Minnesota motorcycle shipping services
Choose the combination that works for your schedule and budget.
Door-to-Door
We pick up from your driveway anywhere in Minnesota and deliver to any address nationwide. The most convenient option — no terminal visit required.
Terminal Combinations
Drop off or pick up at our Roseville terminal to reduce cost. Mix terminal and door-to-door service on either end of the shipment to fit your budget.
Terminal-to-Terminal
Drop your bike at our Roseville terminal and pick it up at one of our 47 terminals nationwide. The most cost-effective option for flexible riders.
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 your peace of mind.
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 bikes.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is mounted on a wooden pallet and partially crated for extra protection during transit. Recommended for rare, custom, or high-value bikes where additional protection matters. Ask about palletized service when you get your quote.

Minnesota riders have trusted us since 1983
Minnesota winters are no joke. When the temperatures drop and the roads ice over, a lot of riders choose to ship their motorcycle south rather than let it sit idle for months. We’ve been coordinating those snowbird shipments — from the Twin Cities to Florida, Arizona, and Texas — for over four decades. We know the routes, we know the timing, and we know how to get your bike there safely while you travel separately.
Minnesota is also Sturgis country. Every August, thousands of riders from the Twin Cities and beyond make the trip to the Black Hills Rally in South Dakota. Many of them ship their bike to Sturgis ahead of time — or ship it home afterward — rather than putting unnecessary miles on the machine. Our Roseville terminal makes that easy. Drop your bike off before you leave, and it’ll be waiting at the Sturgis area when you arrive.
We’re not a broker and we don’t sell your information to other companies. When you get a quote from AA Motorcycle Shipping, we’re the ones coordinating your shipment start to finish. We work through Central Dispatch — the same platform professional auto transporters use — and we manage every step so you don’t have to deal with multiple contacts or uncertainty about who actually has your bike.
With 47 terminals nationwide and a terminal right in the Twin Cities metro, Minnesota riders have flexible options whether you prefer door-to-door convenience or terminal drop-off to save on cost. Get your instant quote online in under a minute — no email required, no salesperson callback.

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.”

How long does it take to ship a motorcycle to or from Minnesota?

-
What is the difference between non-palletized and palletized motorcycle shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method — your motorcycle is secured with straps inside an enclosed freight trailer. Palletized adds a wooden pallet and partial crating for extra protection. Both use enclosed trailers; we never use open car haulers. Palletized is recommended for rare, custom, or high-value motorcycles.
-
Does AA Motorcycle Shipping have a terminal in Minnesota?
Yes. Our Minneapolis / Twin Cities terminal is located at 2480 Long Lake Road, Roseville, MN 55113. Using the terminal instead of door-to-door pickup can reduce your shipping cost. Visit the Minneapolis terminal page for full details including hours.
-
Do you offer a military discount for Minnesota 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 keeping the fuel level at no more than one-quarter tank. Freight regulations limit flammable liquids, and a lower fuel level reduces weight. Leave 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 Minnesota?
Absolutely. We coordinate pickups from private sellers, dealerships, and auction sites across Minnesota all the time. Provide us with the seller’s address and contact info when you book, and we’ll handle the pickup coordination directly.
-
Is door-to-door motorcycle shipping available statewide in Minnesota?
Yes. Door-to-door service is available throughout Minnesota — not just in the Twin Cities metro. Whether you’re in Duluth, Rochester, St. Cloud, Mankato, or a rural area, we can arrange pickup at your location. Get a quote online or call 1-888-347-1391 for remote area availability.
