Spangdahlem AB Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

Spangdahlem AB is a NATO air force base. The United States Air Force is a tenant. Its construction was completed in 1953.

The base is located near the small German town of Spangdahlem. The base serves the functions of air combat and air mobility. It also has an air education command for the training of officers.

If your PCS points in the direction of this base, know that you have a long journey ahead. The base is in Germany so, there is no option but to ship your POV to it. We will walk you through the process of doing just that.

Shipping to a Base in the OCONUS Area

Spangdahlem AB is in Germany. This is outside the continental United States. This means that you are eligible for government-sponsored shipping of a single POV.

While you are eligible, with improper documentation, you might lose the benefit. Approach your transportation officer with your PCS and get the proper documentation done. Also, ask about specific rules regarding vehicles in the airbase.

You can contact a licensed auto transportation company that has special services for military personnel.

Military Car Shipping

Spangdahlem AB is quite a distance from anywhere in the United States. There will be a lot of moving parts to get your vehicle to the base, but with proper planning, it will be a smooth experience.

Ideally, you shouldn’t pay for the shipping of your POV to the airbase. The reason is that the airbase is outside the continental USA making the government obliged to pay for shipping. Follow up on the process to get that benefit.

The Airbase might have certain rules on the bringing in of vehicles. Ask your transportation officer for details on those rules and ensure your POV isn’t in violation of any. If it is, attempt to get a permit.

You will need certain documents while processing the shipping of your vehicle. They are:

Document shipping form.
Proof of ownership. The vehicle has to be yours
Agreement to export. This will be needed if the vehicle is leased. The owner has to write a permit for it to be exported.
Valid means of identification.

Preparing your car for Shipment

Below are two very important things you need to do before you drop your car off for shipping. They are:

Take pictures of the car from every angle including scratches and dents on the body. This is for insurance purposes in case of damage.
Wash the vehicle thoroughly.

Military Motorcycle Shipping

If you are posted to the airbase, the US government will pay for the shipping of a single-vehicle. If that vehicle is a motorbike, then you will receive benefits of support for shipping.

If you have more than a single bike to ship, know that you will have to pay for the shipping of the second vehicle. In such a case you should make payment arrangements. Most companies, like A-1 Auto Transport, give military discounts to officers.

You will need certain documents in the course of preparing your motorcycle for shipping. They include proof of ownership or agreement with the leasing company, military identification, and proof of government-sponsored shipping.
