Three Ways to Ship Your Motorcycle in Texas
Whether you want maximum convenience or the most affordable option, we have a service that fits your needs.

We pick up your motorcycle at your home, dealership, or storage unit anywhere in Texas — and deliver it directly to the destination address. No terminal visit required. Ideal for riders who want a completely hands-off experience.
🏢 Terminal Combinations
Drop off or pick up at one of our four Texas terminals while we handle door service on the other end. Mix and match to match your schedule. Great for riders near Dallas, Houston, Midland, or San Antonio who want to save on cost.

Why Texas Riders Choose AA Motorcycle Shipping
Texas is a big state — over 800 miles from El Paso to Beaumont — and that scale shapes how motorcycle shipping works here. Whether you’re moving a Harley from Houston to the Pacific Coast, shipping a sport bike you purchased from a dealer in Dallas, or sending a vintage bike to a restoration shop out of state, you need a company with the infrastructure to handle Texas-sized distances reliably. With four terminals in Dallas, Houston, Midland, and San Antonio, we’re positioned to serve riders in every major metro and the wide open stretches in between.
Texas summers are no joke. July and August heat in cities like Midland and San Antonio can be brutal, and we factor that into how we handle bikes during hot-weather months. Our enclosed trailers keep your motorcycle out of direct sun and away from road debris, whether it’s crossing the desert Southwest or heading through the Gulf Coast humidity toward Florida. That protection matters — especially for bikes with custom paint, chrome trim, or temperature-sensitive electronics.
We’ve been in business since 1983, which means we’ve shipped motorcycles for Texas riders through multiple generations of bikes — from classic American V-twins to modern adventure tourers and everything in between. We coordinate your shipment start to finish, so you don’t have to manage logistics between multiple vendors. One call, one point of contact, one company responsible from pickup to delivery.
Texas is also home to a significant military population, with installations across the state from Fort Cavazos near Killeen to Joint Base San Antonio. Military members shipping personal vehicles during a PCS move can ask about our military discount — we’ve worked with service members for decades and understand the pressure of tight relocation timelines. Whether you’re heading stateside or shipping a bike back from storage, we’ll work around your schedule.

What Customers 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.”
Texas Motorcycle Shipping — Common Questions
How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle to or from Texas?
Prices vary by distance and service type. Based on routes from Dallas, sample costs range from $675 for shorter hauls like Chicago or Phoenix, to $955 for long runs to New York or Seattle. Use our online quote tool for an exact price — no email required.
How long does motorcycle shipping to or from Texas take?
Transit times depend on distance. Shorter routes like Dallas to Chicago take about 5 days. Most cross-country routes — such as Texas to New York, Miami, or Seattle — take approximately 1 week. San Diego runs can be faster at 2–3 days depending on routing.
What is the difference between palletized and non-palletized shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method — your bike is loaded directly into an enclosed trailer and secured with straps and wheel chocks. Palletized is our premium method — your motorcycle is bolted to a wooden pallet for extra protection. Palletized is recommended for non-running bikes, high-value bikes, vintage motorcycles, and custom builds.
Where are the motorcycle shipping terminals in Texas?
We have four terminals in Texas: Dallas (2242 Manana Drive, Dallas TX 75220), Houston (9619 Kirkton, Houston TX 77095), Midland (3411 W Industrial Ave, Midland TX 79703), and San Antonio (1618 Cornerway Blvd., San Antonio TX 78219).
Is there a military discount for motorcycle shipping?
Yes. We offer a military discount — just ask when you book your shipment. This applies to active duty, reserve, veterans, and dependent family members. Texas has one of the largest military populations in the country, and we’re proud to support service members shipping bikes during PCS moves and deployments.
How much gas should be in the tank when I ship my motorcycle?
You should have no more than a quarter tank of fuel when your motorcycle is picked up or dropped off at a terminal. This is a safety requirement — fuel is considered a hazardous material during transport. Texas summer heat makes this extra important, as high temperatures increase fuel volatility.
Can I ship a motorcycle I purchased online from a Texas dealer?
Absolutely. We ship motorcycles purchased from dealers and private sellers across Texas on a regular basis. Just give us the pickup address — whether it’s a dealership in Dallas, a private seller in Houston, or an auction in San Antonio — and we’ll coordinate the rest directly with the seller if needed.
Does door-to-door service mean you come to my home in Texas?
Yes. Door-to-door service means we dispatch a driver to pick up your motorcycle at your home address, workplace, storage unit, or dealership anywhere in Texas — and deliver it directly to the destination address you specify. No terminal visit is required on either end, though some very rural locations may require a short drive to a nearby meeting point.
