My friend wants to ship 2 bikes back to FL from here and they're charging her $500 each, is that a good rate? Which companies have people used here for shipping that are good in price and service?

$500 is actually a good price for here to Florida. The company I would recommend is Federal Motorcycle Transport http://www.funtransport.com/ But they would be $600 - $700
I've used haulbikes (very pleased with them) and that price sounds about right.

I've used forward air for a number of bikes with good results. They have reinforced steel containers, so you show up with bike, tie downs and a couple of good locks and load them up.
I also had a bike shipped to me once on United Van Lines, and that was a very good experience, although considerably more expensive.
$500 per bike is a very fair rate.
I offered to rent a trailer and truck from u-haul and take them down there myself need a road trip and just fly back... not sure if the $1000 would be worth it lol

I've also used haulbikes.com....twice, with great success. Both were from the mid-south (MO/TN) and both cost around $500.

Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
One note of advice.
When you call a vehicle shipping service bike/car doesn't matter usually, they are brokers who hire independent truck drivers to fill the trailers. So be careful with who you call and if the price is really low there is a reason. Pick a quote in the middle range and make sure to ask questions. When they show up to load the vehicle be very demanding on the condition and expectation.

Alright nvm then haha, would have been a cool trip to take cause I've never been to FL and could've stopped by Kansas for some BBQ ... I'll let her know of this info before she commits to a shipper and go from there, danke schön!

FYI, Haulbikes is NOT a broker. They have their own big blue trucks and only ship motorcycles.

Yep haulbikes brought their own truck and it's a big one!

This is an issue that will span life as we all know it. Forward air is what I like unless there is a similar company using frame shipping containers. How much do you like the bike is the question.
