Bike Shifting in Choodasandra
Choodasandra is full of people who came for a job on the Sarjapur Road side, and every month some of them leave for the next one. The offer is from a company in Pune or Hyderabad or Chennai, the joining date is a few weeks off, and suddenly there's a flat to empty and a bike that has to get there too.

InstantWhere are you moving?
Costs you nothing and there's no salesperson at the end of it.
When it's a new job rather than a transfer, there's no relocation desk organising anything. You're booking it yourself, paying for it yourself, and fitting it round a notice period. The bike is the easiest part to forget and one of the easiest to get right, if you decide early whether you need it to the last day or would rather it was waiting in the new city.
Two dates decide the plan
Your last working day here and your joining date there. Everything about the bike hangs off those two, and it's worth writing them down next to each other before you call anyone, because people are surprisingly often a week out on one of them.
If you ride to work, you probably want the bike until the end. In that case it's collected on your last day or the morning after, and the delivery date is set so it reaches the new city soon after you do. You'll have a short stretch without it at the other end, usually spent finding your way around anyway.
If you don't need it for the commute, or the last few weeks are going to be spent packing rather than riding, send it earlier. Then it's there when you arrive and the first week in the new job isn't spent on buses and cabs while you wait for it.
Notice periods also have a habit of changing halfway. A manager releases you early, or asks you to stay on to finish a handover, and the last working day you planned around shifts by a week or two. Keep the bike booking loose enough to move with it, and tell us the moment anything changes.
Either way, book the bike the week you accept the offer. Waiting until you serve notice leaves it late. Month ends are busy on this corridor because leases turn over together, and a joining date doesn't move just because the carrier slots have.
Paying for it yourself
Without a company paying, the quote matters more. You'll get one figure in writing after a free survey, and it's the figure on the GST invoice at the end. Nothing gets added at the gate on the day.
Some new employers offer a joining or relocation allowance and ask for receipts afterwards. If yours does, ask us for an itemised invoice and keep it with the offer letter, it saves an awkward email to HR three months later.
If the household is moving at the same time, putting the bike on the same truck as the furniture can be cheaper than two separate jobs, since it just becomes an extra line on that quote. The Choodasandra packers page covers the flat side of that.
Getting it out of Choodasandra
The projects here are newer than the roads, and some of the inner lanes still follow the old village layout underneath. A carrier comes to the gate of most blocks. Where a lane is too narrow for it to turn, it parks up on the next road that can take it and you, or one of the crew, bring the bike round.
Sarjapur Road and the junctions feeding it crawl at both office peaks. An early pickup, before half past eight, keeps the carrier moving. On a working day that also means you can hand the bike over and still get to the office.
The society will likely want to know a bike is leaving on another vehicle. Tell the gate the day before and carry the RC copy and your ID when you bring it up.
Scooty shifting when only one of you is moving first
Couples here often stagger the move. One starts the new job first and the other follows after serving a longer notice. The scooty usually stays with whoever is still in Bangalore and travels later, which is fine, just treat it as its own booking with its own date.
A scooter is wrapped and strapped the same way a motorcycle is, after its condition photos, and it tends to cost a little less because it's lighter. Empty the storage under the seat beforehand, and if the person staying will hand it over alone, make sure they have the RC copy.
Bike and two wheeler transport to the new city
Chennai and Hyderabad run often from this side of Bangalore and the Kerala routes are steady. Pune and other cities further off are covered too. If the new job is somewhere smaller, finding a vehicle going there can take longer, and you'll hear that from us before you book. You get the arrival date in writing before anything is loaded, which is what matters when there's a joining date at the other end.
Run the tank low the last few days, since what's left is drained before loading. Take off anything loose, a phone mount, a tank bag. And think about who receives it, if you'll be at your new desk on delivery day, a flatmate or the building's security can take it with your written go-ahead and the delivery photos come to you.
If you're moving between two flats inside Bangalore instead, to Carmelaram, Doddakannelli or anywhere else, it's a same-day job.

Bike and Scooty Shifting in Choodasandra, answered
The destination sets most of the price. A survey is free, video or in person, and then you get one written figure that matches the GST invoice.
If you send it ahead, yes. We commit to a delivery date before loading, so plan the pickup back from your joining date.
Yes. Collection can be on your last working day or the morning after.
We provide an itemised GST invoice. Whether it's reimbursed is up to your employer's policy.
Yes. Hyderabad departures are frequent, and a scooter usually costs a little less than a motorcycle.
Yes, as its own booking with its own date. Make sure your partner has the RC copy.
Yes. It's added to the furniture quote, and that often works out cheaper than booking it separately.
If it can't turn in, it waits where the road opens up and the bike is brought round to it.
Anyone you name in writing, a flatmate, a relative or the building's security.
Sometimes that makes sense, for an older bike. For one you like and plan to keep, sending it is usually the simpler choice.
Tell us as early as you can. If the bike hasn't been loaded yet, the dates can usually be reset.
