Transporting a motorcycle to Bozeman, Montana, is simple with a reliable transport company. Of course, riding the bike there yourself is possible, but that would put a lot of extra mileage on it and leave it susceptible to damage. Transporting it is a much safer way of getting the bike to the City of Bozeman.
Bozeman is a city with a lot of historical significance in art, literature, and media. There are many places to see where films and television series were created and filmed. Any motorcyclist would love checking out all these spots while cruising around on their bike. With all of the winding, lonely roads and beautiful landscapes, there is a lot to be desired by a biker.
Transport Methods Available in Bozeman
When you have made the clever decision to transport your bike to Bozeman, consider all your options before selecting a company to go through or a method for your motorcycle's shipping process. There are many methods of motorcycle transport to choose from, so keep your budget in mind and select a method you feel is safest for the motorcycle.
- Enclosed hauling is when the motorcycle is transported in an enclosed container.
- Crated shipping requires thorough preparation but is one of the safest methods. The bike is strapped to a wooden pallet for stability and placed inside a tight container.
- Open-air moving is cheaper for shipping the bike on top of a flatbed trailer. This method isn't the safest, but it can be acceptable for shorter distances.
- Some companies offer terminal-to-terminal service. This means that the motorcycle will need to be dropped off at one shipping terminal and retrieved at one nearer to Bozeman.
- Door-to-door delivery is a convenient service in which the company comes to pick the bike up wherever it is and then drops it off in Bozeman wherever it is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle to or from Bozeman, MT?
Motorcycle transport to or from Bozeman typically costs between $400 and $800 for most routes within the U.S. Pricing depends on distance, carrier type (open vs. enclosed), season, and pickup flexibility. Short hauls around the Mountain West region usually fall on the lower end, while coast-to-coast moves or enclosed transport cost more. For detailed rate breakdowns, visit our motorcycle shipping cost calculator.
How long does motorcycle shipping from Bozeman take?
Most shipments from Bozeman take 2–5 days for regional transport and up to 7–10 days for cross-country delivery. Factors such as weather in the Rockies, carrier routes, and demand during summer rallies can slightly affect timing. Enclosed carriers may take a day or two longer since they handle fewer loads per trip. You can track progress easily through our car shipping tracker.
What’s the safest way to ship a motorcycle from Bozeman?
The safest method is enclosed motorcycle transport, which shields your bike from wind, debris, and Montana’s unpredictable weather. Riders with high-value or custom bikes often prefer this option for added protection. Standard open carriers are still reliable for everyday bikes. Learn more about enclosed carrier options on our enclosed auto transport page.
Can I get door-to-door motorcycle delivery in Bozeman?
Yes. Most customers choose door-to-door service, where the carrier picks up and delivers your motorcycle as close to your specified locations as possible. This option is convenient, especially around Bozeman’s residential zones or near Montana State University. In some rural or narrow areas, the driver may meet you nearby for safe unloading. Explore how it works on our door-to-door auto transport guide.
Do motorcycle dealers in Bozeman use shipping services?
Many Bozeman motorcycle dealers and shops use professional transport services to move inventory or customer bikes safely. Using a licensed carrier ensures full insurance coverage and compliance with FMCSA standards. Individual riders can use the same carriers for personal moves or seasonal relocations.
