ATV Transportation From State to State

Published by Joe Webster.

ATV Transportation From State to State

State To State Transport For All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs)

Shipping an ATV is not much different from shipping another type of vehicle, but there are some things unique to the shipping process. One of the nice things about shipping an ATV, either to a destination within the same state or to another one, is that they are much lighter than other vehicles, which translates to a cheaper shipping cost.

Having said that, all-terrain vehicles come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and weights, so the shipping costs will be largely dependent on those factors, as well as the shipping distance. Here are some of the more common types of ATV shipping needs we've assisted our customers with:

  • Quads (four-wheelers)
  • Utility ATVs
  • Three-wheelers (ATCs)
  • Military ATVs
  • Sport ATVs
  • Side-by-side vehicles
  • Dune buggies
  • Class I, II, II, & IV ATVs (click here for more info)
  • Off-highway vehicles
  • Utility task vehicles

Interstate ATV Transport: Preparations & Considerations

When you hire a company to ship an ATV, there are still some things you’ll need to do in preparation before it’s picked up by the transport carrier. In this section, we’ll go over what you’ll need to do, as well as some other things to consider as you weigh your options for car shipping services.

Moving Preparations

These are the basic steps you should take before having your all-terrain vehicle loaded and shipped by ATV transport services

  • Clean it
  • Document existing damages (photos are not a bad idea here)
  • Note any mechanical issues
  • Take note of scratches, dents, and dings before pickup
  • Check for leaks
  • Drain fluids and make sure the gas tank is no more than half full

Some ATV shippers may have slightly different requirements than others, so it’s important to check with them before doing any of the preparation. For example, some may request that the gas tank be as close to empty as possible, especially if the vehicle is being crated prior to shipping. Similarly, some transporters may ask that you disconnect the batter before loading.

ATV Hauling Considerations

There are certain methods and types of ATV transport that may require special handling. This includes things like shipping multiple ATVs at once, or having your ATV crated before transport. Neither should pose a problem if it’s a shipping service you need, but make sure you’re working with an experienced professional when it comes to any type of specialty ATV transport service. Open air transport method may cause some exposure to the elements and bad weather but this should not be a problem if it's not shipped to far distances. An enclosed trailer will provide more peace of mind but its rate can be steep.

There are some fairly obvious reasons why people ship ATVs, but two of the most important are convenience and insurance. The convenience factor is fairly obvious, but many people don’t know that insurance protection is also included in the cost of shipping an ATV. If there is any damage done, through fault or negligence on behalf of the ATV shipping company hauling it, you can be compensated for damages.
