Short-distance shipments under 500 miles start around $300-$500, while cross-country moves average $700-$1,200. Enclosed transport provides the best protection and is recommended for long distances.

Is my snowmobile insured during shipping?
Yes, every snowmobile shipment includes comprehensive cargo insurance. We recommend photographing your sled's condition before pickup, including the track, skis, and body panels. Additional coverage is available for high-value racing sleds.
When should I book snowmobile shipping?
We recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (October-December for northbound shipments and March-April for returns). Early booking ensures carrier availability and the best rates.
Can you ship multiple snowmobiles at once?
Yes, we regularly transport multiple snowmobiles on a single shipment. Multi-sled shipments to the same destination qualify for volume discounts, making it more affordable to move your entire fleet.
