Frequently Asked Questions (Bike Transport Checklist)
Answers to key questions regarding bike shipping preparation.
Why should I drain petrol before bike transport?
Draining petrol prevents inflammable vapor hazards and fuel leakage inside enclosed transport trucks and train parcel vans during highway motion.
Can I keep my helmet and jacket inside the bike storage box?
It is recommended to carry personal items separately. Loose helmets or accessories can move during transit and cause scratches to side cowls.
What documents are mandatory to hand over to packers?
You need to provide clear photocopies of the RC, insurance policy, and government photo ID (Aadhaar or PAN Card). Never hand over original RC documents.
How do I verify vehicle condition at destination delivery?
Unwrap the bike in front of the delivery agent, inspect for any new scuffs against the pre-pickup inspection sheet, check the odometer, and sign the delivery slip.
Are IBA-approved bills provided for corporate claims?
Yes, Shree Ashirwad Packers supplies 100% legal IBA-approved GST tax invoices, LR consignment bills, and money receipts for claim reimbursement.
