Nationwide transport for ATVs, UTVs, side-by-sides, and quads. Crated, palletized, or strapped shipping for every brand of off-road vehicle. Door-to-door in all 50 states.
ATV and UTV shipping is the auto transport service for recreational off-road vehicles — all-terrain vehicles (quads), utility task vehicles (UTVs), side-by-sides, and similar off-road vehicles ranging from compact youth quads to massive multi-passenger side-by-sides like the Polaris RZR XP Turbo and Can-Am Maverick X3 RR. These vehicles aren't street-legal for highway driving, so shipping is often the only practical way to move them between regions, from dealerships to buyers, or to remote riding destinations.
Razorback Auto Transport ships ATVs and UTVs nationwide using carriers experienced with off-road vehicles. Whether you're sending an ATV to a hunting cabin, shipping a UTV to your winter home in Arizona, transporting a side-by-side to a dune destination, or coordinating dealer-to-buyer delivery for an online ATV purchase, our shipping service handles the entire move door-to-door.
All-terrain vehicles — typically straddle-style, single-rider machines with handlebar steering. Brands include Polaris Sportsman, Honda Foreman/Rancher/Rubicon, Yamaha Kodiak/Grizzly, Can-Am Outlander, Suzuki KingQuad, Kawasaki Brute Force, Arctic Cat. ATVs are smaller and lighter than UTVs, which makes shipping more affordable — often multiple ATVs ship together on a single carrier.
Utility task vehicles with car-style steering wheels, bench or bucket seating, roll cages, and often multiple passenger positions. Brands include Polaris RZR/Ranger/General, Can-Am Maverick/Defender/Commander, Honda Pioneer/Talon, Yamaha Wolverine/YXZ, Kawasaki Teryx/Mule, John Deere Gator. UTVs are physically larger and heavier than ATVs, which increases shipping cost — but they ship using essentially the same methods.
Sport ATVs (Yamaha Raptor, Honda TRX 450R) and sport UTVs (Polaris RZR XP, Can-Am Maverick X3) are designed for performance and tend to be lighter than utility models with similar dimensions. Utility models with cargo beds, plows, or accessories weigh more and may cost slightly more to ship.
The most common and economical method. The ATV or UTV is loaded onto a standard auto transport carrier alongside cars and trucks, secured with appropriate straps to the deck. This method is fine for most stock ATVs and UTVs and offers the best pricing.
The vehicle is loaded onto a wheeled pallet that gets transported as a unit. Palletized ATV shipping is common for higher-value sport models, custom builds, and situations where additional protection is desired without going to full enclosed transport.
The ATV or UTV ships inside a wooden crate that protects it completely from external contact. Crated shipping is the standard for dealer-to-dealer movement of brand-new vehicles and provides the most protection short of full enclosed transport.
The vehicle ships inside a fully enclosed trailer, protected from all weather and visibility. Enclosed ATV/UTV shipping is the premium option, used for high-value sport models, custom-painted builds, and any shipment where total protection is preferred.
Approximate pricing for standard strapped transport:
Multi-vehicle ATV shipments (2–4 ATVs together) get per-vehicle discounts. Palletized or crated shipping adds $100–$200. Enclosed ATV/UTV transport runs 50–100% above standard pricing. Razorback provides exact pricing online for your specific vehicle.
Multi-vehicle shipping discounts: If you're shipping more than one ATV, UTV, or off-road vehicle to the same destination, mention this when booking. Multi-vehicle pricing is significantly more economical per vehicle than separate shipments. Many hunting clubs, family groups, and dealers take advantage of this for seasonal moves.
From compact youth quads to multi-passenger sport UTVs, Razorback Auto Transport handles every off-road vehicle with experienced carriers. Get a free ATV or UTV shipping quote online, or call (866) 605-0281 to speak with a specialist about your specific vehicle.

No, not for standard shipping. Most ATVs and UTVs ship strapped to standard auto carriers without crating. Crated shipping is optional for additional protection — usually chosen for higher-value sport models or for dealer-to-dealer transport of brand-new vehicles. Strapped transport is fine for the vast majority of shipments.
Yes. Razorback ships custom and modified UTVs regularly — vehicles with light bars, oversized tires, aftermarket roll cages, custom paint, audio systems, and other modifications. Provide accurate height and width measurements at booking so we dispatch a carrier with appropriate deck height for any oversized accessories.
For most ATVs and UTVs, open transport is the standard and most economical choice. Choose enclosed shipping for: high-value sport ATVs and UTVs ($25,000+), custom-painted vehicles, racing machines with sensitive components, and any shipment where weather protection is preferred. Crated open transport offers a middle ground.
