How to Prepare Your Motorbike for Transport

Preparing for collection starts with clear information about your motorcycle and the pickup location. Bike Taxi arranges enclosed transport from Kraaifontein, Cape Town, with each load planned around the bike and the agreed route.

Send the bike and route details

Provide the make and model, collection and delivery addresses, preferred date and whether the motorbike starts, rolls and steers. Mention locked or seized wheels, existing damage and modifications that affect its dimensions or ground clearance.

Agree access and handover arrangements

Give us the name and phone number of the person at each end of the journey. Explain gates, parking restrictions, steep driveways or other access concerns. Confirm the collection arrangements before making yourself or another person available.

Discuss keys, alarms and accessories

Tell us about steering locks, alarms, immobilisers, panniers and loose accessories. Agree what travels with the bike and how keys will be handed over. Ask about any preparation specific to your motorcycle before collection.

Record the condition before handover

Take clear, dated photographs and point out existing marks or damage. Keep your quotation and the agreed collection and delivery details together so both parties have the same information.

Check your insurance before booking

Bike Taxi does not provide insurance cover for your motorcycle. Before booking, please confirm with your insurer that your own policy covers loading, unloading, transport and any agreed overnight storage. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

Confirm the final arrangements

An enquiry is not a booking. Bike Taxi must accept the job and confirm payment and arrangements. If delivery cannot happen immediately, discuss storage and onward delivery before the motorcycle is collected.
