Sample Motorcycle Shipping Rates

UNCRATED SHIPPING
PALLET SHIPPING
CONTAINER or CRATED SHIPPING

Uncrated (no pallet) roll on/roll off shipping rates range from $275 on short distance shipments to as low as $575 on most coast to coast shipments. The rate mainly depends on transport distance, origin/destination locations, size of vehicle and the current price of fuel. Shippingmasters negotiates with numerous uncrated motorcycle shipping companies, on most shipments we provide more than one uncrated shipping option for you to consider.

If you select the pallet shipping option, the shipper provides a wooden pallet and secures your bike to the pallet using soft tiedown straps (no pallet used for ATV shipments).

These base rate prices are based on a zone to zone guide:

• Transport within a zone is the least expensive.
• Transport across 1 zone is the next higher price.
• Transport across 2 zones is the next higher price.
• Transport cross country is the most expensive.

If your bike or ATV weighs over 700 pounds see additional charges below:

• Bikes/ATV’s between 700-799lbs add $50 to base rate.
• Bikes/ATV’s between 800-899lbs add $100 to base rate
• Bikes/ATV’s between 900-999lbs add $150 to base rate.
• Bikes/ATV’s between 1000-1099lbs add $200 to base rate.

If you select the container shipping option, the shipper provides a heavy duty metal container specifically designed for transporting bikes. You are required to bring the bike to the shippers origin terminal and place the bike inside their container. You then pick up the bike at the shippers destination terminal. You can also provide your own wooden crate, crate the bike, drop off and pick up the crated bike at the crated shippers terminals. The crated rate is $120-$290 less than the rates noted in the rate matrix above. The Container/Crated shippers terminals are located near the main airports in each city they service.
