π Car & Bike Transport Services in India β Complete Guide (2025)
Relocating isnβt just about shifting household goods. For many families and professionals, transporting cars and bikes safely is equally important. Whether itβs moving for a job, transferring between cities, or purchasing a vehicle remotely, you need trusted vehicle shifting services.
But how do car and bike transport services work in India? What are the costs, risks, and precautions? Hereβs a complete guide to car and bike transport services in India, with everything you need to know before booking.
π Car Transport Services in India

Car is inspected, photos taken, and RC/ID verified.
A protective cover or corrugated sheet may be used.
Vehicle is loaded into a car carrier (6β8 cars together).
Secured with wheel locks and hydraulic lifts.
Transported to destination, unloaded with care.
