Canberra Car Shipping

Ship your Vehicle from Canberra

The completely planned city of Canberra is the capital of Australia.

The city is completely planned meaning every structure and road is structured to a specific plan. It is rated as one of the best cities to live in in the world. As Australia’s seat of power, there are many government institutions in the city. This includes many institutions of the Australian Defense Force.

If your PCS points you in the direction of this city, you will enjoy being in the dead center of Australian politics. If you intend to take a vehicle with you, it might seem confusing on how to achieve this but we can help. Let us tell you how.

Hauling to a Base

Canberra is in Australia so; it is outside the Continental United States. This implies that the United States government is going to pay for the transportation of one vehicle of yours if you are posted to Canberra.

However, the details of that sponsorship and when it will arrive can be inconvenient for you as an officer. To be sure you are getting the support you need from the government, follow up with your transportation officer.

Third-party moving companies are very efficient and will help you come up with the best shifting plan. Contact an auto transportation company early.

Full List of Military Moving Services We Offer

Although Canberra is on the other side of the world, we can still ship an assortment of vehicles and items to the city. They include:

• SUVs
• Cars
• Household items
• Motorcycles

Military Automobile Relocation

Driving to Australia is not an option. You might be tempted to purchase a vehicle there when you arrive. However, with the government paying to haul one car, you don’t need to make such a decision.

Ensure you are eligible for the sponsorship and that you are properly documented to receive it. You will still need to plan for the shifting of your vehicle by contacting a third-party hauling company.

Ask your relocation officer if there are certain rules about vehicles in Canberra. There would be no point in taking a vehicle that you won’t be allowed to use.

There are, of course, documents that you will have to submit at certain points of the process:

• Proof of ownership of the vehicle you intend to ship
• Military identification
• PCS
• Agreement with the owner of the leased vehicle to export it to Canberra
• Vehicle exportation forms

Preparing for Moving

Preparing your car for shipping isn’t a tricky thing, but it is essential. You should:

• Remove or disconnect the car battery. This will reduce the rate of discharge as the car is relocated.
• Wash the car thoroughly with detergent and rinse with clean water.

Motorcycle Shifting

If you intend to ship a motorcycle to Canberra, the government will sponsor that as your only POV. You are entitled to such sponsorship. Visit your transportation officer to know exactly what the rules are concerning motorbikes in your new station.

If you want to ship a motorcycle as a second vehicle, know that the government will only pay for one of those vehicles and not both. It would be better if you place the car on the benefit while you pay for the bike because shipping a bike is cheaper than a car.

You will have to prove that the bike is yours or that you have been permitted by the owner to take it to Australia. So, get your documentation intact.

Preparing your motorcycle for Shipment

You can prepare your motorcycle for shipping by doing the following:

• Wash the bike and dry it with a clean cloth.
• Drain all fluids out of the motorbike.
