Motorcycle Shipping
Oakbridge International Ltd is one of the leading motorcycle shipping Companies in the UK with more than 21 years of successfully moving your pride and joy's globally.
Our philosophy is to offer you a professional, stress free and cost effective solution to moving your bike whether it by air, sea or road.
What's the Process?
You have sold a bike to a fellow motorcyclist overseas who is keen to get hold of his machine as quickly as possible. How quickly will depend on how much he wants to pay for the shipping but we have options to suit every budget.
If the bike is going outside of Europe we would pack the bike in a bespoke compliant timber treated case and one that meets ISPM15 Regulations. This will offer the sort of protection that is needed to ensure that the bike arrives in the condition you sent it.
The price you pay is going to be dependent on the final packed dimensions. For example if you have a large touring bike with screen and panniers fitted we would suggest that these are removed and shipped loose inside the case. This keeps the volume down and saves you money. Why pay more if you don't have too?
We can collect bikes from anywhere within the UK and Europe. Alternatively you can just deliver the bike to our warehouse in the Cambridgeshire / Suffolk border.
Customs Formalities
For every consignment we ship outside of Europe a Customs declaration has to be completed. Don't worry about it as the Oakbridge team will do this for you and it's all included in the rate. All we need is a copy of the V5 Registration document and subject to where the bike is going a copy of your passport.
What do I need to do?
You will need to ensure that the bike is compliant with all import regulations. For example if you're shipping to Australia you will require an import permit from the equivalent of our DVLA. This needs to be in place before we ship the bike.
Insurance
Insurance claims are thankfully incredibly rare but accidents do happen. It's your choice whether you want cover or not but Oakbridge International offer very competitive premiums. Give us a call, you may be pleasantly surprised.
