Delhi To Rajkot Bike Transport Basics: Distance, Time, And Why It Varies
Engineering workshops, auto-parts makers and the diamond trade pull people to Rajkot. It is a good drop for shifts that are not on a rush timeline.
Plan on roughly 1,070 km and 4–6 days on the road. The quoted days start when the vehicle leaves Delhi; pickup usually takes a day before that, and delivery needs a time you agree with the driver. The route normally follows NH48 to Ahmedabad and then the Ahmedabad–Rajkot highway.
| Road distance | About 1,070 km |
|---|---|
| Standard transit | 4–6 days |
| Express transit | 2–4 days |
| Starting price (commuter bike) | ₹4,650 onwards |
| Pickup | Delhi and NCR (Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad) |
| Delivery | Door delivery in Rajkot and nearby areas |
Why the timing changes
Ahmedabad–Rajkot highway has frequent trucks, and sudden heavy rain in Saurashtra can slow the last day.
Besides that, four things move the date more than anything else:
- How often carriers leave for Rajkot. A bike booked on a day when a vehicle is already loading leaves sooner than one that waits for a full load.
- Season. June to September is the slow season for ghat and coastal sections. Winter is generally smooth, apart from morning fog out of Delhi.
- Where you are in the NCR. Pickup from Delhi proper is quickest. If you are in Gurgaon, Noida or Faridabad, mention your sector when you ask for the quote.
- Who receives it. A delivery that needs an RWA letter or gate pass takes longer than one where the driver can park outside and hand over.
How to Ship my Bike! - 3 Ways To Transport Your Bike From Delhi To Rajkot
People usually ask which method is best, and the honest answer depends on distance, the bike, and how much you want to handle yourself.
1. Door-to-door by covered carrier
The crew comes to you, wraps the bike, ties it down inside a covered body, and delivers to your Rajkot address. A commuter bike runs about ₹4,650 to ₹6,350, with 4–6 days on the road. You only need to be present at pickup and at delivery. Read more on our door-to-door bike transport page.
2. Railway parcel
Possible, but slow. The bike goes by parcel train from a Delhi station, and you collect it at Rajkot. Packing is on you, the tank must be nearly empty, and transit depends on which trains run that week, so it can take longer than a carrier. If the parcel office at Rajkot cannot take two-wheelers, you are stuck, so ask first. See our train vs truck comparison.
3. Ride it yourself
1,070 km is 3 days of riding at a comfortable pace, and 2 nights on the road. Fuel is around ₹2,250 for a commuter bike (about ₹3,400 for a 350cc Royal Enfield). Toll is free for bikes, but hotels, food and a return ticket are not. It works if you want the trip. It does not work if you are in a hurry or the bike is new and still running in.
For most people moving house or job, the covered carrier is the one that makes sense. We handle everything from motorcycles and scooters to Royal Enfield and sports bikes.
Delhi To Rajkot Bike Transport Costs: What You’re Really Paying For
Prices below are what most customers pay on this route. They are ranges because the same cc can mean different weight and handling, and because carriers price by the week's load.
| Bike type | Price range (incl. GST) | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Scooter / moped (up to 125cc) | ₹4,250 – ₹5,650 | 4–6 days |
| Commuter bike (100–160cc) | ₹4,650 – ₹6,350 | 4–6 days |
| Royal Enfield / cruiser (350–650cc) | ₹5,550 – ₹7,800 | 4–6 days |
| Sports bike (300cc+) | ₹8,800 – ₹12,350 | 4–6 days |
| Superbike (650cc+) | Quoted after we know the exact model | |
Where the money goes (commuter bike, mid-range quote of ₹5,500)
| Item | Approx. amount |
|---|---|
| Line-haul freight (Delhi to Rajkot) | ₹3,350 |
| Loading, strapping and standard wrap | ₹550 |
| Door pickup and door delivery | ₹750 |
| GST at 18% | ₹850 |
| Total | ₹5,500 |
Extras and adjustments
- Transit insurance: 2.5% of the declared value, with a minimum of ₹300. On a bike valued at ₹70,000 that is about ₹1,750, plus GST.
- Express delivery: adds about 25% to the transport portion and brings the time down to 2–4 days.
- Depot instead of door: if you collect from or drop at a transport hub, you save about ₹750 plus GST.
- Difficult access: a narrow lane or a low basement can mean a smaller vehicle for the last stretch, and that can cost extra. Say so when you ask for the quote.
- Waiting time: a driver held up for hours at either end may bill for the wait. Ask what the rule is before you book.
The price rises with distance, but not in a straight line. The first few hundred kilometres cost more per km than the rest, because loading, packing and paperwork are fixed.

The Safety Checklist Before You Pay Any Advance for Bike Shipping from Delhi
A few minutes of checking can save you a lot. Here is what to confirm before paying anyone an advance.
- Get the quote in writing. It should name the pickup address, the Rajkot delivery address, packing, insurance, GST and the days promised.
- Ask if the bike stays on one vehicle. Over 1,070 km, a transfer at a hub is where most damage and delay happen.
- Prepare the bike. Keep fuel to about a litre, tape or disconnect the battery lead, remove loose accessories and keep one key with you. Our how to prepare your bike guide covers the rest.
- Pay into a business account and take an invoice. A transfer to someone's personal number with no bill leaves you with nothing to show later.
- Get a driver or coordinator number. You should be able to reach a real person while the bike is moving.
- Keep the advance small. A booking amount is normal. Anyone who wants the full payment before the bike has even been picked up deserves suspicion.
- Read the insurance. Ask for the policy copy, what is covered (theft, accident, damage in loading), the excess, and who to call after a problem.
- Plan the Rajkot delivery. Old market areas such as Dhebar Road have narrow lanes where a truck cannot go.
Documents You Usually Need for Bike Transport from Delhi to Rajkot (And When NOC Matters)
Crew at pickup will ask for a short set of documents. Registration in Gujarat is a separate job that you do after the bike arrives.
- RC (registration certificate): a copy goes with the bike, and the original stays with you.
- Loan papers: if the RC shows hypothecation, carry the lender's consent letter for the move.
- Valid insurance: a copy of the bike's current policy.
- Authorisation letter: if someone other than the owner hands over or receives the bike, with their ID.
- ID proof: Aadhaar, driving licence or passport of the owner.
- Contact details: a phone number and landmark for both Delhi and Rajkot.
When NOC matters
The transport itself runs without an NOC. The need comes up when you register the bike in Gujarat: the old registration works there for twelve months, and after that a new number is required. Delhi's transport office gives the NOC, and a financed bike needs the lender's clearance before it can.
Rajkot RTO (GJ-03) handles transfers, and you will need a Delhi NOC and an address proof.
One more point. If you qualify for the BH (Bharat) series, you do not need to re-register when you move states. Also check the current rules on older vehicles in Delhi–NCR with the transport department, because they have changed more than once. For a full list, see our documents required for bike transport article.
Step-By-Step Booking Process of Bike Transport from Delhi to Rajkot: Pickup To Delivery
Most bookings follow these seven steps. Our how it works page has more detail.
- Start with the form. Give your name, number and bike. If the bike is a Duke or R15 and the drop is near Kalawad Road, mention it so the quote fits.
- Compare and confirm. You get a written quote with the days. Pay a small booking amount only after reading it.
- Prepare the bike. Drain the tank to about a litre, remove accessories and clean it so scratches show up in the photos.
- Pickup day. Someone should be at the house to sign. The bike is photographed from all sides, wrapped, strapped and loaded.
- Transit to Rajkot. Expect about 4–6 days on the road. You get the driver or coordinator number for updates.
- Fix the delivery time. If you are in Kalawad Road or University Road, tell the driver the society name and gate number, and who will be there.
- Inspect and close. Match the bike to the pickup photos, start it, and note any damage on the paper before you sign and pay.
In Rajkot we usually deliver to Kalawad Road, University Road, Raiya Road, 150 Feet Ring Road, Mavdi and Gondal Road. Old market areas such as Dhebar Road have narrow lanes where a truck cannot go.
Mistakes People Make On This Bike Shipping Route (And How You Avoid Them)
- Choosing only on price. A quote far below the others usually means a shared, transfer-heavy journey or missing insurance.
- Not checking who signs. Whoever signs at delivery accepts the bike as is, so have the right person there.
- Forgetting the second key. Hand over only one, and keep the other with you.
- A mistake specific to Rajkot. Not asking if the carrier changes at Ahmedabad. Many do, and unless you know, you cannot track which vehicle has your bike.
- Not planning the drop. Typical delivery areas include Kalawad Road, University Road, Raiya Road, 150 Feet Ring Road, Mavdi and Gondal Road. Old market areas such as Dhebar Road have narrow lanes where a truck cannot go.
