Transporting your two-wheeler from Pune to any other city is a streamlined process with two main logistical options. These services ensure your bike reaches its destination safely, offering a convenient alternative to riding it over long distances.
Primary Transport Options and Estimated Costs
Dedicated Road Carriers (Logistics Companies): This method provides a door-to-door service. Vehicles are professionally packed, usually with three layers of secure material (like foam and cardboard), and are transported in covered containers or dedicated moving trucks.
Cost: For nearby destinations, like Mumbai (approx. 150 km), expect charges typically ranging from ₹4,000 to ₹7,000. The price increases significantly for long-distance transport (e.g., South or North India).
Benefits: High security, professional packing/handling, and frequently includes transit insurance and real-time tracking.
Indian Railways Parcel Service: This is the most economical option.
Cost: Generally lower, often between ₹3,000 to ₹5,000, based on weight and distance.
Considerations: This is a station-to-station service. You must personally arrange the packing, deliver the bike to the parcel office, and have someone collect it at the destination station.
Mandatory Requirements
Regardless of the chosen method, the following original documents are essential for booking and RTO verification:
Vehicle Registration Certificate (RC)
Valid Insurance Policy
Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificate
Before finalizing a booking, always ensure the chosen carrier offers adequate insurance coverage against transit damage.
