Car Shipping Blog

There are a number of differences between shipping a car and shipping a motorcycle. Because there’s more information about car shipping than bike shipping,

Bikes can be shipped ready to drive. No need to empty the tank, take parts off or disconnect the battery.

Bikes are always shipped in enclosed containers. This is to protect them from the environment, as well as to prevent damage from movement and shaking.

Most companies shipping motorcycle offer insurance with a deductible. While amounts vary, a $500 deductible is common. This can be a problem if you want the company to cover all damages, including scratches that may occur during vehicle shipping. If you would rather have a smaller deductible (or not deductible at all), you can probably negotiate a smaller insurance payout.
