Sea Freight Motorcycle Shipping

For most customers, shipping your motorbike by sea will be the most cost-effective method. The crated motorbike will be loaded into a steel shipping container along with other customers' shipments. We offer weekly sailings to all major worldwide ports. As soon as your bike has been loaded onto a vessel we will automatically forward confirmation of the sailing details with contact information for our local partner overseas.

Air Freight Motorcycle Shipping

Where quick transit times are paramount we also offer the option of sending your motorbike by air freight. The crated bike will be sent directly to the airport for immediate loading to an aircraft with shipping taking a day or two. We will forward a copy of the air waybill (AWB) immediately, confirming flight dates and times together with contact information for our local partner handling customs formalities.

Packing Your Motorcycle

We will collect your motorbike directly from your residence – or if you prefer, deliver it to our depot and save money. Your motorcycle will be packed into a purpose-built wooden shipping case – with room for a helmet, leathers and even a small amount of personal effects if necessary. Your crated motorbike will then be dispatched to the port for immediate overseas shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide packing services for motorcycles?

Yes! All motorcycles for export are packed into a custom wooden shiping case that is build around the bike to fit perfectly, preventing movement during transit. After securing the bike to a solid wooden base with ratchet straps, a basic frame is constructed from bubble-wrapped timber batons, which are pushed firmly against the chassis. Plywood sheets can then be secured to the top and sides to form a solid structure. Once shipping details have been stencilled to the exterior the motocyle shipping can begin. Timber runners under the base enable us to forklift the case as a single unit directly on to a truck and moved to the port of departure.

Can you handle customs clearance for my motorcycle?

Yes! Our motorbike shipping service always includes UK customs clearance on departure. We can arrange import custroms clearance in most destinations but in some countries, customs authorities require importers of private vehicles wishing to obtainer duty-free entry to present themselves at a customs office with their motorcycle. Request a motorbike shipping quotation online which includes helpful guides on import regulations, required documents etc.

What are my motorbike shipping options?

The vast majority of customers will opt to use our motorcycle sea freight service for best value. For time sensitive shiopments such as motorsports events, film & television work etc an airfreight service may prove to be worth the additional expense in exchange for a faster transit. There are strict requirements for sending combusion engine by air and it is important to weigh up any additional time and expense this may incur. Our expert team will help work though the options to arrive at the best plan for your individual curcumstances.

Do you offer door-to-door motorcycle shipping?

Yes we do! For most destinations worldwide we can arrange for our local office to collect your bike from the port of arrival and once customs clearance is granted will deliver to your door. Please note that for some destinations, local customs regimes mean it is not practical for us to operate a door delivered service. Our motorcycle shipping quotation is available online in minutes and gives detailed guidance on the destination formalities.

Is my motorcycle insured during transit?

Absolutely! We can arrange comprehensive cover against all risks of transport for total peace of mind. We are also able to offer a budget friendly cover on a "loss & theft" basis.
