Keep these things in mind before sending a bike
To transport a bike as parcel or luggage, you must keep some things in mind. For example, make booking at least a day before the day on which you want to send the bike. At the time of booking, you should have the registration certificate and insurance documents of the bike with you. Apart from this, keep important documents like Aadhaar, driving license also with you. Before packing the bike, empty the petrol tank completely.
