Tips about differences between shipping car and motorcycle

 



Learn more about the motorcycle of your choice from BikeValy before buying a bike.

There are several differences between car and motorcycle shipping. A car has a reliable handbrake and four wheels for extra durability but a motorcycle is quite different in terms of design it has only two wheels and nothing to stand the bike without a stand. You may think that motorcycle shipping will be cheaper than car shipping because of the difference in car size but this rarely happens. Frequently used closed carriers should be specially designed to carry motorcycles. This means that there will be palettes specially designed for this purpose or tracks fitted specifically for the same purpose. This means that a motorcycle basically takes up the same room as a car when it needs to be sent somewhere.

How Expensive is Motorcycle Shipping?

It depends on two main factors. How far you are traveling and what services you need to provide to the company you want to use. There are various services that a shipping company can offer you. It would be better for you to use an expert motorcycle shipper than a car shipper who offers motorcycle shipping as an additional service.

The more you travel and the more services you need, the higher the price is likely to be, but if you transport more than one motorbike you will get a discount from the right company so shop for quotes.

Is motorcycle shipping safe?

A well-known expert motorcycle shipping company will know exactly what you are doing with your bike. Many companies hire motorbike enthusiasts and owners to drive carriers so you can be sure that the rider knows how vital your motorbike is to you. It goes without saying that sometimes accidents don’t happen. A good shipping company will include some insurance with your quote and try their best to make sure something is not wrong. Although insurance will damage you due to scratching and carelessness of the shipping company it is unlikely to cover for ‘God’s work’ like damage due to a sinking ship or flood. If you are particularly concerned about this, either during the year, due to the expected weather, or simply because you are transporting the bike of your dreams you can buy additional insurance that covers virtually any situation and your shipping company should be able to offer. A little advice on relevant policies for you.
