured by experienced handlers and transported with the care it deserves.
With 47 terminals nationwide and over four decades in business, we’ve built the carrier relationships and the systems to move motorcycles reliably in every direction. Get your instant quote online, or call our team at 1-888-347-1391 — we’re happy to answer questions before you book.

What customers say
“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.”

-
How long does it take to ship a motorcycle to or from Kentucky?
Transit times from Kentucky range from 5 days for shorter hauls (like Louisville to New York or Norfolk, VA) to 1–2 weeks for long-distance routes such as Louisville to Seattle. Actual transit time depends on pickup and delivery locations and carrier routing.
-
What is the difference between non-palletized and palletized motorcycle shipping?
Non-palletized shipping is our standard method — your motorcycle is rolled onto a freight trailer and secured with straps. It’s the most common and cost-effective option. Palletized shipping mounts your bike onto a wooden pallet for additional protection and is ideal for lower-clearance bikes, show bikes, or owners who want extra peace of mind during transit.
-
Does AA Motorcycle Shipping have a terminal in Kentucky?
We do not have a terminal in Kentucky. We offer door-to-door service throughout the state, meaning a driver will pick up your motorcycle at your home, business, or other location anywhere in Kentucky and deliver it to your destination. Our nearest terminals are in Nashville, TN and Columbus, OH.
-
Is there a military discount for Kentucky motorcycle shipping?
Yes. AA Motorcycle Shipping offers a military discount for active duty and veteran service members. Simply request the discount when you call or place your order. You can reach us at 1-888-347-1391.
-
Does my motorcycle need a full gas tank for shipping?
No — in fact, it should not be full. For freight shipping, motorcycles must have a low fuel level (typically no more than ¼ tank) to comply with freight carrier safety requirements. Please drain your tank to a low level before pickup.
-
Can I ship a motorcycle I bought online from Kentucky?
Absolutely. We regularly ship motorcycles purchased through online marketplaces, dealerships, and auctions. We can coordinate pickup directly with the seller anywhere in Kentucky and deliver the bike to your door, even if you’re across the country.
-
Is door-to-door service available everywhere in Kentucky?
Yes. Since we don’t have a terminal in Kentucky, all of our Kentucky shipments are handled door-to-door. Whether you’re in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Paducah, or a rural area, we coordinate pickup and delivery to your specific address.
