Bikes move around during transit in a way cars simply don't. They're light, they're top-heavy, and if they're not held upright and locked in place, even a few hours on the highway can leave a dent, a cracked mirror, or a scraped fairing. That's the main difference in how we handle bike transport compared to cars — every bike gets wheel-clamped or wheel-chocked so it can't tip, and where the route or bike value calls for it, we crate it in wood so it travels fully enclosed, untouched by weather or anything else on the truck.
Before pickup, we go over the bike with you — existing scratches, the odometer reading, whether the battery terminal needs disconnecting for a longer trip, fuel level in the tank. It's written down and photographed, not just remembered. Mirrors and indicators that stick out get removed or taped down if the crate needs it, and we hand everything back at delivery, no missing bolts, no "we'll courier it to you later."
Full wooden crate packing for premium or customised bikes that need complete protection from the elements.
Bikes are clamped or chocked upright so they can't tip or shift, unlike a rope thrown over the seat.
Photos and a written check of scratches, odometer, and fuel level, so nothing's left to memory.
Straightforward on your side — a bit more careful on ours. Here's the rough sequence for most bike transport bookings.
Booking
Share your bike model, pickup and drop city, and whether you'd like crating done.
Inspection & packing
We photograph the bike, note the odometer, and crate or wrap it as agreed.
Loading & transit
Wheel-locked and secured on the carrier, with updates on where it is along the way.
Delivery
Uncrated at your address, checked against the pickup report with you, and handed over.
A lot of our bookings are people relocating for work who'd rather not do a two-day highway ride on their own bike, especially if it's their only vehicle and they need it as soon as they land. We also get calls from riders who've bought a bike from another state and don't want to risk a long solo ride to bring it home. And then there are the collectors — vintage or heavily modified bikes that just shouldn't be ridden on unfamiliar roads, where full crating is really the only sensible option.
If you're also shifting your household at the same time, we can usually schedule the bike on the same truck or run it alongside so you're not managing two separate bookings and two separate worries.
You'll need to share the RC at booking and be present, or authorise someone, at pickup and delivery.
On longer interstate runs, we may disconnect the battery terminal to avoid it draining or shorting during transit.

No, it's optional. Standard bikes usually travel wheel-locked and covered. Crating is recommended for premium, vintage, or heavily customised bikes that need full protection.
Usually between 3 and 7 days depending on distance and route. We confirm a realistic window at the time of booking rather than a best-case estimate.
Removed parts like mirrors are logged at pickup and returned at delivery. If anything doesn't match the pickup report, it's covered under the transit insurance we offer.
Yes, multiple bikes on the same route can often share a carrier, which usually works out cheaper per bike than booking them separately.
