Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

Virginia is home to the Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. The station is located in York County, James City County, and Newport News.

In the past, the station used to provide weapons and ammunition storage as well as loading facilities for ships that were part of the United States Navy Atlantic Fleet. These days, the station is used to provide such service as well as logistics and other support for the Fleet Forces Command.

Moving a vehicle to this station is pretty straightforward for an officer that knows it. However, not everyone has shipped a vehicle before. That is why we at A-1 Auto Transport are giving this guide to help smoothen out the process.

Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area

The NWS is in the Virginia, United States. So, the government might most likely not pay for the shipping of vehicles owned by officers posted to the station. The military only pays for postings outside the Continental United States.

There are, of course, exceptions that a few officers might be beneficiaries of. It is best to take your PCS and discuss your eligibility for such an exception with your transportation officer.

You can also contact vehicle shipping companies as early as possible to have an idea of what it will cost to ship the vehicle yourself and what you can do to make it smooth.

Military Car Shipping

Unless you live near the station, driving there might be a chore. You can give yourself more convenience by hiring a third-party auto shipping company to move your vehicle to the station for you. This way you will arrive on time.

Getting all the details of what is required to ship your vehicle to the station is important. You shouldn’t settle for the cheapest quote you find. Ensure the services you are getting meet your requirements.

Naval Weapons Station Yorktown might have specific rules concerning specific vehicles or modifications on vehicles. Check with your transportation officer and be sure your vehicle isn’t violating any rules.

While working out the details of shipping a car to the base, certain documents will be needed from you. They include:

Proof that you or an immediate family member owns the vehicle you are shipping
A government-issued means of identification
Permit to ship a car that has been leased. This permit must come from the owner of the vehicle.

Preparing your car for Shipment

Preparing a car for shipping is vital for safety and transparency reasons.

Go through the vehicle, preferably with a camera, and take pictures of every part of the car.
Check the windshield for cracks and discuss fixing them with your mechanic.

Military Motorcycle Shipping

The station you are posted to is in Virginia which is on US soil. You will have to figure out a way to move your motorbike to the station. Riding it to the station is an option but unless you are already close to the station this isn’t a viable option.

If there is more than one vehicle to transport, inform the shipping company. There are usually discounts for this sort of thing. There is also a military discount that you can take advantage of.

You will need to prove that you own the bike or that the owner permits you to ship it to the station.
