Fort Hamilton Shipping by A-1 Auto Transport

Fort Hamilton is a United States Army installation in the southwest part of Brooklyn which is a borough of New York City. The fort is surrounded by Bay Ridges and Dyker Heights. It is part of the Military District of Washington which is the headquarters of other stations like Forth Hamilton. The fort was completed in 1831 but major renovations were made in the ’90s.

For service members positioned here, there might be a little worry on how to get your vehicle there. There is no need to worry, A-1 Auto Transport ships vehicles to the fort. We will tell you everything there is about the shipping process.

CONUS Base Shipping

Since Fort Hamilton is located in the United States, the military won’t be paying for the shipping of your vehicle to the fort. You will have to pay for shipping yourself. There is still a chance a few officers will get sponsorship for the shipping of their vehicles to the base. However, this will be under specific, special circumstances. Discuss this with your transportation officer to know if you are eligible for such an exemption. Figuring out which third-party shipping company to hire is the next step. Compare quotes from various companies for good deals.

Military Services Offered

Shipping a POV in the Military

The absence of military sponsorship for shipping a car might make some officers consider driving to Fort Hamilton. If you don’t already live in New York, that will be a long drive which will leave you exhausted at arrival or even late. This makes hiring a third-party shipping company, a better option. It will guarantee the safe arrival of your vehicle while also guaranteeing your punctual arrival as well. Most military bases have various rules surrounding POVs. Fort Hamilton will be among such bases so, contact your transportation officer to find out if your vehicle is eligible to be on base.

A few documents will also be needed as you process the shipping of your vehicle. They include:

Full Registration documents of the vehicle
Proof of ownership
Military Identification
Permanent Change of Station

Getting your car ready for Shipment

It is a good idea to get your car ready for shipment as this will ensure a higher degree of success with the process.

Check the pressure in the tires and fix any leaks that are discovered.
Go through all the compartments in the car and remove personal effects.

Shipping a Motorcycle to a Military Base

In the absence of government sponsorship, you might be tempted to ride the bike from wherever you are to Fort Hamilton. A better option would be to hire a company to ship the bike for you. If you have a family and want to ship a car for their use and a motorcycle for your use, know that you can do it. It will be quite expensive but you will be eligible for military discounts which will reduce the cost. There are documents you will have to get ready as you process the shipping of your bike. You will need to produce proof of ownership of the bike and a valid military ID.
