Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best way to ship an ATV?
Most ATVs are shipped by truck, using either open or enclosed carriers. While air, sea, or rail shipping is possible, they’re typically more expensive and still require trucking to terminals—making direct truck transport the most efficient and cost-effective option for ATV delivery.
How is an ATV loaded onto the transport trailer?
ATVs can be loaded using ramps, forklifts, winches, or liftgates depending on the trailer type. Once on board, they’re secured with soft-tie straps and often placed on pallets to prevent shifting. This method ensures safety for both the ATV and transport crew.
Does ATV size affect the type of carrier used?
Yes, larger ATVs may require flatbed trucks, while smaller models can fit on open or enclosed carriers. Enclosed ATV transport is best for long distances or high-value models, while open carriers are faster and more affordable for short hauls.
How long does it take to ship an ATV?
ATV shipping typically takes 2 to 9 days, depending on the distance, transport type, and season. Cross-country ATV transport may take longer, especially during winter or high-demand months.
How much does it cost to ship an ATV?
ATV shipping costs range from $400 to $850. Final pricing depends on distance, ATV size, transport method (open vs. enclosed), and whether you choose door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal delivery.
Is my ATV insured during shipping?
Most ATV shipping companies provide basic insurance coverage, but it may not match your ATV’s full value. It's wise to purchase supplemental insurance either through the carrier, a broker, or your own provider.
Can I speak with someone during transit?
Yes, reputable ATV shipping companies offer customer service throughout the process. You'll receive a contact number and tracking or contract number for updates, and some offer GPS tracking for real-time visibility.
How do I prepare my ATV for transport?
Clean the ATV, inspect and document any damage, check for leaks, and remove personal items. Take photos from all angles and have documentation ready for the driver.
Are there any hidden fees when shipping an ATV?
Reputable ATV shipping companies are transparent with pricing. Be aware of additional fees for fuel surcharges, supplemental insurance, or special handling—these should be clearly stated in your quote.
