Shipping bike from Scotland to Montevide or Santiago
Hi All!
I am looking forward to ride around South America so I need to send my bike from Scotland to Montevideo or Santiago depending on the costs. Would also open to hear advice for air freight if any rider have had the experience. I have very few days to prepare the bike in the Scotland or UK so would need a plan that is straight forward.
Cheers!

Also consider sending to Cartagena, Colombia. I haven't shipped bikes, but have shipped a van from US to and from Colombia.
We used IVSSUK, found at ivssuk.com
You can also try Overland Embassy that is located in Panama City. They do a lot of airfrieght motorcycles between N and S America, and may have ideas.

I used Moto Freight (based near Heathrow) to fly my bike to Santiago recently. They were brilliant and the whole process couldn't have been easier. I took my bike, kit and luggage to their depot and left it for them to pack and crate. They did everything. The bike arrived in Santiago on schedule, the day after I did, I collected it from the airport and rode off. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
