Different Methods We Can Use to Relocate
This is the first thing you have to identify in hauling your bike. Once you have identified the method of transporting you want to use, then you can move on to other steps. The factors determining the methods you use include distance, budget, and delivery time. These are all things you should note before you decide on a relocating method.
- Door-to-Door Shipping: Our workers will be in charge of picking up your motorcycle at the pickup point and delivering it at the drop-off point.
- Enclosed Trailers: This option is the most expensive. However, it offers your motorcycle more protection from damage and theft. If you are transporting over a long distance, or you do not have a date of delivery, or you are hauling an expensive motorcycle, then this option is the best for you.
- Open Trailers: This is more suitable for people who are shipping over a short distance and have an expected delivery date. Their motorcycles are also not fragile or expensive. This method is less expensive, and it does not offer protection from damage and theft like the enclosed trailers.
How to prepare your bike?
- Thoroughly wash your motorcycle.
- Inspect your motorcycle's condition. Take note of scratches, marks, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does motorcycle shipping to or from San Juan cost?
Most riders pay $600–$1,200 for domestic-to-San-Juan moves and $300–$600 for transport within Puerto Rico. Prices vary by distance, bike size, port fees, and whether you choose crate, container, or roll-on roll-off service. Costs rise during hurricane season and when booking less than a week ahead. For accurate budgeting, compare quotes and review our motorcycle shipping cost calculator.
How long does motorcycle shipping to San Juan usually take?
Transit generally runs 7–14 days from the mainland U.S., depending on origin, ocean carrier schedules, and whether the shipment is consolidated or dedicated. Local deliveries across Puerto Rico are often completed in 1–3 days after port release. Weather systems near the Caribbean and port congestion can add short delays, so booking early offers the most predictable timing.
What shipping methods are available for transporting a motorcycle to San Juan?
The most common options are crated freight, roll-on roll-off (RoRo), and container shipping. Crated service offers strong protection for touring and sport models, while RoRo is ideal for budget-friendly moves. Container shipping works well for high-value or multiple-bike shipments. Learn more in our international motorcycle shipping guide.
Do I need to prepare my motorcycle before shipping it to San Juan?
Yes. Carriers typically require the fuel level reduced to a quarter tank or less, removal of alarms, securing loose accessories, documenting prior damage, and providing keys and registration for port processing. Clean motorcycles speed up inspection at San Juan’s terminals and help prevent loading issues or delays.
Can I ship a motorcycle from San Juan back to the mainland U.S.?
Yes. Shipping from San Juan to ports like Jacksonville, Miami, or Newark is common, using the same crated, RoRo, or container methods. Return shipping costs closely mirror outbound rates, usually $600–$1,200. Mainland delivery times average 7–14 days depending on routing and carrier schedules.
Is enclosed transport available for motorcycles moving through San Juan?
Enclosed options are available for high-value, custom, or classic motorcycles, especially when combining inland enclosed trucking with secure containerized ocean transport. This adds protection from salt spray and humidity around San Juan’s coastal terminals. More details are available here: enclosed.
