Hello Olaf,

I'm looking for a transport solution from Brussels/Belgium to the north of Spain/ biarritz - sout of France (Saint Sebastian). The vehicle is a WR250R (enduro bike +/- 130kg with arround 20 kg gear). I can deliver the bike in Belgium (anywhere) but whould need to pick it up somewhere between above mentioned cities.

I'm crossing fingers to have a short two weeks trip started arround end of May/beginning of June once this COVID-19 pandemia will start to clear out a bit.

Does your company also provide this type of "short distance" services?

Regards,

If Olaf can't help you, then try your local office of DSV - or another pan-European trucking company, but I know our local DSV office knows how to handle bikes.

Basically you just need to rent a bike transport frame. Then that can be loaded like a pallet into a truck, and delivered to a cargo terminal in a location you want. Within the EU it's very easy. From Estonia to North Italy by DSV was something like ~250 euros one way.

It's cheaper if you ship two bikes at once, since the frames can stack on top of each other, and they only take up one frame's worth of "floor space" in a trailer.

Dear Miguel
thanks for yr request. Sorry, we're doing overseas business only, transports within Europe are not part of our business.

Best regards
Olaf
