Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area – ONLY IF BASE IS INSIDE THE STATES

After receiving your order to move, you must keep in mind that if you are relocating to a base within the United States, you will have to fund the shipping of your vehicle yourself.

It is only locations outside the US (OCONUS) that the government funds.

There are a few exceptions though, only a selected group of officers are beneficiaries. To know whether or not you fall into this category, contact your transportation officer.

And just in case, start looking out for shipping companies around you. Decide which one you will likely be using for your shipping and make a reservation.

Military Car Shipping

When you receive a PCS order, you want to make a great first impression by arriving at your new base early enough. As such, you should attempt to tidy up all necessary activities long before the due date. One of such activities is the shipping of your car.

Choosing to drive down to your base might take more time than you anticipated, keep in mind that you will also be moving with your family.

You should instead outsource your car shipping to a tested and trusted shipping company. Make sure to check online for reviews and feedback from past clients. This will protect you from falling into the wrong hands.

Keep in mind that the new base might have laws regarding vehicles you might find strange. Therefore, you should contact your transportation officer to know if there is any specific information you can find out before the move.

While planning your move, make sure you do the following:

Check that your Government Identification is intact
Check that you have the permit to ship the car
Any form of identification to show the car belongs to you or someone you know.

Military Motorcycle Shipping

If you have a motorcycle, chances are you will want to ship it to your new base. Before you begin the shipping procedure, ask your transportation officer if motorcycles are allowed in the base, and the rules surrounding having one.

Then proceed to make inquiries about the shipping of both a car and a motorcycle. Shipping multiple items will cost you more, so you should look out for a shipping company that gives discounts on multiple vehicle shipping.

A1 Auto Transport is one such shipping company, we offer you a reduced price when you ship more than one vehicle at a time.

Always keep your means of identification close as you will be asked to show proof of ownership and your military ID card.
