Overseas Motorbike Shipping from the UK

Professional International Motorcycle Shipping Services

Whether you are relocating overseas, purchasing or selling a motorcycle abroad, attending international racing events, or simply transporting your bike to a new destination, we provide reliable, secure and cost-effective international motorcycle shipping services from the United Kingdom to destinations worldwide.

We specialise in shipping all types of motorcycles, from standard road bikes and touring motorcycles to superbikes, classic motorcycles, scooters, off-road bikes, motocross bikes, quad bikes, trikes and custom-built motorcycles. With years of experience in international freight forwarding, our dedicated logistics team manages every aspect of the shipping process, ensuring your motorcycle reaches its destination safely, securely and on schedule.

We offer worldwide motorcycle shipping by Sea Freight, Air Freight, Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) and Container Shipping, allowing us to provide flexible transport solutions based on your destination, transit time requirements and budget.

From collection anywhere within the UK to export documentation, customs procedures, professional crating and final delivery overseas, we provide a complete end-to-end motorcycle shipping service.


Motorcycle Shipping Methods

There are several ways to ship a motorcycle internationally, and our experienced team will recommend the most suitable option based on your requirements.

Groupage Container Shipping

Groupage shipping is one of the most economical methods of transporting motorcycles overseas.

Once collected from your home, dealership or storage facility, your motorcycle is transported to our secure warehouse where it undergoes a full inspection before being professionally prepared for export.

The motorcycle is then measured and securely packed inside a purpose-built export crate before being loaded into a shared shipping container together with other customers’ cargo travelling to the same destination.

Because customers only pay for the space occupied by their motorcycle rather than hiring an entire container, this method offers significant cost savings while maintaining excellent protection throughout transit.

This option is ideal for:

  • Motorcycles
  • Classic Bikes
  • Touring Bikes
  • Sports Bikes
  • Scooters
  • Mopeds
  • Dirt Bikes
  • Off-Road Motorcycles
  • Custom Motorcycles
  • Collector Bikes

If your motorcycle has already been professionally crated, or you prefer to deliver it directly to the port or our warehouse yourself, we can tailor our quotation accordingly and only charge for the services you require.


Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) Motorcycle Shipping

Where available, Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) shipping provides another convenient option for transporting motorcycles internationally.

With this method, motorcycles are carefully ridden or pushed onto specialist RoRo vessels specifically designed for transporting vehicles safely across the world. Once onboard, each motorcycle is securely fastened using specialist lashing equipment and purpose-built securing systems to minimise movement during the voyage.

Although RoRo services for motorcycles are not available on every route, they can offer an economical alternative for certain destinations.

Our shipping specialists will advise whether RoRo shipping is available for your chosen destination and recommend the most suitable transport option.


Nationwide Motorcycle Collection Service

We operate a reliable nationwide motorcycle collection service covering the entire United Kingdom.

Using specialist motorcycle transport vehicles, we collect motorcycles directly from:

  • Private Residences
  • Motorcycle Dealerships
  • Storage Facilities
  • Workshops
  • Auction Houses
  • Business Premises
  • Collection Centres

Your motorcycle can be transported either directly to the departure port or to our export packing facility where it will be professionally prepared for international shipping.

Customers are also welcome to deliver their motorcycle directly to our warehouse if preferred, helping to reduce overall transportation costs.

Our logistics team provides all necessary delivery instructions together with export documentation and customs paperwork to ensure a smooth handover process.


Professional Motorcycle Crating Services

Purpose-Built Export Crates

Proper export packing is essential for protecting motorcycles during international transportation.

Each shipping crate is individually constructed to match the exact dimensions of your motorcycle, providing maximum protection throughout handling, storage and overseas transit.

Our experienced export packing specialists use proven packing techniques to ensure every motorcycle remains completely secure inside the crate.

The process includes:

  • Heavy-duty timber export base
  • Wheel chocks fitted to both wheels
  • Secure wheel restraints
  • Heavy-duty ratchet straps
  • Foam padding protecting painted surfaces
  • Timber internal bracing
  • Reinforced crate construction
  • Tamper-evident numbered security seals
  • External strengthening straps

Every crate is built to international export standards and designed to minimise movement while protecting your motorcycle from accidental damage throughout its journey.


Packing Your Motorcycle for International Shipping

Our complete packing service allows customers to simply hand over their motorcycle while we take care of everything else.

We can collect your motorcycle directly from your home or business, or you may choose to deliver it to our warehouse.

Your motorcycle will be professionally packed inside a custom-built export crate with additional space available for:

  • Motorcycle Helmet
  • Riding Jacket
  • Gloves
  • Boots
  • Riding Leathers
  • Small Accessories
  • Limited Personal Effects (subject to destination regulations)

Once securely packed, the crate is transported directly to the departure port or airport ready for international shipment.


Sea Freight Motorcycle Shipping

Sea freight remains the most popular and cost-effective option for international motorcycle transportation.

Your professionally crated motorcycle is loaded into a secure shipping container alongside compatible cargo travelling to the same destination.

We arrange regular weekly departures from major UK ports to destinations across:

  • Africa
  • Europe
  • Middle East
  • Asia
  • North America
  • South America
  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • Caribbean Islands

Once your motorcycle has been loaded onboard the vessel, we provide shipping confirmation, vessel details, estimated arrival dates and overseas agent information for complete peace of mind.


Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) Motorcycle Shipping

Where available, motorcycles may also be transported using dedicated Roll-on/Roll-off services.

The motorcycle is loaded directly onto the vessel and secured inside dedicated vehicle decks using professional lashing systems.

Upon arrival, the motorcycle is unloaded, customs formalities are completed and it becomes available for collection or onward delivery.

RoRo shipping offers:

  • Competitive pricing
  • Fast loading procedures
  • Reduced handling
  • Safe vehicle transport
  • Reliable international schedules

Availability depends upon the destination port and shipping line.


Air Freight Motorcycle Shipping

For urgent deliveries, international exhibitions, racing events or time-sensitive shipments, air freight offers the fastest transportation option.

After professional crating, your motorcycle is delivered directly to the airport and loaded onto scheduled cargo aircraft for immediate international departure.

Typical air freight transit times range from one to several days depending on destination.

Air freight is particularly suitable for:

  • Racing Motorcycles
  • Exhibition Bikes
  • Luxury Motorcycles
  • High-Value Bikes
  • Urgent Deliveries
  • Time-Critical Shipments

Following departure, we provide the Air Waybill (AWB), flight details, estimated arrival times and destination handling information.


Marine Transit Insurance

Although every motorcycle is handled with the utmost care, we strongly recommend comprehensive Marine Cargo Insurance for complete peace of mind.

Our optional insurance policies can provide protection against:

  • Accidental Damage
  • Theft
  • Fire
  • Water Damage
  • General Average
  • Total Loss
  • Transit Risks

Insurance is available from collection through to final delivery, helping protect your investment throughout the entire international shipping process.

For customers requiring delayed shipment, we also offer secure warehouse storage before export.
