A systematic approach to preparing, documenting, and handing over your two-wheeler.
Ensure you have the original RC, valid insurance, government ID, and applicable PUC certificate ready. These are required by authorities during transit.
For EVs, confirm battery state-of-charge requirements and secure loose cables. For petrol bikes, maintain minimal fuel levels as required by carrier safety standards.
Take clear photographs of your bike from all angles before handover. Note any existing scratches, dents, or non-standard accessories on the pickup record.
At the destination, compare the bike against your pre-move photographs and the handover record before signing the final delivery acceptance.
Understanding the available methods to safely transport your bike.
Road transport is the primary choice for door-to-door convenience. Shared enclosed carriers offer protection from weather and dust, while open or dedicated trucks are selected based on the route, bike dimensions, and budget.
Indian Railways provides parcel (unaccompanied) or luggage (accompanied) options. While economical, rail requires station counter drop-off, specific packing, and collection by the owner directly at the railway terminal.
Never compare a single price total. Compare what the transport quote actually includes to avoid hidden costs during the move.
| Quote Dimension | ShiftGo Standard Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Transport Mode | Confirmed (Shared enclosed road carrier, rail parcel, etc.) | Affects transit conditions, timeline, and risk of weather exposure. |
| 2. Pickup Scope | Doorstep or nearest accessible landmark | Terminal-only drops mean extra local transport costs for you. |
| 3. Packing | Multi-layer or basic protection specified | Mirrors, indicators, and paint need specific wrap or crating. |
| 4. Loading | Professional ramp or lift loading | Improper loading is a primary cause of handling damage. |
| 5. Hub Transfers | Direct route or hub consolidation noted | Multiple unloads/reloads increase the risk of scratches. |
| 6. Transit Protection | Declared value and liability terms provided | Your standard motor insurance may not cover transit damage fully. |
| 7. Updates | Communication schedule agreed before dispatch | Establishes how and when you will receive progress reports. |
| 8. Delivery Scope | Doorstep or terminal collection specified | Clarifies who is responsible for the final mile to your home. |
| 9. Storage | Free holding days and demurrage charges noted | Prevents surprise bills if you cannot collect the bike immediately. |
| 10. Taxes | GST inclusion clearly stated | A 5% or 18% addition at the end changes the comparison entirely. |
| 11. Final Payable | Written quote with all of the above | Ensures the quoted price is the actual price you pay. |
