Motorcycle owners may need to ship their bike for a cross-country move, showcasing event or vacation. Before selecting a transport method, be sure to assess the three main shipping options, which include renting a trailer as well as hiring an auto shipping company or a freight company.
Shipping Methods
Bike owners must consider their shipping needs, the type of bike that they own and their budget when selecting their transport method. For bike owners who have the time, skill and patience, a personal trailer rental may be the best option. Owners who travel a lot may be the most comfortable with this selection. In addition, it gives them full control over the shipment of their motorcycle.
If a trailer rental isn’t an option, then consider hiring an auto shipping company.
