Shipping Motorcycle to Germany via West Coast Shipping. Seattle to San Francisco on Honda ST1300

This is my experience shipping my motorcycle from Seattle Washington to Bremerhaven Germany.

Westcoast Shipping was my choice due to its excellent customer service and its location near the San Fransisco Bay Area. Westcoast Shipping offered to pick up my bike in Seattle Washington, but I chose to make a trip out of it and deliver the bike myself to their Richmond Warehouse east of San Francisco in the Bay Area.

My contact during the entire process was Monica. You may receive Monica depending on your shipping “from” location. You may also be contacted by Nick once your vehicle is at the warehouse. Both Monica and Nick were wonderful to work with “and” the entire staff at the Richmond California location.

Here is the link for Westcoast Shipping: https://www.wcshipping.com/

Fill out the information on the right side of the website to receive a quote. They ship worldwide from various locations from the USA and to the USA.
Since my bike and my car are both being shipped to Germany (the car shipped on a later date), Reyer International Car Logistics will contact you once your vehicle is en route to Germany. Reyer International Car Logistics will handle customs for you, reducing stress levels and providing worry-free transport and delivery. Reyer International Car Logistics also handles vehicles from Canada, Switzerland, Dubai & Saudi Arabia. If you are shipping to another part of Europe or other parts of the world, you will be contacted by a different Agency/Company.

I have a German Address, so I will be registering the bike under my name and my German address.

You can drive your motorcycle or car in Germany and most of Europe with your USA license plates by using Tour-Insure: https://www.tourinsure.de/en/internat...

Tour-Insure is like a “Green Card” for your vehicle. So “if” you ship your car or motorcycle to Germany and Tour Europe for 1 month, 2 months, or up to 12 months, use Tour-Insure: https://www.tourinsure.de/en/internat...

Good luck with your shipping adventures. Please leave a comment on your shipping experience.
