How often do the scheduled motorbike transport routes run? +
Each of the three routes runs once a week in each direction: Phuket - Bangkok along the southern corridor, Ubon Ratchathani - Bangkok - Chiang Mai, and Rayong - Bangkok - Udon Thani. The exact pickup date is confirmed when you book, so post your request with a flexible week rather than a single fixed day.
Which cities can be pickup or drop-off points? +
Any city along the three routes: Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi, Surat Thani, Chumphon, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Hua Hin and Phetchaburi in the south; Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket, Surin, Buriram, Korat, Khon Kaen, Maha Sarakham and Udon Thani in Isan; Ayutthaya, Sing Buri, Chai Nat, Uthai Thani, Nakhon Sawan, Kamphaeng Phet, Tak and Chiang Mai going north; Rayong, Pattaya and Chonburi in the east - plus Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Samut Sakhon and Samut Prakan. Pickup and delivery are door to door at your address.
Why is scheduled transport cheaper than on-demand? +
Because the truck drives the route every week anyway and your bike shares a planned, well-filled run. Bangkok - Phuket and Bangkok - Chiang Mai start at 3,000 THB per scooter on a scheduled run, while the same routes on demand start at 4,100 THB. Handling is the same - the saving comes from the planned schedule, not from cutting corners.
How far in advance should I book a slot? +
A few days ahead is usually enough. Slots on each departure are limited, and when a truck fills up the next departure is a week away. If your dates are too tight for the schedule, on-demand transport is still available - post the same free request and compare.
How much does Bangkok - Phuket or Bangkok - Chiang Mai cost on a scheduled run? +
On the weekly scheduled runs: 3,000 THB for a scooter (PCX, Click, Nmax), 3,500 THB for a mid-size bike (Forza, Xmax, roughly 300-650 cc) and 4,000 THB for a big bike (650 cc+), per bike, valid in both directions. Unusual or high-value motorcycles, such as a Harley-Davidson Pan America or a Honda Gold Wing, are priced individually.
What does a different leg on these routes cost - for example Udon Thani - Bangkok? +
Legs other than Bangkok - Phuket and Bangkok - Chiang Mai are priced individually. Post a free quote request naming your pickup and delivery city, and SendMoto replies with the scheduled price for the nearest weekly departure. Independent verified carriers can also send their own offers.
Is door-to-door pickup really included in the price? +
Yes. The truck collects the bike at your address in any city along the route and delivers it to the door at the destination. There are no terminals and you do not need to bring the bike anywhere.
Can any motorcycle go on a scheduled run? +
Running scooters, mid-size bikes and big bikes all travel on the scheduled runs. Non-runners and unusual or high-value motorcycles - a Harley-Davidson Pan America, a Honda Gold Wing - need their own price and sometimes their own setup, so they always go through an individual quote request.
