MCAS New River Car Shipping

MCAS New River Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station) New River is a helicopter and tilt-rotor airbase located in Jacksonville which is the eastern part of the state of North Carolina.

The base was named McCutcheon Field in 1972 after General Keith B. McCutcheon who is one of the founding fathers of the Marine Corps helicopter aviation. The base started as 29 parcels of land bought for $64,500 in 1941. It used to be a tobacco plantation before then.

Being posted to the base might seem exciting but you might also be asking yourself how you plan on getting your vehicle to the base and report in time. There is no need to worry, A-1 Auto Transport offers personal vehicle shipping services.

Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area

MCAS New River is located in Jacksonville, North Carolina meaning that it is on US soil. The implication is that the government won’t be sponsoring the shipping of any POVs to the air station.

However, a few officers will be exempted from this established rule. This is because of the unique situations they might be in. Contact your transportation officer to know if you are among those to be exempted from paying for your shipping.

You have already begun the next step which is searching for the right auto shipping company to handle your move.

Full List of Military Shipping Services We Offer

Military Car Shipping

You might be considering driving your vehicle to the air station since there is no military sponsorship for shipping your car. While it will be a good idea if you currently live a few miles away, it won’t be such a great idea if you are over 200 miles away.

The best thing to do instead is to hire a company that specializes in shipping vehicles owned by military personnel to bases. This way you get the convenience of taking a plane while your car is brought to you.

Before, you sign any shipping documents, however, ensure your vehicle meets the rules of POVs set by the destination base which is in this case, MCAS New River.

There are documents that you will need as you process your shipping and they include:

• Proof of ownership
• Government-issued ID
• PCS
• Permit to ship a leased vehicle

Preparing your car for Shipment

To get your vehicle ready, you should:

• Wash the car properly with a detergent that is compatible with your paint.
• Go through the vehicle and remove any personal documents or effects like jewelry.

Military Motorcycle Shipping

MCAS New River is in the CONUS area meaning that the military won’t be bearing the cost of shipping your bike. Some officers ride their bikes to their new postings but you might report late if you live very far.

The better option will be to hire a company to ship your motorbike for you. The cost of shipping a bike is less than shipping a car and companies like A-1 Auto Transport have special lower shipping rates for military personnel.

To ship your motorcycle, you will need to prepare some documents like the proof of ownership, military identification, and permit to ship if the bike is leased.

Preparing your motorcycle for Shipment

There are a couple of things that you need to do to get your motorbike ready for shipping and they include:
