Bikes are much smaller than all other transport vehicles, not including scooters. They allow you to travel fast, park easily and consume a much lesser amount of fuel for each mile traveled. In case you decide to shift, the way the bike is moved depends usually on the destination. If you are shifting locally, you can drive your bike to the destination yourself. Why would you pay for something when you can do it yourself easily? In case of distant destinations, you have the option of shifting by transport vehicle or Bike Shifting by Train. In most cases the shifting services will let you know which option is best for you. The trains will always be a better option as they are much cheaper to use and secure.
The options provided by the railways
If you have selected to use trains for bike moving, you will need to find the nearest railway station. As for the booking you must keep bike registration documents and Identity proofs handy. You can move your bike as luggage or parcel.

If you are taking your bike as a luggage, you will be traveling with it though in different compartments. Shifting bikes as a luggage is slightly more expensive than shifting as a parcel. To book your bike as luggage you must come early and collect a delivery receipt. You must write the owner's name and the destination clearly on your bike. You can collect it when you reach the destination.
-
If you are shifting your bike as a parcel, you will need to deposit it, packed, at the railways office. You can collect it at the destination by showing your receipt. You must collect it within 48 hours or there will be extra storage charges.
Even cars can be shifted by railways, but due to their size you will have to use containers. You can hire Car Transportation Services in India for this purpose. Not all stations allow loading, unloading of containers, hence you can ask the service providers if and how this facility can be used.
