Planning Your Motorcycle Shipment

International motorcycle shipping requires advance planning. Airlines typically confirm cargo space 30–45 days before departure, depending on route and aircraft availability.

Planning early helps ensure:

  • Access to wide-body aircraft

Motorcycle insurance for travel in Europe, Canada, and the United States varies by region and is often required before arrival.

We recommend:

  • Starting insurance arrangements early

  • Checking with your home-country provider

  • Exploring temporary coverage options for foreign-registered motorcycles

Common Motorcycle Shipping Mistakes to Avoid

  • Packing restricted or hazardous items

  • Overloading panniers or unsecured gear

  • Delaying booking or insurance planning

  • Misunderstanding customs requirements
