Cost to Ship a Motorcycle
Motorcycles ride at roughly half the cost of a sedan on the same lane. The price depends less on size than on securement: a chock, soft ties over the triple tree, and a driver who has strapped a bike before.

Save money on this class
- Open transport is fine for a commuter bike; enclosed protects a custom paint job.
- Fold or remove mirrors and windshields so the bike sits tighter in the load.
- Drain the tank to about a quarter and disconnect the battery for long hauls.
