Shipping to a CONUS Base
The fact that the military did not purchase your vehicle does not mean it is prohibited from a PCS benefit. You can be denied a shipping benefit on your PCS order but it will not be because your car is privately-owned. Hence, you should contact your local transportation office to arrange your logistics with us. We ship household goods, containers, privately owned vehicles, and motorcycles.
