Thinking of moving your motorbike in or out of the city of Darien? How long would that take? For starters, let’s factor in that the city of Darien covers only 6.2 sq. miles. If you were to ride the motorbike, you would get deadbeat tired after covering only half of that distance and would probably need to stop at a motel for a break. That is time wasted. So how about you use a motorcycle shipping company that serves the city of Darien like A-1 Auto Transport? Shipping drivers are only permitted by the international shipping laws to cover 500 miles per day and make six drives per week. That is more than enough to get your motorbike out of the city. We can have your motorcycle at the desired destination in a week or less.
Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle
- Open-air transport
This entails open truck shipping of a motorbike that is tightly adjusted on a flatbed to prevent slipping.
- Enclosed transport
For maximum security and privacy, we use an enclosed auto trailer to protect the motorbike from potential damage that trees, rocks, other vehicles or weather may cause. What’s more is that the item you are moving is kept secret from the public.
- Door to door transport
Most customers prefer this mode of shipping since it is hard to move their motorbikes with a low fuel level. However, we would like you to bear with us if your place is inaccessible due to dead ends, low-hanging branches, restrictions on large trucks or narrow streets; we can arrange to meet in a nearby parking lot.
- Terminal to terminal transport
Our drivers will leave your motorbike at a convenient railway or airport terminal where you will arrange for pick-up.
- Crated transport
Your motorbike will be rolled into a wooden crate then fastened with strong straps to keep it in place.

What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company
You need to have the best in the business when it comes to shipping. Shop around for the following:
- Quotes
Once you contact numerous shipping companies, the quotes will start trickling in and you have to contact each carrier and ask them questions on the quote. Ask them what their services entail, their delivery time and auxiliary services provided.
- Carrier profile
Each shipping company has their own profile in the transport industry which includes customer feedback and safety records. Look out for deficiencies, that is, where they fail to give their safety credentials or to mention that they are licensed and bonded.
- Equipment
The shipping company's website will typically have a gallery of the type of equipment they use. It is up to you to research on whether the trucks and containers they use are up to standard and if they are ideal for transporting your motorbike.
- Online reviews
The internet provides a world of knowledge and besides researching the customer reviews on the shipping company’s website, we suggest you take your search up a notch. On your browser, type in ‘negative/cons of whatever shipping company’ and check on what comes up. There is a lot of truth in those hidden reviews.
