Shipping Services

South Dakota motorcycle shipping options

Door-to-Door

The most convenient option. We pick up your motorcycle directly from your home, storage facility, or dealership in South Dakota and deliver it to the destination address. No terminal visits required.

Terminal Combinations

Drop your bike at our nearest terminal in Minneapolis, MN or Omaha, NE, and we’ll deliver it door-to-door at the destination — or pick up door-to-door in South Dakota and deliver to a terminal near the recipient.

Terminal-to-Terminal

Drop off at one of our 47 terminals nationwide and pick up at another. A cost-effective option when you’re flexible on timing and willing to travel to a terminal location.


Shipping Methods

Non-palletized vs. palletized motorcycle shipping

Both methods use enclosed freight trailers. Motorcycles are never placed on open car haulers.

Non-palletized motorcycle shipping — secured inside enclosed trailer

Non-Palletized (Standard)

Your motorcycle is rolled into an enclosed freight trailer and secured directly to the floor using straps and wheel chocks. This is our standard shipping method and the choice for most customers.

Palletized motorcycle shipping — mounted on wooden pallet inside enclosed trailer

Palletized (Premium)

Your motorcycle is mounted on a wooden pallet before loading, adding an extra layer of protection and stability during transit. A good choice for show bikes, high-value motorcycles, or custom builds.

Why AA Motorcycle Shipping

Trusted South Dakota motorcycle shipping since 1983

Shipping a motorcycle out of South Dakota — or bringing one in — requires a company that understands the state’s geography and knows how to coordinate reliable freight service to and from a region without a dense terminal network. AA Motorcycle Shipping has been coordinating motorcycle shipments across the country since 1983, and South Dakota is a route we know well. Whether you’re in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Brookings, or a smaller town, we pick up at your door and deliver to any destination in the country.

South Dakota riders know August means one thing: Sturgis. Every year, thousands of motorcycles come and go from the Black Hills during rally week — and we’ve helped riders ship their bikes to and from Sturgis for decades. If you want your motorcycle waiting for you when you arrive, or you want it shipped home after the rally instead of riding it back, we can coordinate door-to-door service to accommodate your schedule. Booking ahead during rally season is strongly recommended.

We are not a lead-gen broker. When you book with AA Motorcycle Shipping, we manage your shipment from pick-up to delivery — coordinating through Central Dispatch, communicating with the carrier, and keeping you informed throughout. You’ll have a real point of contact and access to our online tracking portal. We don’t hand you off to another company and disappear.

With 47 terminals nationwide and over 40 years in business, we have the relationships and infrastructure to move motorcycles reliably across every major corridor in the country. Our 4.7-star rating across 3,083 verified reviews reflects the standard we hold ourselves to on every shipment — including yours.

This was my first time arranging transport for a motorcycle and my experience was excellent. Every step was seamless from quote to payment from pick-up to delivery. The driver communicated with us and was prompt regarding drop off time. I will recommend AA to colleagues and friends needing vehicles transported in the future.

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.

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.

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.

    Shipping a motorcycle to or from South Dakota typically ranges from $930 to $1,145 depending on distance. For example, Sioux Falls to Denver, CO is around $930, while Sioux Falls to San Diego, CA or Miami, FL is around $1,145. Use our quote form for an exact price — no email required.

  • What is the difference between non-palletized and palletized shipping?

    Non-palletized shipping is our standard method — your motorcycle is loaded directly into an enclosed freight trailer, secured with straps and wheel chocks. Palletized shipping adds a wooden pallet base for extra protection and stability. Both methods use enclosed trailers; motorcycles are never placed on open car haulers.

  • Does the gas tank need to be empty before shipping?

    Your gas tank should be no more than a quarter full at the time of pick-up. This is a standard freight carrier safety requirement and applies to all motorcycle shipments, regardless of route or method.

    Yes. We regularly ship motorcycles purchased through online listings and auctions. We can pick up directly from the seller’s location in South Dakota — or anywhere in the country — and deliver to your door. We coordinate everything start to finish.

Excellent service! They were on time picking up my motorcycle and delivered it exactly where and when I specified. I would definitely recommend AA Motorcyle Shipping for all my transportation needs.

Verified customer review
“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 motorcycle shipping to or from South Dakota take?

    Most routes to or from South Dakota take approximately one week. Shorter hauls — like Sioux Falls to Denver — can arrive in about 5 days. Transit times vary based on route, distance, and carrier scheduling.

  • What is the difference between non-palletized and palletized shipping?

    Non-palletized shipping is our standard method — your motorcycle is loaded directly into an enclosed freight trailer, secured with straps and wheel chocks. Palletized shipping adds a wooden pallet base for extra protection and stability. Both methods use enclosed trailers; motorcycles are never placed on open car haulers.

  • Does AA Motorcycle Shipping have a terminal in South Dakota?

    We do not currently have a terminal in South Dakota. We provide door-to-door service statewide, picking up and delivering directly at your address anywhere in the state. Nearest terminal options are in Minneapolis, MN and Omaha, NE if you prefer terminal service.

  • Do you offer a military discount?

    Yes. AA Motorcycle Shipping offers a military discount for active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Call us at 1-888-347-1391 to request your discount when booking.

  • Does the gas tank need to be empty before shipping?

    Your gas tank should be no more than a quarter full at the time of pick-up. This is a standard freight carrier safety requirement and applies to all motorcycle shipments, regardless of route or method.

  • Can I ship a motorcycle I purchased online?

    Yes. We regularly ship motorcycles purchased through online listings and auctions. We can pick up directly from the seller’s location in South Dakota — or anywhere in the country — and deliver to your door. We coordinate everything start to finish.

  • Do you ship motorcycles to or from the Sturgis Rally?

    Yes. We ship motorcycles to and from the Sturgis area every August during rally season. Whether you want your bike delivered to Sturgis before the event or shipped home afterward, we offer door-to-door pick-up and delivery. Demand is high during August — we recommend booking as early as possible.
