Motorcycle Shipping:
Motorcycle shipping services made easy
Nationwide motorcycle shipping has never been easier with Global Point Auto Transport. We offer two types of motorcycle transport services to our customers: Door-to-Door (home delivery) and shipping between distribution centers. Home delivery (Door-to-Door) transport is the most common and preferred customer solution.
When shipping a motorcycle door-to-door, our assigned carrier will arrive at your location and load your motorcycle onto patented metal skids and specialized platforms made specifically for transporting motorcycles, scooters and ATV’s.

Step 3
Motorcycle pick up and delivery
After scheduling an estimated or guaranteed pick-up date and preparing your motorcycle for shipping, our team will assign a carrier to come and pick up your vehicle from your residence. Keep in mind that the carrier will get as close to your door as safely and legally possible. In cases where front-door pick up is not possible, you may be asked to meet the carrier at a nearby location that is safe for both loading and unloading. Your motorcycle will be transported in an enclosed trailer where it’s fully protected from outside elements, so it can safely make the journey to its final destination.
Motorcycle shipping and seasonal demand
While most companies base their pricing estimates for transport services in relation to seasonal market demand, Global Point Auto Transport provides you with a set price not directly influenced by typical demand fluctuations.
Global Point Auto Transport is able to negotiate discounted and set rates with the premier motorcycle shippers. These reduced prices are directly passed on to you to keep your rates low, while ensuring your motorcycle is transported with a top-tier shipper who will take extra care with your transport.
At Global Point Auto Transport, we strive to provide our customers with the best year-round pricing and only work with premium motorcycle shippers delivering the highest service standard.
Shipping a motorcycle with a sidecar
With powersport and motorcycle shipping recently becoming much more popular, we have transport service options for sidecars when required. Depending on the size of your sidecar, a small surcharge of approximately $200-$300 will be added to your motorcycle shipping quote.
Only have a sidecar to ship? Global Point Auto Transport can arrange safe and secure sidecar shipment using the same safety checks and standards practiced with our motorcycle transport.
Why should I transport my motorcycle with GPAT?
At Global Point Auto Transport, we have built a reputation as the industry-leader in vehicle transport. With more than 13 years of experience, we are the number one provider for many of the world’s largest OEM manufacturers, transporting more than 100,000 cars and motorcycles annually. Not only are most of our shipments picked up from and delivered straight to your door, we make shipping your motorcycle “hassle free”, with no fluid drainage or battery disconnection required.
While some motorcycle shippers leave you in the dark, with no visibility into the status of your shipment, GPAT keeps you updated with tracking progress throughout your transport. In order to ensure special care of your motorcycle, we use enclosed transport carriers with patented metal skids and specialized shipping platforms for your vehicle transport. For a more economical shipping option, we also offer motorcycle shipping between distribution centers. Dropping your motorcycle off at one of our many distribution centers saves both time and money. Customers can save up to 30% off total transport costs when taking advantage of distribution drop off vs. selecting a guaranteed carrier pick-up date. Additionally, choosing motorcycle drop off provides increased convenience when planning your move. Easily schedule a day and time at your convenience by making a quick phone call (800)998-2220 to coordinate dropping off your motorcycle at your nearest distribution center.
