London Motorcycle Transport Methods


There are four main methods for motorcycle transport. The first is open trailer transport, which is the most common method. Unlike car transporters, motorcycles can be delivered by any vehicle capable of towing the right trailer, keeping costs low. Ensure the delivery firm uses a specialized motorbike trailer for safety.


The second method is enclosed transport using covered trailers or vans. This option is less common but safer and more secure, although it may be more expensive than open transport. Some motorcycle transport companies also offer 'ride and drive' services, but this is less popular and can be more expensive due to the added mileage and wear and tear on the bike.


Prepare Your Motorbike for Motorcycle transport


Cleaning: Clean your motorcycle thoroughly before transport to notice any damage or scratches. Note any nicks or scrapes and document them with photographs to track any damage during transportation. Fluids: Depending on the transport company's policy, you may need to drain oil and petrol from your bike to avoid any potential leakages. If the bike will be ridden during transit, leave some fuel in the tank.


Tyres: Ensure tyres are properly inflated to prevent damage to rims and make the bike easier to move. Extras: Before transport, remove any loose panels or accessories that could come off during transit. If you are transporting your bike with its keys, tie them to the bike to prevent loss.


Customer Feedback & Choosing the Best Motorcycle transport Service


Before choosing a motorcycle transport service, read customer feedback and check the provider's feedback score percentage. This will give you an idea of their reliability and performance.


Choosing Motorcycle transport Services


Once you have received quotes for your motorcycle transport, choose a service based on the company's feedback score percentage and the quote. Before accepting a quote, make sure the provider is experienced and has completed similar transports in the past.


Professional motorcycle transport companies can assist with loading, securing, and unloading the bike during transport. So, when unloading the motorcycle, take advantage of their assistance. Experienced workers clearly know and usually check motorcycles carefully after loading them on the lorries.

When Will I Receive A Quote?

You will typically start to receive quotes within 30 minutes.

If your delivery is urgent, you can try our 'featured delivery' feature which moves your listing to the top of the search page for couriers.

How Many Quotes Will I Receive?

Whilst there is no guarantee of quotes, 98% of listings receive at least 3 quotes, so you are very likely to find a transport provider who services London who can undertake the delivery of your items.

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?

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 London 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.
