Shipping Methods

Non-palletized vs. palletized shipping

We ship motorcycles two ways. Your quote will show pricing for both — here’s what each method means for your bike.

Non-palletized motorcycle shipping — bike secured upright inside enclosed freight trailer

Non-palletized (standard)

Your motorcycle is secured upright inside an enclosed freight trailer using professional straps and blocking — no crate or pallet required. This is the most common method, and what most bikes ship on. It’s safe, reliable, and cost-effective.

Palletized motorcycle shipping — bike crated on a pallet for maximum protection

Palletized (premium)

Your motorcycle is mounted on a pallet and crated for maximum protection during transit. Recommended for rare, collectible, or high-value bikes where an extra layer of security is worth the added cost.

Why AA Motorcycle Shipping

Shipping motorcycles to and from Michigan since 1983

Michigan riders know their machines. Whether it’s a Harley built at the York plant making its way down to a buyer in Florida, a sport bike moving across the country after a private sale, or a restored classic that needs to be at a show in California, getting a motorcycle from point A to point B without putting miles on it requires a shipper you can trust. AA Motorcycle Shipping has been coordinating that process since 1983 — before most of today’s motorcycle shipping companies existed.

We operate two Michigan terminals — in Detroit’s Redford area and in Grand Rapids — which means we can offer terminal-to-terminal and terminal-to-door pricing for riders in the lower peninsula’s most populated corridors. If you’re in a more rural part of the state, door-to-door service comes directly to you. We coordinate your shipment start to finish through Central Dispatch, matching your bike with vetted carriers who handle motorcycles regularly — not as an afterthought alongside car loads.

Michigan winters are long, and a lot of our Michigan customers ship their bikes south — to Florida, Arizona, or Texas — while they head there for a few months, then bring them back when the season turns. If that’s your situation, we can help you build a reliable routine for seasonal transport. We also work with dealers, estate sales, and online marketplace buyers throughout the state who need bikes moved quickly and cleanly.

Every shipment comes with insurance coverage, professional tie-down and securing, and a team that’s reachable by phone at 1-888-347-1391. We’ve done this for over 40 years because we do it right. Get your instant quote above and see what it costs to ship your Michigan motorcycle anywhere in the country.

Due to some communication failures, we were initially sent to the wrong address in Sacramento to drop off my '14 Ultra Limited. After several frantic calls to AA Shipping in San Diego, we finally reached the Valley Relocation and Storage dispatcher who went out of her way to find us in that industrial complex. Danielle was fantastic!! Once she took control of the situation, I was able to ride the bike onto the custom pallet, warehouse gentlemen (super nice and real experts) carefully and expertly strapped the bike down, and my wife and I began our own drive across the country. We arrived in Massachusetts in 6 days; we got a phone call the following day--the bike arrived at the Sterling terminal in Lowell, MA on the 7th day! There, the guys were incredibly helpful getting the bike's battery jumped started. I can honestly say that you could do a lot worse with other motorcycle shippers, but you couldn't do better than AA Shipping. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

AMAZING service!. Julia started off by helping me navigate the on line process, then responded quickly to any questions I had throughout the transport. When a possible additional charge was suggested, Julia was able to mitigate it. My vehicle arrived in perfect condition, and the driver was very careful to unload it with great care. I could not be more pleased with the overall experience. Thank you, AA.
Response from the owner:Thanks very much for the business Todd

Fantastic service from start to finish. I contacted another company before them and was quoted nearly double the price. These guys were professional, affordable, and communicated with me throughout the entire process from pickup to delivery. No hidden fees, no surprises, and my bike arrived without any issues. I highly recommend them to anyone needing motorcycle transport.

I was extremely hesitant to ship my motorcycle from San Diego to Oregon. The thought of pre-paying $1,000 for strangers to come and load my bike up in their box truck and drive away, hoping to see them again a few days later, made me sick to my stomach. I'm so happy I was absolutely wrong to have any negative thoughts about AA Motorcycle Shipping. They were extremely professional, communicative, and took great care of my bike. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to ship a motorcycle anywhere in the country!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the trust and the business Riley.

got my motorcycle from Maryland to Utah in a pretty timely manner. I also needed some same day shipping and they were able to accommodate me by allowing me to bring the motorcycle to their shipping facility to get it on a crate. The customer service agent I called was also super helpful (she works in accounting, can't remember her name). Will absolutely use again if the need arises.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the business Caelan and her name is Julia.

AA Motorcycle did a great job moving my bike from Dallas to Las Vegas. The bike was delivered efficiently without any damage which sounds simple but if you've shipped a bike before you know is not always the case. They showed a lot of flexibility by delivering it to a location which wasn't originally requested when I made the reservations. I would use AA again if I needed to move my bike again in the future.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the business

FAQ

Michigan motorcycle shipping — frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle to or from Michigan?
Cost depends on your specific pickup and delivery addresses, the distance, and your chosen shipping method (non-palletized or palletized). Short regional routes within the Midwest typically cost less than long-haul cross-country shipments. Use our quote form above to see your exact price instantly — no email required.
How long does Michigan motorcycle shipping take?
Transit time depends on the distance. Short runs to neighboring states may take 2–4 days. Long-haul routes to the West Coast typically take about a week. Estimated transit time is shown in your quote. Keep in mind that weather and carrier availability can affect actual delivery windows.
What is the difference between non-palletized and palletized shipping?
Non-palletized is the standard method — your motorcycle is secured upright inside an enclosed freight trailer using professional straps and blocking. This is what the majority of bikes ship on. Palletized means your bike is mounted on a pallet and crated, which adds a layer of protection recommended for high-value, rare, or collectible motorcycles. Both methods are safe; palletized simply costs more.
Where are AA Motorcycle Shipping’s Michigan terminals?
We have two Michigan terminals: Detroit (26765 Fullerton, Redford, MI 48239) and Grand Rapids (618 32nd St SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49548). Terminal drop-off and pickup options can reduce your overall shipping cost compared to full door-to-door service. See the full terminal list to find the closest location to you at the destination.
Is there a military discount for Michigan motorcycle shipping?
Yes. We offer a military discount for active duty service members, veterans, and first responders. Get your quote above and call us at 1-888-347-1391 to apply the discount to your order.
Does the gas tank need to be empty when shipping a motorcycle?
The gas tank does not need to be completely empty, but it should be at a low level — no more than a quarter tank is generally recommended for freight shipping. Drain the tank to a safe level before your pickup date. If you have questions about preparation, call us and we’ll walk you through it.
Can I ship a motorcycle I bought online from a Michigan seller?
Yes — this is one of the most common reasons people use us. If you bought a motorcycle through eBay, Craigslist, Cycle Trader, or a private sale from a Michigan seller, we can pick it up directly from the seller’s location and deliver it to you anywhere in the country. You don’t need to be present at pickup.
Is door-to-door service available everywhere in Michigan?
Yes. Door-to-door service is available throughout Michigan — including the Upper Peninsula. We coordinate pickup and delivery at your specific address regardless of location. More rural or remote areas may have slightly longer lead times for scheduling, but we cover the entire state.
