Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area
If you have been assigned to a base in the continental United States (CONUS), the government will not pay for the shipment of your privately owned vehicle (POV). Not only will you have to figure out the best way to ship your vehicle, but you will also have to handle the payment yourself.
However, there are special or unusual circumstances in which you may be eligible for government sponsorship; therefore, it is critical to contact your transportation office counselor to confirm your eligibility.
Once you've confirmed the necessary details for your permanent change of station (PCS), contact a shipping company to get an estimated shipping quote and make proper arrangements to have your vehicle shipped.

Military Car Shipping
While driving to your new base is an option, the difficulty arises when you are required to report to your permanent duty station (PDS) much earlier than it would take you to drive down to the base. Hiring a third-party auto shipping company that specializes in military vehicle shipments is the best way to handle a situation like this.
However, before you even begin looking for a shipping company, you should take orders to meet with your transportation office (TO) counselor to try to plan your shipping needs as soon as possible and to see if you qualify for any kind of entitlement.
Furthermore, different bases have different rules regarding car shipping into the base; confirm that your car complies with the NAS JRB's rules and regulations by speaking with your TO counselor.
Certain documents will be required of you while preparing a car for shipment. As an example:
- Identification that is validly issued by the government
- A legible photocopy of the vehicle's registration. The vehicle must be registered in the service member's name.
- Official orders and amendments are in duplicate.
Preparing your car for Shipment
There are a few things that are recommended that you do to your car before submitting it for shipping. They include:
- Change old tires, batteries, oil, and carry out general car maintenance before shipping
- Clean the outside and inside of your car a day or so before shipping
Military Motorcycle Shipping
Because the NAS JRB is on US soil, the government will not pay for your motorcycle's transportation to the base; you must make your arrangements. You can discuss the rules and regulations governing motorcycle shipping in NAS JRB with your transportation office counselors.
If you are shipping more than two vehicles, A-1 Auto Transport offers a discount package for active military officers in this situation.
As with car shipping, you must provide proof of ownership for the motorcycle as well as a valid government-issued ID.
