Motorcycle Transport Essex: A Comprehensive Guide


When relocating a Motorcycle, obtaining estimates from multiple transport providers is an essential step to ensure you receive a reasonable price. Shiply, a popular Motorcycle transport marketplace, minimizes the hassle and effort involved in finding the best Motorcycle transport rates.


Map of Essex, UK

Motorcycle delivery costs in Essex are fairly standardized. You can typically expect a cost per mile of £0.55 on Shiply, although this can vary slightly depending on the trip's length and other factors. For instance, Motorcycle transport services in the UK are generally cheaper than shipping your Motorcycle overseas to Europe or further afield.


Prices on Shiply are low due to the competitive nature of the platform. When you post your Motorcycle delivery request, thousands of rated Motorcycle transportation companies compete against each other for the job. It's like a reverse auction, ensuring you get the lowest possible price in the market. Whether you require bike transport for a short movement across the UK, further into Europe, or international Motorcycle shipping, Shiply can assist.


Assess Motorcycle Transport Rates Received


There are four primary methods of Motorcycle transport: open trailer, covered trailer, specialist lorries, and rider services. When assessing quotes, consider the transport method, price, and the provider's feedback score. An open trailer is the most common method, but it exposes your bike to the elements. Covered trailers, on the other hand, offer more protection but are less common.

Specialist lorries can transport large volumes of motorbikes, but this option is less popular for individual private jobs. Rider services involve a professional rider transporting your bike, but this method is often more expensive and may not be suitable for everyone.


Your choice of Motorcycle transport method will likely depend on your budget and how urgently you need the bike moved. On Shiply, you can compare quotes based on price, transport method, and the provider's feedback score. Once you're happy with a quote, simply accept, and your chosen company will get in touch to arrange the final details.


Prepare Your Motorcycle for Transport


Before your Motorcycle collection/pickup takes place, prepare your bike for transport. Cleaning your Motorcycle will help you notice any damage or scratches that might have been previously hidden. Noting any nicks or scrapes on your bike and documenting them with photographs will let you see if your bike has been damaged during transportation once it reaches its destination.


Depending on the policy of the Motorcycle transport company, you may or may not need to drain oil and petrol from your bike. This helps avoid any potential leakages and is best from a safety perspective. Make sure tyres are properly inflated to prevent damage to rims, and remove any loose panels or accessories that could easily come off during transit.

If you're transporting your bike with its keys, consider tying them to the bike itself. If the transporter will ride your Motorcycle on public roads, ensure it's in working order, taxed, and has a valid MOT. Your chosen Motorcycle delivery firm will give you a courtesy call when they're near the collection and delivery points, so be sure to be available.


Check Motorcycle Condition and Leave Customer Feedback


Once your Motorcycle transport is complete, inspect your bike thoroughly to ensure it hasn't been damaged during transit. Any issues should be taken up with the transporter and insurance companies immediately.


When you picked your Motorcycle transport provider on Shiply, you'll have read the customer feedback and relied on their feedback score percentage when making your decision. Please help others in the future by leaving feedback once your delivery is complete.

Does Shiply Provide Packing Materials?

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?

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 Essex 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.
