How we ship motorcycles in California
Fully enclosed transport
Your bike rides inside a closed trailer, out of the rain, road grime, rock chips, and sight of passers-by.
Door to door
We pick up at your address and deliver to the address you choose. If a street is too tight for a truck, we agree on a nearby meeting spot with you first.
Soft-tie straps
Straps wrap the frame and triple clamps, not painted or chromed parts, and the front wheel sits in a chock so the bike stays upright.
Insured carriers
Your shipment is handled by insured carriers. Ask us for the coverage details on your shipment before you book.

When is the busiest time to ship a motorcycle in California?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months for shipments into and out of California. Allow 10 to 15 business days for transit, so book at least that far ahead of the date you need your bike.
Is it worth shipping a motorcycle from Los Angeles to New York, NY instead of riding?
At about 2,790 miles, riding means several days of fuel, lodging, tire wear, and time off work. Shipping in an enclosed trailer skips those miles and the bike arrives clean. Call to compare your exact price.
Can you ship a motorcycle a short distance, like Los Angeles to Las Vegas, NV?
Yes. Short regional moves of around 270 miles get the same enclosed trailer, soft-tie straps, and door-to-door service as cross-country trips.
