Shipping Motorcycle to UK from USA
With so many years of shipping to the United Kingdom – more than 25 in fact – we can boast high-quality services in regards to shipping motorcycles overseas. Many UK customers and US military personnel choose to ship Harley Davidsons, a popular motorcycle that we deal with, although we handle shipping for all brands of motorcycles. We can pick up your motorcycle and take it to the departure port for you, if your motorcycle is located far from the departure shipping ports in the United States. This optional offering saves you money that you would otherwise spend on gas, hotel, food, vacation days, and loss of pay. You have two shipping methods to choose from: RoRo or Container (see below for details). We will always give you the lowest price by default. Upon your motorcycle’s arrives in the UK, you or the designated person on the Bill of Lading can retrieve it. As part of our service offering, we send you the appropriate documents and handle all the export compliance procedures for you. This includes handling matters with US Customs clearance. Because our company is streamlined and efficient, we make your motorcycle shipping experience pleasant.
Important:When it comes to shipping a motorcycle to the UK, our competitors cannot compete with our value pricing, due to our solid, long-lasting relationship with the US military. US military personnel ship a large volume of vehicles on a regular basis, allowing anyone shipping a motorcycle to the UK to benefit from our low pricing.
RoRo (Roll-On Roll-Off) Motorcycle Shipping to UK
You can use RoRo shipping if you’re only intending to ship one motorcycle to the UK. The one condition with this method is that the motorcycle must be able to "Roll On and Roll Off' (RoRo) the ship without any mechanical assistance. Once on the ship, it is secured to the deck with straps and braces, as shown on the image to your right. We do this to lessen the movement that the ship undoubtedly experiences while at sea, which could cause shifting. In the picture, you’ll see we're shipping Harleys to the UK. In an effort to protect the motorcycles further, we lock the tires into a metal protector and supply adequate space between motorcycles.
Some people ship a motorcycle to the UK, while others ship mopeds, trikes, golf carts, dirt bikes, ATVs, and other popular off-road vehicles. While the RoRo shipping method is ideal for shipping one motorcycle to the UK, if you need to ship multiple motorcycles at once, consider the container shipping method.
Container Motorcycle Shipping to United Kingdom
This is the preferred method for dealerships shipping motorcycles to the UK, as many motorcycles can safely fit into a single container. Because of this convenient aspect, the price per square foot is reduced, thus making shipping cheaper. Many times, several customers who are shipping their motorcycles to the same country share a container to cut down on cost. To save on shipping costs, we group all motorcycles shipping to the UK together into a few containers. Shipping a motorcycle to the UK via container is just as safe as RoRo, and by default, we will give you our lowest price first on both methods.
Marine Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing the optional marine insurance to protect your motorcycle from loss or damage, even though this is rare. Since any ocean vessel WILL rock while out to sea, you may want to protect your investment when shipping a motorcycle to the UK. Don’t worry about cost, as it’s inexpensive to cover motorcycles. The cost of coverage is dependent on the stated value of your motorcycle.
