Top New York Motorcycle Shipping Routes
From winter snowbird escapes to cross-country adventures, New York riders ship year-round. Here are six of our most requested routes.
New York → Florida
New York City to Miami
One of the most popular snowbird routes in the country. New York riders regularly ship south each fall to beat the winter cold and ride Florida’s warm roads all season.
New York → Texas
New York City to Houston or Dallas
Riders relocating or heading to major motorcycle rallies frequently use this route. We coordinate the full haul so your bike arrives ready to ride.
New York → Nevada
New York City to Las Vegas
Whether you’re riding the Strip, heading to a desert event, or relocating, this long-haul route is one we run regularly between the Northeast and Nevada.
New York → Arizona
New York City to Phoenix
Escape the upstate New York winters and ship your bike to the Arizona sun. Phoenix is a top destination for snowbird riders looking for dry desert roads.
New York → Washington
New York City to Seattle
Cross-country relocation and adventure shipping from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest. We handle both directions and coordinate every detail.
New York → Virginia
New York City to Norfolk
A short-haul favorite among military families PCS-ing between the New York metro and the Hampton Roads area. Quick 2–3 day transit at a competitive rate.
How Would You Like Your Bike Shipped?
We offer three service combinations to fit your schedule and budget. All options include professional coordination from booking through delivery.
Door-to-Door
We come to your home or business to pick up your motorcycle and deliver it directly to your destination address. The most convenient option — no need to haul your bike to a terminal.
Terminal-to-Door / Door-to-Terminal
Drop your bike at our New York City area terminal and have it delivered to your destination door, or have it picked up at your door and delivered to a terminal near the recipient. A great way to reduce cost on one end of the trip.
Terminal-to-Terminal
Drop off at one of our terminals and pick up at a terminal near your destination. The most economical service option, ideal if you have flexibility on both ends and want to keep costs down.
Non-Palletized vs Palletized Shipping
Both methods transport your motorcycle inside an enclosed trailer — safe from weather, road debris, and prying eyes. The difference is how your bike is secured and positioned.
Non-Palletized (Standard)
Your motorcycle is loaded upright into the trailer using wheel chocks and tie-down straps. This is our standard shipping method — proven, cost-effective, and the most common way motorcycles travel cross-country. The vast majority of bikes ship this way without issue.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is secured to a wooden pallet before loading, providing an additional layer of protection and stability during transit. Palletized shipping is the premium option — ideal for high-value, custom, or low-clearance bikes where extra care is a priority.

We Schedule Your Pickup
We coordinate your shipment start to finish. A carrier will be dispatched to your New York location (or you’ll drop off at our terminal). Your bike is inspected and secured for transport.
Delivery to Your Door
Your motorcycle is delivered to your destination — home, business, or terminal. You inspect the bike at delivery and sign off. That’s it. Riding season starts wherever you need it to.
Why New York Riders Choose AA Motorcycle Shipping
New York’s riding season is compressed by reality. From December through February, upstate regions see heavy snow, ice, and road salt that make riding impractical — and hard on bikes. That’s why so many New York riders choose to ship south for the winter. Whether you’re heading to Florida, Texas, or Arizona, we coordinate your shipment start to finish so your motorcycle arrives clean, safe, and ready to ride the moment you land. We’ve been doing this since 1983, and snowbird shipping out of New York is one of our most consistent year-round services.
New York City presents its own logistics challenges. Urban pickups, tight streets, and limited parking require experience and flexibility. Our network includes a terminal in the Monroe Township, NJ area — conveniently accessible from the greater New York metro — giving city riders an easy drop-off option that keeps costs down. For those who prefer the ultimate convenience, door-to-door service is available throughout New York City’s five boroughs, Long Island, and upstate communities including Albany, Buffalo, and Syracuse.
Military families stationed at installations across New York State — from Fort Drum to West Point — frequently rely on us for PCS moves. Our military discount is available upon request, and our team understands the time pressure and coordination demands of a military relocation. We work around your orders and your timeline, not the other way around.
With 47 terminals nationwide and over four decades of experience, AA Motorcycle Shipping has the network and the know-how to move your bike anywhere in the contiguous United States. More than 3,083 verified reviews back up what our customers have known since 1983: when it comes to shipping a motorcycle to or from New York, we get it right.

Long-haul routes to Phoenix, Las Vegas, or Seattle generally take 1–2 weeks. Transit times are estimates and can vary with carrier availability and routing.
- What is the difference between non-palletized and palletized shipping?
- Non-palletized is our standard shipping method. Your motorcycle is loaded upright into an enclosed trailer using wheel chocks and straps — safe, proven, and the most common way bikes are transported. Palletized is our premium option: your bike is secured to a wooden pallet before loading, providing an extra layer of protection. Palletized shipping is ideal for high-value, custom, or low-clearance motorcycles.
- Do you have a terminal in New York?
- Yes. Our New York area terminal is located at 6 Fitzgerald Avenue, Monroe Township, NJ 08831 — conveniently accessible from New York City and the surrounding metro area. Using a terminal for drop-off or pickup is a great way to reduce your shipping cost. You can also request full door-to-door service anywhere in New York State.
- Is a military discount available for New York motorcycle shipping?
- Yes. We offer a military discount upon request. Whether you’re PCS-ing from Fort Drum, relocating from West Point, or shipping your bike for any other military-related reason, simply mention your military status when you book and we’ll apply the discount to your order.
- Does my gas tank need to be empty before shipping?
- Your tank does not need to be completely empty, but we recommend keeping it at a quarter tank or less. This reduces weight and minimizes any risk associated with fuel during transport. Make sure there are no fuel leaks before your motorcycle is loaded.
- Can I ship a motorcycle I bought online from a New York seller?
- Absolutely. We regularly coordinate shipments for online purchases — including bikes from eBay, Craigslist, dealer listings, and auction sites. We can pick up directly from the seller’s location in New York and deliver to you anywhere in the contiguous U.S. Just provide us with the pickup address and we handle the rest.
- Is door-to-door shipping available everywhere in New York State?
- Yes. Door-to-door service is available throughout New York State, including New York City’s five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, and all upstate areas including Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse. If a large carrier truck cannot access your exact street, we’ll work with you on the closest accessible pickup or delivery point.
