Finding quality motorcycle transport

Whether you’re shipping your motorcycle for a bike rally, vacation, relocation or a new bike purchase, you’ll want to use a motorcycle transport company that specializes in hauling bikes.

What do you look for when choosing a company that is qualified to do motorcycle transport?

• A service that is licensed, insured, and employs CERTIFIED motorcycle transport people to handle your bike, by checking references and testimonials from other satisfied customers.

• A company that has the proper equipment to handle your motorcycle so that you know they are minimizing the chances of your motorcycle incurring damage.

• A place that delivers your bike ready-to-go with fluids intact and battery connected.

Motorcycle transport questions:

• Will my bike be delivered directly to my home (or rally) or does it have to be picked up at a dealer location or terminal?

• Are there any additional fees, such as extra costs for insurance or special delivery location?

• Is the company insured and licensed?

• How many years of experience do they have hauling motorcycles?

• Are they a residential and commercial delivery service?  Using a company that dealers use offers credibility.

• Will I have to do anything to prepare the bike before shipping?  Some companies will have you crate your vehicle, drain fluids and disconnect the battery.

• Will my motorcycle be shipped with other cargo, such as livestock or someone’s furniture?

• Does the company ship with open or enclosed trailers?  Open trailers may increase risk of damage.

• How will the bike be secured in the truck?

• Will the driver help me unload my bike from the truck?

• Will my bike be ready to drive upon delivery?

When choosing motorcycle transportation, look for a company that stands behind their name, on and off paper. And one that provides a solid price estimate. Daily Direct Motorcycle Transportation provides FREE instant rate quotes. Get a quote online or call us at 1-888-HAULBIKES.
