Assess Motorcycle Transport Rates Received

When evaluating motorcycle transport rates, consider the following factors:

Open Trailers

The first method is to have your motorcycle transported on an open trailer. This is a cost-effective option, but bear in mind that your bike will be exposed to the elements during transport. Ensure that the delivery firm uses a specialised motorcycle trailer for the safest delivery.

Barnsley Motorcycle Transport

The second method is covered trailers or using vans and lorries for motorcycle transportation. This option provides more protection for your bike but is less common than open trailers. Specialist lorries can also transport motorcycles in large volumes, but this isn't very popular for individual private jobs.

Driven Motorcycle Services

The third option is to have someone ride your motorcycle to its destination. This is a bespoke option and less popular than the other methods mentioned above. There is a higher chance of wear and tear on the bike and added mileage, making it a more expensive option.

Prepare Your Motorcycle for Transport

Before your motorcycle collection/pickup takes place, prepare for the transport by:

Cleaning

Cleaning your motorcycle will help you notice any damage or scratches that might have been previously hidden. It's also essential to avoid any dust or dirt that could contribute to scratching paintwork during handling and moving.

Noting Damage

Note any nicks or scrapes on your bike and document them with photographs. This will let you see if your bike has been damaged during transportation once it reaches its destination.

Fluids

Depending on the policy of the motorcycle transport company, you may or may not have to drain oil and petrol from your bike. This helps avoid any potential leakages and is best from a safety perspective.

Tyres

Make sure tyres are properly inflated to help prevent damage to rims. This also makes the bike easier to move.

Extras

Before the bike move, make sure there are no loose panels or any accessories left on the bike that could easily come off during transit. If you're transporting your bike with its keys, it's worth tying them to the bike itself.

If your item requires packing materials or extra care then you should make sure this is highlighted in your listing and discussed with any transport provider whose quote you are considering. Couriers on Shiply are able to provide all levels of service and can help pack your items, just ensure you inform them of your needs.

Will My Goods Be Tied Up Securely?

Transport providers will almost always tie up an item in the transport vehicle, as the risk of damage from moving around during transit is high. You should always confirm safety precautions and packing needs with transport providers before accepting a quote.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

Yes, items can be taken upstairs if needed, and can also be assembled. Transport providers on Shiply are happy to provide these services, but you should ensure that you are mentioning these requirements in your listings as it may mean a second person is required for the move.

Can I Travel With My Goods?

The majority of transport providers on Shiply are only insured for the transportation of goods, however, some are also able to take people. If you need to travel with your goods, make sure to mention this in your listing and highlight this to any courier who quotes on your listing.

What If I Need To Cancel My Booking?

If you have accepted a quote and paid the deposit but wish to cancel the delivery, then you should first inform your chosen transport provider that you no longer require the delivery. You should then contact us at to have your deposit refunded.

Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?

If you have not yet accepted a quote then you are able to change the address of your listing. Note that editing details of your listing after publishing will result in active quotes being voided, so you will have to wait for new quotes to come in. If you have already accepted a quote and need to change the address either within Barnsley, South Yorkshire or outside the area, please let your transport provider know and contact us at .

Does Someone Have To Be Present For Pickup And Delivery?

In most cases, the motorbike delivery company will require you to be in attendance for the pickup and delivery of the motorbike. This is because there are likely to be release forms that you need to sign, as well as handing over the keys.

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 motorbike needs to be moved during transport. This allows for easy loading and unloading of the motorbike 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 motorbike if it isn’t in running condition, however, this will be more expensive as specialist equipment is required to load and unload the vehicle.
