Looking for Motorcycle Shipping Quotes?

Finding a good motorcycle shipping company isn't easy, but that's why we're dedicated to the task of making it somewhat easier for you to find a great motorcycle shipper to haul your chopper around.

When you're shipping a motorcycle it's important to understand that while, on the whole, motorcycle transport services will be cheaper than auto shipping services, they won't always be less expensive and can be less reliable, depending on who you ship with.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Denver

With a population of over 560,000, Denver is the most populous city in the state of Colorado and the 24th largest in the U.S. Transporting a car to or from Denver is no easy feat, though, considering its location and the relatively few interstate highways running through the area. Plus, the city sits at literally a mile above sea level - 5,280 feet, to be precise, at least where they measured it. They don't call Denver the Mile High City for kicks.

When you're shipping a car to or from the city, you need to keep that in mind. During the winter months it can be hard for auto shippers to transport vehicles through the tough, snowy terrain, but in the summer months the sailing is usually pretty smooth - well, smoother, anyway. If you're looking for cheap, hassle-free auto transport services, you can fill out our free online quote form and get up to ten free quotes to ship your vehicle, and you can also read our auto shipping to Denver article for more information about shipping a vehicle to or from the Mile High City.

Auto Shipping by State: Missouri

Missouri is one of those states that's really big, really cool, and - depending on where you're shipping to in the state, anyway - usually pretty cheap and easy to ship a car to. There are numerous major cities in the state, with perhaps the largest being St. Louis, a major and popular auto transport destination. What's nice about most of the state of Missouri is the fact that it receives relatively little snowfall throughout the year, which makes it easier for auto shippers to move vehicles to and from there.

Of course, like anywhere, there are places that auto shippers won't be able to get to, whether it's because of inclement weather, geographical location, Divine acts of wrath, or what have you - but on the whole, Missouri is one of those states that shippers can get around easily, which makes it better (not to mention cheaper) for you to ship your vehicle from anywhere, to anywhere in the state of Missouri. You can fill out our free online quote form and get some free quotes to ship your vehicle to Missouri, and you can also read more about the state by visiting our Missouri Auto Shipping article on our website.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Jacksonville

There are several different cities named Jacksonville in the U.S. - okay, maybe more than several. A handful? I know for sure there's one in North Carolina, but there are a total of eight states that have a city named Jacksonville in them - that's a lot of Jacksonvilles! In this blog post we're going to be talking about shipping a car to Jacksonville, Florida, perhaps the most well-known of the eight different Jacksonvilles in the U.S.

As the county seat of Duval County, in Florida, Jacksonville is fairly popular in terms of auto transport. Started as a small army outpost during the early 19th cenutry, the city grew thanks to its location and has slowly evolved into a major area of trade and commerce in the northeastern corner of the state. Shipping to Jacksonville is relatively cheap year-round, depending on where you're shipping from; seasonal weather doesn't have much effect, except during the late summer and into the fall (because of hurricane season). You can read more about the city itself by visiting our helpful Auto Shipping to Jacksonville article on our website.

The FAQ's: Auto Transport Insurance

Insurance for auto shipping is a pretty tricky subject, if you don't know what you're talking about and you don't know much about shipping a car - but for those of you in the know, you know it's really not as bad as you might think.

Your auto shipping carrier must have at least $750,000 of total cargo insurance on his or her auto transport truck; this means that every vehicle on the truck will be fully insured regardless of condition or value and any damages sustained during transport will be dealt with and paid for by the truck's insurance. Your vehicle will be insured from the moment it is loaded until the moment it is unloaded from the carrier, and any insurance policies you have on your vehicle through a personal insurance agent will be relegated to the back seat; you won't submit any damage claims through your own insurance, but rather through the carrier's insurance company.
