Motorcycle Transport Rates: What to Expect


Motorcycle delivery costs are fairly standardised, with a typical cost per mile of £0.55 on Shiply. However, this can vary slightly depending on the distance and location.

There are four primary methods by which your Motorcycle transport service can be carried out: open trailer, covered trailer, specialist lorries, and hired riders. The first method is the most common, but it exposes your Bike to the elements. Covered trailers offer a safer option, while specialist lorries can transport multiple Motorcycles at once. Hired riders are a more bespoke option, but they can be more expensive and may result in wear and tear on your Bike.

Preparing Your Motorbike for Transport


Before your Motorcycle collection/pickup takes place, we recommend you prepare your Bike for transport. Clean the Bike to notice any damage or scratches, note any nicks or scrapes, and document them with photographs. Drain fluids, ensure tyres are properly inflated, and remove any loose panels or accessories. If the Bike is to be ridden during transit, ensure it's in working order, taxed, and has a valid MOT.

When Will I Receive A Quote?

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.

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.
