AVAILABLE TRANSPORT PACKAGES

MotoBirds offers transport services in two different packages "All In" and "Easy Rider". See what they differ from each other and choose the package that best suits your expectations.

ALL - IN:

As the name indicates, MotoBirds does everything. All you have to do is handover your motorbike at the warehouse. Alternatively, we could also collect it directly from a place of your choosing (for an additional fee). MotoBirds is responsible for the proper preparation for the shipping of your motorcycle and luggage. We pack everything into the shipping cage.

EASY RIDER:

This package allows you to save some money. However, in exchange, you must be prepared to invest a little bit of your time to do some of the preparation work yourself.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION


Find out more about the details of vehicles and motorcycle transportation.

LUGGAGE

N

Marking

In all cases, every piece of luggage must have the license plate of the motorcycle clearly marked on it. This allows us, customs (and you) to identify the luggage belonging to which motorbike.
N

Locks

The luggage cannot be locked: customs have the right to break the locks, if they want to inspect it and they find it locked.
N

Wrapping

Is intended to protect the luggage during transport.

  • With the ALL-IN package: the luggage is wrapped by MotoBirds. Each luggage piece is wrapped separately to protect it from damages, scuffing or scratches during the transport.
  • With the EASY RIDER package, the rider is responsible for the disassembly, re-assembly and wrapping of the luggage. Remember that each piece of luggage must be wrapped separately and clearly marked with the license plate of the motorcycle.
N

Maximum width of the motorbike

Because of the dimensions of the cages where the motorbikes are strapped, the luggage must be usually be dismantled from the motorbike – unless the width of the bike + luggage does not exceed 980 mm.
N

MAXIMUM PACKING DIMENSIONS OF A PARCEL (MOTORCYCLE WITH ACCESSORIES AND LUGGAGE)

Maximum Height: 1200mm. This is why in most cases, the mirrors and windshield must be dismantled.
Maximum width: 980mm (with or without luggage mounted)
Maximum length: 2300mm. This is sometimes important in case there is a top case, license plate assembly, or a special rear rack, which may extend the length of the motorbike.

N

WINDSHIELD AND MIRRORS

With the ALL-IN package, the windshield and mirrors will be dismantled by MotoBirds, wrapped separately and stored to protect them from any damage. We also re-attach them to the motorcycle.

With the EASY RIDER package, the rider is responsible for these operations.

N

TIRE PRESSURE

We always check the tire pressure of all motorbikes, and inflate tires (when required). If we find deflated tires, we will always inform you. However, as a rider,

YOU retain ultimate responsibility to thoroughly check your motorcycle (including tire pressure) before riding off.

N

LEAKS

We inspect the bikes before shipment, and at arrival. We document the condition of each motorbike with photographs or videos. If we find leaks, we will in all cases inform you.
N

BATTERY

The battery must always be disconnected when transporting motor vehicles by sea.
With the “ALL IN” package, MotoBirds will take care of this and also reconnect it at arrival. We also try to start the bike.

With the EASY RIDER package, it is your responsibility to disconnect/reconnect the battery, remember to carefully insulate the connectors and terminals with tape.

N

FUEL

Fuel can never be shipped along with the motorcycle in separate containers.

Empty fuel containers can be shipped however. If empty fuel containers have to be dismantled from the motorbike to meet the shipping dimensions (1200 mm x 980 mm x 2300 mm), they count as one piece of luggage (50 EUR / piece). The fuel quantity in your tank must not exceed 3 liters, for safety reasons.

N

CONTACT & PANNIERS KEYS

The key must be attached to the handlebar of your motorbike (with a zip-tie for example). In case customs want to inspect the inside of your fuel tank: Unless they can open the fuel tank with the key, they have the right to break the lock. Secondly, on many motorbikes, without the key, we cannot remove the luggage – which is required to pack the motorcycles, in most cases.

ABOUT SHIPPING

N

VEHICLE RECEPTION

You can deliver your motorcycle, quad or car yourself to our warehouse in Warsaw. If it were more convenient, for an additional fee, we can collect it from anywhere in Europe – even at your doorstep. Your vehicle will be transported to the warehouse in an enclosed van – we never use open trailers.

The shipping prices given on our website apply to transports from/to our warehouse in Warsaw to the indicated destination (one way or two ways).

N

DOCUMENTATION

Before starting the packing process, we inspect your vehicle in detail and make a detailed photographic documentation of its condition. All process steps are recorded in a checklist that allows us to keep track of each operation.

That checklist travels with the motorbike, and allows us to ensure that we have water-tight processes to deliver your bike exactly as you gave it to us.

N

SPECIAL CAGES

Your motorcycle is transported in a metal cage specially designed by us. During transport, we DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE WHEELS, so that sensitive parts of the motorcycle, such as ABS sensors or brake discs, don’t get damaged. The motorbike is then securely strapped inside the shipping cage.

We strap it from the rear wheel to avoid compressing the rear suspension. To the front it is anchored in three different points. This way, we’re certain nothing will move and get damaged during transport.

N

PANNIERS AND LUGGAGE

You can transport some luggage with the motorbike. From experience the free luggage allowance is sufficient for most travelers.

With the ALL-IN package, If your motorcycle with the panniers mounted is wider than the cage (which most often happens with large motorcycles), we disassemble and secure the luggage, typically on a separate pallet. To facilitate identification, we ask that you clearly mark the registration number of the bike on each luggage piece. The luggage must be left unlocked, should there be any customs inspection.

Under the EASY RIDER package, you are responsible for ensuring your motorbike fits in the following dimensions: 1200 mm height x 980 mm width and 2300 mm length.

N

COLLECTION OF THE VEHICLE AT DESTINATION

At the destination, we prepare the bikes for collection in the customs warehouse. If you have chosen the ALL-IN package, we unpack the motorcycles from the shipping cages, reconnect the batteries, install mirrors, windshields (if removed) and luggage. We also check the tire pressure and try to start the bike, to make sure we can flag any potential problem.

When you collect your vehicle, we ask that you inspect it, ensure that everything works as the manufacturer intended it to function – and sign a delivery form. You’re then good to go!

With the EASY RIDER package, we will unpack your motorcycle from the shipping cage, check the tire pressure and do a walkaround to check for leaks. We’ll gather your luggage next to your motorbike.. We will then of course also walk you through the customs procedures.

TESTIMONIALS


“Hi MOTOBIRDS! I picked up my motorbike one week ago, in Trento (Italy) after a long trip across Chile, Argentina and Bolivia. I’ve used Motobirds services only for the bike transport from Italy to Chile and back; and not for the group ride across South America (I’ve drived indipendently, with a friend of mine, with two bikes, deciding the route on our own). The transport service has been perfect! And the price is good, in comparison with other agencies offering a similar service. The bike has been handled carefully and has not suffered any demage. The most important note I want to point out is the bureaucracy aspect: Motobirds takes care of all the customs procedures and the customer has only to sign some papers. This is a huge aid for the traveler (the biker). Thank you MOTOBIRS!! Bye, Riccardo”

“MotoBirds to wspaniała obsługa od początku do końca. Motocykl dotarł do celu w ustalonym terminie i co bardzo mi się podobało to ciągły kontakt i informacje, gdzie jest statek itd. Taka komunikacja sprawia, że nie musisz się zastanawiać co się dzieje z Twoim motocyklem i wiesz, że jest w dobrych rękach. Polecam jak najbardziej.”

ANNA ŻAK

“I shipped my bike twice to South America and each time Aleksandra proved to be very professional and reliable. Excellent service, friendly staff and on time delivery. I definetly recommand MotoBirds!”

GEORGE THOMS

“I have recently shipped my bike from South America to Europe, and MotoBirds took care of absolutely everything. All I had to do was show up, hand the bike over, and wait for it to arrive in Europe – MotoBirds dealt with everything from prepping and packing the bike to customs and port paperwork on both Chilean and EU sides. Everything was done extremely efficiently and on time, and when I came to pick my bike up in Warsaw, all it needed was a little bit of chain oil – it started immediately and I could simply ride off. I can’t recommend MotoBirds enough – thank you so much for making international motorcycle shipping easy.”

EGLE GERULAITYTĖ

“Korzystałem z kumplami z transportu do Ameryki Południowej. Wszystko przebiegło sprawnie i terminowo. Ola to osoba w pełni profesjonalna i chętna do pomocy, więc wpłaca przebiegła wzorowo. Korzystaliśmy tylko z transportu, mimo to dostaliśmy sporo cennych rad, dotyczących, różnych ciekawych miejsc i tras motocyklowych. Polecam.”
