How Long Does It Take for a VPC To Ship Your Vehicles?

How Long Does It Take for a VPC To Ship Your Vehicles?

Are you looking to transport your privately owned vehicle (POV) through a Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) and have some questions? A-1 Auto Transport is here to help you navigate the entire process from A to Z!

VPCs are the places where you need to drop off the vehicle to ship it overseas, otherwise known as OCONUS cargo. You are only allowed to use the VPC for the shipment of one vehicle that the military has pre-authorized for shipment. If you’re wondering how long VPC shipment times usually are, A-1 Auto Transport can help you find out.

VPC Shipping Timeline Overview

Moving to an OCONUS destination will likely take longer than a CONUS delivery, which usually takes between 2 to even ten days.

For international shipments, the timeframe can extend to as much as 21 days, possibly even more, as many different factors can influence cargo timelines:

  • Freight destination
  • Time of year
  • Extra delivery requirements or special considerations
  • Type of vehicle, etc.

In some cases, you may be able to access expedited cargo and speed up the process along.

An A-1 AT consultant is happy to sit down with you and explain all your options, so don’t hesitate to reach out by calling 1-800-452-2880 and get answers to all your questions.

Where Are the VPCs Located?

VPCs can be found in different locations both in the US and overseas. As it stands, there are a total of 14 US-based VPCs:

  • Atlanta
  • Baltimore
  • Charleston
  • Dallas
  • Denver
  • Dallas
  • Jacksonville
  • Los Angeles
  • Norfolk
  • New York Metro
  • Orlando
  • San Diego
  • Seattle

Overseas VPCs can be found in:

  • Bahrain
  • Belgium
  • Germany
  • Guam
  • Hawaii
  • Italy

  • Turkey
  • United Kingdom

In the case of CONUS freight, you will be responsible for handling all the logistical aspects of the tasks (including finding a transport company and paying for the service). For OCONUS delivery, the military will pay to ship one POV. As a result, the process is handled through their transportation department.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
