Interstate motorcycle transport prices

At National Car Movers, we compare the top Australian motorcycle transport providers to get you the best deal for shipping from one Australian state to another. 

The overall price depends on a variety of factors including:

• What type of motorcycle you have
• The condition of your motorcycle
• The speed of delivery you require
• Whether you opt for a door to door service or depot to depot 
• The distance you are transporting your motorcycle

For shorter distances, the average price is between $180- $300 AUD and for longer distances (over 1000km), the average price stands between $350-$700 AUD. 

Generally speaking, motorcycles tend to be easier to transport than other types of vehicle as they usually take up less space. This allows the vehicle transport company to carry more motorcycles, therefore keeping the price down. 

Whether you choose enclosed or open shipping also influences the price significantly. 

Additionally, the further you transport your motorcycle, the lower the price per km usually becomes.

How do you get your motorcycle ready for transport?

Preparing your motorbike for interstate transport is both quick and easy. We recommend that you take the following steps:

2. Inflate the tyres 
3. Fill the petrol tank to at least ¼ full
4. Repair any fluid leaks
5. Fold away wide mirrors
6. Get adequate insurance
7. Take detailed photographs of the condition of your bike

Individual vehicle transport providers often have their own specific rules and requirements to help keep your motorcycle safe, so please check for detailed guidance. 

What kinds of bikes can you transport interstate?

Should you choose open or enclosed motorcycle shipping?

There are two ways you can ship your motorcycle interstate. You can choose open transport where the company secures your bike to an open trailer, or enclosed shipping where your bike will be securely fastened within its own trailer. 

Most motorcycles are shipped using enclosed transport to protect them from the elements and prevent them picking up debris from the road. This is especially the case when the motorcycle is travelling longer distances. 

Open shipping is cheaper so can be a good option for those on a budget or who are shipping their vehicle shorter distances.
