Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area

CONUS Area is an abbreviation for Continental US area. Military bases within the US do not qualify for free shipping by the government. This means, if your base falls within the US, you will pay for your shipping on your own.

A few exceptions do exist for some officers. To know whether or not you qualify for this exception, get in touch with your transportation officer.

To save yourself some time, you should start looking out for shipping companies near you already. Find out how much their shipping costs and decide which company appeals to you the most.

Military Car Shipping

Moving to a new base will require shipping your household items and your vehicle. PCS moves are often timed, you have limited time to move from your old base to the new one.

As such, you do not have time to waste, therefore you must choose a shipping company as soon as possible.

If you consider driving your car down yourself, this might be stressful for you. Especially if the distance between the two bases is much.

You should outsource your shipping to a third-party shipping company. This will take some work off your hands and give you adequate time to plan your itinerary.

One sure way to have your heart broken is by choosing the wrong shipping company. Ensure you do adequate research about different shipping companies around you. Their policies, insurance packages, client feedback, etc.

Ask questions about the base you are going to. Are there any specific rules surrounding vehicles you should know about? Establish a good rapport with your transportation officer, he will be of immense help to you.

Moving will mandate that you go with some documents. Some of them are;

Proof of ownership of the vehicle
Proof of permission to ship the car
PCS
A government-issued ID card

Preparing your car for Shipment

For a smooth shipping procedure, here are a couple of things you should do;

Documents - This cannot be overemphasized. Ensure your documents are complete and do not leave them in the car.
If your windshield has cracks, fill it out. This will protect it from breaking.
Drain the fuel tank
Wash the car.

Military Motorcycle Shipping

If you have a motorcycle, you will likely want to move it together with you to your new base. This means you might be shipping both your car and your motorcycle. Make sure to find out the rules surrounding motorbikes in Grand Forks AFB.

Although having your car and your motorcycle will appeal to you, keep in mind that you will be spending more money shipping two vehicles at a time.

Not to worry, A1 Auto Transport offers a discount on multiple vehicle shipping.
