Review Motorcycle Transport Service Prices

There are three main ways which your motorcycle transport can be carried out. Please make sure you check that the motorcycle delivery firm is using a specialised motorbike or scooter trailer for the safest collection and delivery. Bear in mind good communication is always key when choosing your motorcycle collection.

The first way is via an open trailer.  Unlike car transportation, motorbikes can be delivered by any vehicle capable of towing the right trailer or carrying the weight. This opens your options when it comes to choosing a motorcycle delivery firm and helps keep costs low. Please note while your motorcycle transport firm will take the utmost care, this method will expose your motorcycle or scooter to the elements.

The second way for motorcycle delivery is a covered trailer.  These is not as common as the standard open version but using larger vehicles like vans and lorries for motorcycle transportation is commonplace.  Man and van companies can also usually transport motorcycles with the right care to keep the bike secure in the van.

The third way is the to have someone ride it for you.  Much like a driven car service this is less popular than the other methods mentioned above, but usually offers a cheaper rate and they can usually also drive scooters.

Once you have received a few bike delivery quotes on the Haulin App, you can review them based on price, transport method and their feedback score- please also review their insurance to make sure you’re in safe hands. Transit insurance is important.  Once you are happy, accept and your chosen motorcycle transport service, then get in touch with you to arrange the final details and motorcycle collection.

Preparing Your Motorbike for Transport

Before your motorcycle collection, we recommend you prepare for the motorbike transport.  Please take the steps below to significantly reduce the risk of issues and ensure excellent service. Most bike movers take great pride in their business but it pays to be cautious for complete peace of mind – we give all our customers the same advice.

  • Cleaning : Cleaning your motorcycle or scooter will help you notice any damage with complete clarity.  Dust or dirt on the bike can also contribute to scratching paintwork during handling and moving.  

  • Motorcycle condition: Please make sure you note any damage or mechanical issues on your bike with photographs etc. This will make it clear if your bike has been damaged during transportation once its been delivered. Most companies take pride so will be happy to go through this with you and sometimes even supply the paperwork you need.

  • Tyres: Make sure tyres are properly inflated as it makes the bike easier to move and protects the wheels from damage.

  • Secure loose accessories or items: Before the collection service, make sure there are no loose panels, or any accessories left on the bike that could easily fall or or become problematic.

  • Your chosen motorcycle delivery firm should give you a call when they are near the collection and delivery points.  Many transport firms on Haulin have moved thousands of motorbikes in their and are very experienced and reliable whilst offering good value.  Don’t be worried to ask them any questions if you have any – don’t forget they are transporting your property across the UK.

Check Motorbike Condition & Leave Customer Feedback

Once complete and it arrives at its destination, make sure you or the person on the other end performs a thorough check to be sure it has not been damaged at all in transit.  Any issues should be taken up with the transporter and insurance companies immediately. Most are fully insured across the UK. With Haulin you pay when they deliver – when you’re happy go to the app and release the funds.

Please leave feedback once your delivery is complete. It keeps our marketplace up to date for future users to find the best service possible with lowest cost.

This is because there are likely to be release forms that you need to sign, as well as handing over the keys for the bike.

You should aim to have around a quarter of your tank in the motorbike, in case it needs to be moved during transport and will not add too much extra weight.
