Tips On Shipping Your Motorcycle
There are quite a few differences between car and motorcycle
shipping. While a car has a reliable handbrake and four wheels
for extra stability a motorcycle is quite different by design
having only two wheels amd nothing to keep the bike stationery
except the stand. You might think that motorcycle shipping would
be cheaper than car shipping because of the difference in size
of vehicles but this is rarely the case. The closed carriers
that are often used should be specially designed to carry
motorcycles and this will mean that there will either be
palettes specially designed for the purpose or there will be
specially fitted tracks that serve the same purpose. What this
means is that a motorcycle basically takes up the same room as a
car when it needs to be shipped anywhere.
How expensive is motorcycle shipping?
This is dependant on two main factors. How far you are
travelling and what services the company you intend to use has
to offer. There are a variety of different services that a
shipping company can offer you. You would be better using a
specialist motorcycle shipper than a car shipper that offers
motorcycle shipping as an extra service.
The further you are travelling and the more services you require
the higher the price is likely to be, but you will receive a
discount from the right company if you are transporting
more
than one motorbike so shop around for quotes.
Is motorcycle shipping safe?
A reputable specialist motorcycle shipping company will know
exactly what they are doing with your bike. Many companies
employ motorbike enthusiasts and owners to drive the carriers so
you can be sure that the driver knows how much your motorbike
means to you. This isn't to say there isn't the occasional
accident.
A good shipping company will include some insurance with your
quote and will try their utmost to ensure that nothing does go
wrong. While the Insurance will cover you for scratches and
careless damage by the shipping company it is unlikely to cover
for 'acts of god' like a sinking ship or damage due to floods.
If you're especially worried about this, either because of the
time of year, the expected weather or simply because you are
transporting your dream bike you can buy extra Insurance that
covers for virtually any eventuality and your shipping company
should be able to offer you a little advice on the relevant
policies.
