Kirtland Airforce Base Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

Kirtland Airforce Base is located within the US, specifically in the southeast quadrant of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

An interesting fact about Kirtland Airforce is that it shares the same runway with the international Airport, making ABQ, a civil-military airport.

Kirtland AFB is the largest installation in Air Force Global Strike Command and the sixth-largest in the United States Air Force.

If you are posted to this base, you will need to move your car from your current location. The procedure is quite straightforward, however, you might need some help. This is why we, at A1 Auto Transport have put this guide together, to ensure your car is shipped to you safely.

Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area

Kirtland AFB is located in Albuquerque, which is a city in New Mexico. This means the base is within the CONUS Area. The idea of being relocated to a Base within the US might excite you, but the government might not pay for the shipping of your vehicle. They only pay for the shipping of vehicles outside the Continental United States(OCONUS).

To make further inquiries about this, you should take your PCS and discuss it with your transportation officer. Chances are, you might be amongst the few exceptions made and get free shipping.

To prepare ahead, you should start looking out for shipping companies and their costs.

Military Car Shipping

When you receive an order to move to a new base, you have to hit the road right away. You might not have enough time to drive down yourself, except the base is pretty close to your current location.

You should consider hiring a shipping company to assist in transporting your car to your new location. That way, you can focus on arriving at the right time.

You might be tempted to look out for a shipping company with the cheapest quote, however, keep in mind that should your car encounter any damage, you would be spending a lot more than what you would have if you hired the best hands.

If you are moving from another state to Albuquerque, New Mexico, you should find out the specific laws regarding vehicle shipping. Contact your transportation officer for more clarification. This way you avoid a situation whereby you are breaking a law.

You will be required to have to provide certain documents during the documentation phase of your car shipping.

They include;

A government-issued means of identification
Proof of ownership of the vehicle(either you or your family member)
A permit to ship a car that has been leased.

Preparing your car for Shipment

When preparing your car for shipment, there are a couple of things you must do to guarantee safety and transparency;

Ensure every crack on the windshield is sealed. If this is not done, there is the risk of the windshield breaking entirely.
Drain the petrol in the file tank to empty or almost empty.
Wash the car and clean thoroughly

Since your base falls outside the Continental United States area, you will have to sponsor the transportation of your motorbike to your new area yourself.

You can decide to ship your car and your motorbike together although this will cost you more. Consider hiring a shipping company like A1 Auto Transport, as we offer discounts on multiple shipping.
