Shipping Your Bike from Mumbai to Pune

Transporting your two-wheeler from Mumbai to Pune is highly efficient due to the short distance. You have two main reliable options: Professional Bike Transporters or Indian Railways.

1. Professional Bike Transport Services (Recommended)

This method is the quickest and easiest, offering maximum convenience.

Process: Reputable packers and movers offer door-to-door service. Their team will collect the bike from your Mumbai address, securely pack it (using protective materials like foam, bubble wrap, and sometimes a wooden or metal crate), and deliver it directly to your doorstep in Pune.

Time: Transit is very fast, typically taking only 1 to 2 days.

Cost: The price is based on the bike's weight (CC) and the level of service (e.g., insurance). Expect costs to range from ₹2,000 to ₹7,000.

2. Indian Railways (Train Parcel)

This is the most economical option, though it requires more personal effort.

Process: You must visit the Parcel Office at a major station in Mumbai (like CSMT or LTT) to book the transport.

Mandatory Rule: The fuel tank must be completely drained before booking due to safety regulations.

You are responsible for getting the bike packed beforehand.

Time: The transit time is slightly longer than road transport, usually taking 2 to 4 days, as it depends on train schedules and processing times.

Pickup: You must physically collect the bike from the Pune railway station parcel office upon arrival.

Required Documentation

Regardless of the service you choose, you must provide copies of the following documents:

Bike's Registration Certificate (RC).

Bike's valid Insurance Policy.

Your ID Proof (Aadhaar Card, Driving License, etc.).

For the best experience, always compare quotes from a few different transporters and ensure the price includes good packing and adequate insurance coverage.
