How to Transport a Motorcycle from Perth Amboy, New Jersey


If you require transporting a motorcycle to or from Perth Amboy, New Jersey, numerous motorcycle shipping services are available to assist you. Whether you're purchasing a pre-owned bike, selling a used one, or simply need to relocate your motorcycle from one location to another, discovering the ideal shipping company can seem daunting. However, don't fret - Shiply simplifies the process of comparing prices & companies, frequently offering quotes up to 75% lower than standard rates.


When it comes to transporting a motorcycle (and considering the expense), there are two primary options. The most affordable & basic choice is to have someone ride your bike to its destination. While this is straightforward, it does come with risks such as damage during the trip, increased mileage, and it only works if the motorcycle is functional. The most common method is using trailers, either open or enclosed. Enclosed trailers provide more protection against accidents & weather but typically cost more. Open trailers are less expensive but offer less protection. Door-to-door shipping is the most requested service, but terminal-to-terminal delivery at agreed pick-up and drop-off points is available if you reside somewhere difficult to reach.


The cost of transporting a motorcycle depends on several factors, but typically ranges from $180 to $300 for distances under 1,000 miles & $300 to $700 for longer trips. Key factors include distance, motorcycle size, service type, pick-up & delivery locations, and time of year. Winter weather conditions like ice and snow can make shipping more expensive compared to summer.


With so many motorcycle shippers offering similar services, selecting the best one for you can feel overwhelming. That's where Shiply comes in. Simply enter a few details about your shipment (like the make and model of the bike, pick-up location, & delivery destination) and companies will send quotes directly to your Shiply inbox. You can easily compare prices, service types, & reviews to find the right option. Be sure to check each company's feedback score & read reviews from previous Shiply users. You can also privately message any company to inquire about insurance, trailer types, & delivery schedules.


Companies on Shiply are often looking to fill extra space on pre-planned trips. By using Shiply to find motorcycle movers, you help reduce unnecessary vehicles on the road, making it an eco-friendly choice. It can also lead to some of the cheapest motorcycle shipping quotes - up to 75% less than typical rates! Since the transporters' costs are already accounted for & they're just looking to fill their vehicles, they can offer lower prices than dedicated motorcycle shipping services.


Once you've chosen a motorcycle hauler on Shiply, follow these steps to prepare your bike for transport: provide any necessary documents, remove personal items & thoroughly clean the bike, ensure proper fluid levels & tire pressure if the bike will be driven during transit, check if the shipper requires the steering to be locked or unlocked, and take detailed photos of the motorcycle's condition before pick-up.


When your motorcycle is delivered, test lights, engine, brakes & other crucial functions, compare the bike's condition to your pre-shipping photos to check for any new damage, verify that the added mileage matches the journey if the motorcycle was ridden to the delivery point, and leave feedback & a review for your chosen shipping company on Shiply to help future users confidently compare services.

Does Someone Have To Be Present For Pickup And Delivery?

How Much Fuel Should I Have In My Motorbike During Transit?

Generally, you should aim to have around a quarter of your tank full if the motorcycle needs to be moved during transport. This allows for easy loading and unloading of the motorcycle but will not add too much extra weight to the vehicle.

Can I Ship My Motorbike If It Isn't Running?

You can ship your motorcycle if it isn’t in running condition, however, this will be more expensive as specialist equipment is required to load and unload the vehicle.
