Malmstrom Air Force Base Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

Malmstrom Air Force Base is the United States Air Force Base, and census-designated place located in Cascade County, Montana.

It was named in honor of a World War II prisoner of war, Colonel Einar Axel Malmstrom. Its origins can be traced back to 1939 when World War II began. It is currently home to the 341^st Missile Wing. Its total population is almost 3500 as a census-designated place.

The base is a great place to be posted to but you might be worried about how to get your vehicle to Montana and the base in particular. We at A-1 Auto Transport offer vehicle shipping services to military officers and we ship to Malmstrom Air Force Base.

Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area

Malmstrom Air Force Base is located in Montana, a state in the United States. The military has a policy of not sponsoring the shipping of vehicles and items belonging to military officers posted to bases on US soil.

Under certain conditions, however, the policy is waived off for a few officers because of the unique situations they are in. To know if you qualify for such a waiver, contact your transportation officer to find out details.

Whatever the case, you should begin planning for the shipping of your vehicle by starting with drawing a budget.

Full List of Military Shipping Services We Offer

Apart from shipping cars, we have the following military shipping services:

Shipping Motorcycles
Shipping Trucks

Military Car Shipping

Without an authorized exemption, you will be paying for the transportation of your vehicle to the air force base. There is the option of driving the vehicle but that would be risky if you aren’t a few miles away from Malmstrom AFB.

It is risky because driving might make you arrive late at the base. A better option will be to hire an auto transport company, like us, to ship your vehicle to the base.

In most cases, there are rules surrounding the type of vehicles that are allowed into bases. Each base has its rules, so, ask your transportation officer for details on Malmstrom AFB.

There are also documents that will be needed for shipping a vehicle and they include:

Proof of ownership of the vehicle
Military Identity Card
A permit to ship a leased vehicle.

relocating military equipment to another place

Preparing your car for Shipment

Preparing a car for shipping is pretty easy. All you need to do is:

Drain the fuel in the fuel tank to reduce the chances of spillage.
Get a mechanic to fix any faults or problems the car might have.

Military Motorcycle Shipping

Since you, most likely, will be paying for the shipping of your bike, it will be good to plan early. You can, in theory, ride the bike to the base or carry it in your truck.

However, the slightest mistake in doing any of those things might lead to damage to the bike. A better way to get your motorcycle to Malmstrom AFB is to hire a motorcycle shipping company.

While you search for the best shipping company, get your proof of ownership document and a valid military ID ready. You will need them.
