Naval Support Activity Saratoga Auto Springs Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport
Naval Support Activity (NSA) Saratoga Springs is a Navy base that is located in Saratoga County in Upstate New York, United States.
The Naval Support Activity Saratoga Springs owes its origin to the establishment of the Naval Administrative Unit Scotia, New York in 1974. It was established to support the Navy's nuclear operations. Now, it primarily serves as the Naval nuclear training ground for students and staff.
There might be a little bit of anxiety on your part if you have been posted to this base. The anxiety might have to do with knowing how to get your vehicle to the location. Well, A-1 Auto Transport ships vehicles to NSA Saratoga Springs.
Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area
Naval Support Activity Saratoga Springs is located in New York, United States. This is the continental USA meaning the government won’t be sponsoring the shipping of POVs to the base for most of the officers posted there.
Note, that a few will still get sponsorship because of their unique positions and situations. If this is your last posting before retirement, you might get sponsorship. Discuss the terms and conditions for such a situation with your transportation officer.
A part of getting ready for the move is figuring out which shipping company is best for you.
Full List of Military Shipping Services We Offer
We ship different vehicles to NSA Saratoga Springs and they include:
- Motorbikes
- Mopeds
- SUVs
Military Car Shipping
Because there is hardly any form of sponsorship for military officers posted to bases on US soil, some officers attempt to drive their cars to the base. While this might reduce cost, it might cost you your punctuality. Arriving late would be a bad thing.
So, a better, safer thing to do is to hire a third-party auto shipping company that will help you get your vehicle to the base while you enter a plane.
NSA Saratoga Springs has rules surrounding the kinds of vehicles officers can bring into the base. It would be best to know the rules before arranging for shipping.
There are documents you will need for processing your shipping and they include:
- Military identification
- Proof that you or your family member owns the vehicle being shipped
- PCS
- Permit to ship a leased vehicle issued by the owner of the vehicle.
Preparing your car for Shipment
Getting your car for shipping is vital to a successful shipping process. To do so:
- Inspect the windscreen and windows for cracks. A weakened glass structure can break during shipping
- Update the registration documents of the car and have them handy.
Military Motorcycle Shipping
Since you know that the government won’t be paying for the shipping of your vehicle, you should make arrangements for taking your motorbike to the base.
Occasionally, officers need more than a single vehicle on base. In such a case, they will have to arrange for the shipping of both vehicles. The good thing is that many shipping companies (A-1 Auto Transport included) provide discounts for multiple vehicle shipping.
There are also documents that you will have to make copies of as you will be submitting them throughout the process. They include proof of ownership of the bike and a valid military ID.
Preparing your motorcycle for Shipment
Getting a bike ready for shipping is important and also easy to do. All you have to do is:
- Remove the mirrors, if possible, to reduce the chances of cracking during shipping.
- Update the registration documents of the bike.
