Ship a motorcycle to or from Vermont
AA Motorcycle Shipping has been coordinating motorcycle shipments nationwide since 1983. We handle everything from pickup to delivery — door-to-door across the country, including all of Vermont.
Vermont door-to-door service
There is no AA Motorcycle Shipping terminal located inside Vermont. That means your shipment is handled door-to-door statewide — we pick up directly from your address anywhere in Vermont and deliver to your destination, or vice versa. No terminal drop-off required on your end.
Riders in Burlington, Montpelier, Brattleboro, Rutland, St. Johnsbury, and every corner of the Green Mountain State are served the same way: a driver comes to you. If you prefer a terminal drop-off at your destination end, our nearest terminals are in Lowell, MA and Hartford, CT.

Popular Vermont motorcycle shipping routes
Vermont motorcycle shipping services
Door-to-Door
We pick up your motorcycle directly from your home, workplace, or any address in Vermont and deliver it to the destination address. No terminal visits needed on either end. Our most popular option for Vermont riders.
Terminal Combinations
Can’t be home for pickup? Drop your bike at our nearest terminal (Lowell, MA or Hartford, CT) and we deliver door-to-door on the other end — or vice versa. Mix and match to fit your schedule.
Terminal-to-Terminal
Drop off at one terminal and pick up at another. The most economical option if you’re near a terminal on both ends. Vermont shipments typically use Lowell, MA or Hartford, CT as the originating terminal.
Non-palletized vs. palletized shipping
We offer two motorcycle shipping methods. Both travel inside enclosed freight trailers — your bike is never on an open car hauler.
Non-Palletized (Standard)
Your motorcycle is secured directly to the trailer floor with professional-grade straps. This is our most common method and the one used for the majority of Vermont shipments. Cost-effective and safe for most street bikes, cruisers, and touring bikes.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is mounted on a wooden pallet and crated or wrapped before loading. Preferred for high-value, rare, or custom bikes where maximum protection matters. Your bike never touches the trailer floor directly. Ask about palletized service when you get your quote.

Schedule & we coordinate
Once you place your order, we coordinate your shipment through Central Dispatch, matching you with a vetted carrier heading your direction. We manage the logistics from start to finish.
Track & receive delivery
Monitor your shipment at the shipping page. Your driver will contact you before pickup and delivery. Your bike arrives at the door — just inspect and sign.
The right choice for Vermont motorcycle shipping
Vermont riders face a unique challenge: the state has no AA Motorcycle Shipping terminal, which means any company shipping your bike needs to operate door-to-door reliably across the full state — including rural areas, mountain towns, and communities that some carriers simply won’t service. We’ve been doing exactly that since 1983. With 47 terminals and an established network of vetted freight carriers, we have the infrastructure to pick up from Burlington, Stowe, Bennington, or anywhere else in Vermont.
We are not a broker that sells your information to the highest bidder. When you request a quote from AA Motorcycle Shipping, we are the company that coordinates your shipment — start to finish. You deal with us, not a rotating cast of third parties. That single-point-of-contact model is what has kept riders coming back for over four decades, and it’s why we have more than 3,000 verified reviews averaging 4.7 stars.
Vermont’s riding season is short and precious. Whether you’re shipping your bike south for the winter, bringing a purchase back from another state, or relocating, timing matters. Our team understands seasonal shipping patterns in the Northeast and can advise on the best windows to get your bike where it needs to go without unnecessary delays.
Every shipment — whether non-palletized or palletized — travels in an enclosed freight trailer. Your motorcycle is never exposed to the elements on an open car hauler. We believe that’s the only acceptable standard for shipping a bike you’ve spent time and money on, and it’s been our standard since day one.

What Vermont riders say
“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.”

Transit times depend on distance and carrier routing. Short runs to New York can take 2–3 days. Mid-distance routes to the South or Midwest typically take about a week. Cross-country routes to the West Coast generally take around 2 weeks. We’ll give you an estimated window when you place your order.
-
Is there a terminal in Vermont?
No, there is no AA Motorcycle Shipping terminal located in Vermont. All Vermont shipments are handled door-to-door — we come to your address for pickup and deliver directly to the destination. If you’d prefer to use a terminal, the nearest options are in Lowell, MA and Hartford, CT.
-
What’s the difference between non-palletized and palletized shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method: your motorcycle is secured directly to the trailer floor with professional-grade straps inside an enclosed freight trailer. Palletized is our premium method: the bike is mounted on a wooden pallet and crated or wrapped before loading, which adds extra protection during transit. Both methods use enclosed trailers — your bike is never on an open hauler.
-
Is there a military discount for Vermont motorcycle shipping?
Yes. AA Motorcycle Shipping offers a military discount for active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Ask about your discount when you call us at 1-888-347-1391 or mention it when placing your order online.
-
Does my gas tank need to be empty for shipping?
Your tank doesn’t need to be completely empty, but we recommend reducing fuel to ¼ tank or less before pickup. This reduces weight and is a standard safety requirement for enclosed freight shipments.
-
Can I ship a motorcycle I bought online from another state to Vermont?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common scenarios we handle. If you’ve purchased a bike from a seller in another state and need it delivered to your Vermont address, we’ll coordinate the pickup and door-to-door delivery. The seller doesn’t need to do anything other than make the bike available for pickup.
-
Is door-to-door service really available everywhere in Vermont?
Yes. Because Vermont has no terminal, door-to-door is our standard service for the entire state. That includes Burlington, Montpelier, Brattleboro, Rutland, St. Johnsbury, Newport, and rural areas across the state. If a carrier can legally reach your address, we can coordinate your shipment.
