Military Car Shipping
When shipping a motor vehicle to the Beaufort base there are several factors to take into consideration. First of all, it is important to fully fill in the necessary forms prior to your move, as your move will not be processed without adequate documentation.
Preparing your car for Shipment
Prior to your move, you will need to do the following:
- Remove all personal items from inside the vehicle and disable the alarm
- Ensure that the car is cleaned inside and out by either you or at the car cleaners
- Ensure that you empty the gas tank so that it doesn't leak during transportation
- Ensure that you document all damage such as dents on the car well to avoid disputes in the event of a damage claim.
- The vehicle must be registered or leased by an active member of military staff or military dependant
- The vehicle must also be road-worthy, functional, and legal to travel on public highways and have at least 4 wheels with the exception of a motorcycle.
Military Motorcycle Shipping
Undertaking a motorcycle shipping expedition as an individual is almost impossible when you have a long-distance to cover, not to mention the total toll it would have on your body, added costs of gas, wear and tear, and lodging along the way. This may leave the overall bill skyrocketing as compared to just hiring a reliable moving service.
Preparing your motorcycle for Shipment
Preparation for shipping a motorcycle is nearly similar to that of a car
- Draining fluids like gas or coolant is important as it prevents leaving during transportation
- Ensure you have all the appropriate, necessary documentation.
