Australia - Singapore bike shipping

[guzzigirlguzziguy]

Hi, we have just shipped our 2 bikes, a BMWR80GS and Yamaha XT250 from Darwin to Singapore. We literally missed the boat to East Timor, that's why we shipped to Singapore as the shipping company couldn't give us a confirmed date for the next ship to East Timor. We thought it a better option as to stay in Darwin at this time of the year is a very costly exercise.
Price for the BMW from Darwin to Singapore was $508, Yamaha $496. Costs at the other end for the BMW $125, Yamaha $116. Shipping and port costs only.

The following prices will be given in SGD Singapore dollars.
These are the costs for riding the bike in Singapore..............
Insurance for 1 month in Singapore for BMW, $204, Yamaha $160. International Circulation Permit (ICP) $53.50 x 2, LTA Autopass card $10 x2, port entry permit $3 x2. Then there is the price of fuel, $2.16 litre.

You also have the option of having the bike towed to the Malaysian border, Causeway crossing into Johor.
Costs involved for this, $288 for each bike, on the same truck. No insurance necessary, but all of the other above costs apply. Also expect to pay around $70 in taxi fares to get from one office to the others to organise all the appropriate paperwork and lose at least 2 days of your life in the process!!!

Note, that we did ship with Carnets for both bikes.

Hope this info will be of help or interest to someone out there!!!!!
