1stGati Packers and Movers moves two wheelers across India by train and by road. Bike transport by train is the cheaper option on long routes, because Indian Railways carries the vehicle from the parcel office at the originating station to the parcel office at the destination station. Every booking gets a written quote before anything is booked. Call +91 98770 99804 to check bike parcel charges for your route and pickup date.
The booking covers packing, station paperwork, parcel booking and delivery instructions in one file. Our team reaches the counter with the documents ready, pays the charges and hands you the booking receipt you will need at the other end. If rail dates do not suit, the same team shifts the bike by road on a carrier.
Each booking covers the full bike transportation process, from pickup at your address to release at the destination station.
Indian Railways offers two methods for two wheeler transport. A parcel is sent without you and picked up at the destination station, which suits most moves. Luggage booking keeps the bike on the same train you travel on and costs about 25 percent more than the parcel rate. Both methods ask for the same papers and an empty fuel tank.
| Method | Who it suits | How it is charged |
|---|---|---|
| Parcel | Owner is not travelling with the bike | Rail base fare plus packing |
| Luggage | Owner travels on the same train | About 25% above the parcel rate |
| Road carrier | Home pickup and home delivery needed | Distance based freight |
Rail bike parcel charges depend on distance, bike weight, train type and packing. Base fares for a two wheeler usually run Rs 300 to Rs 2,000, packing adds Rs 300 to Rs 1,000, and insurance costs around 1 to 2 percent of the declared value. Goods and services tax and any station service charge are added at the counter, so ask for the total cost before you pay.
| Route band | Rail parcel | Road carrier |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 300 km | Rs 300 to 800 | Rs 2,500 to 4,000 |
| 300 to 800 km | Rs 700 to 1,400 | Rs 3,500 to 6,000 |
| 800 to 1,500 km | Rs 1,000 to 2,000 | Rs 5,000 to 7,500 |
| Above 1,500 km | Rs 1,500 to 2,000 | Rs 6,500 to 9,000 |
The bands above are approximate freight charges for a standard 100 cc to 150 cc motorcycle. Scooters sit in the same band, and heavy bikes above 200 cc are quoted on weight and crate size.
Have the papers ready before you reach the counter. The booking needs the original registration certificate of the bike with photocopies, and a valid government id such as Aadhaar, driving licence, voter id or passport. The engine number and chassis number go on the booking form, and the registration number of the vehicle is entered on the forwarding note.
Proper packing is what keeps a two wheeler free of scratches in a parcel van. The fuel tank is drained first, because an empty petrol tank is mandatory and a tank left with petrol can draw a fine of Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000 at the station. Mirrors, seat, top box and battery terminals are removed or taped, and the body gets bubble wrap, foam sheet and stretch film.
Heavy bikes and scooters with wide body panels go into a wooden crate built to the size of the bike. The crate is labelled with the registration number, the destination station and a contact number, so the parcel office can identify it at the delivery end.
A parcel normally reaches the destination station within 1 to 7 days depending on distance and the train service used. Collection needs the booking receipt or luggage receipt, the registration certificate and your id proof. The parcel office holds the bike for a free storage period printed on the receipt, and charges apply per day after that. Check the bike condition before you sign, and call our team if anything looks off. Door delivery from the station to your address can be added to the same booking.
Road transport suits routes with no direct train, or when the delivery address is far from the station. The bike is crated at your home, loaded on a carrier, insured for the declared value and delivered to the gate. Transit usually takes 2 to 7 days by route, and road bike transportation charges sit in the bands shown in the charges table above. Two wheelers travel on shared carriers, with a dedicated vehicle available for single bike bookings.
1stGati Packers and Movers handles the paperwork, the packing and the payment at the counter, so you are not standing at the parcel office working out forms. Each booking gets a written quote, a named manager and updates on where the bike is. Crating material, document checks and insurance options are listed on the same quote, and the phone line stays open until the bike is collected at the destination station.
The company moves household goods, cars and two wheelers on the same network, so a bike can travel with the rest of the shipment when dates allow. Quotes are given in writing with the taxes shown, which means the number you approve is the number you pay.
