Stavanger Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport
Stavanger Air Base is located on the southwest coast of Norway. It is situated just outside of Stavanger. It is NATO's operational training focal point.
If your PCS points you in the direction of this city and you intend to travel by car, it may appear difficult to figure out how to get there, but we can help. Let us explain how.
Shipping to OCONUS Base Area
Stavanger is in Norway, so it is not in the United States. This implies that if you are assigned to Stavanger, the US government will pay for the transportation of one of your vehicles.
However, the specifics of that sponsorship, as well as when it will arrive, might be inconvenient for you as an officer. Follow up with your transportation officer to ensure you're getting the help you need from the government.
Third-party shipping companies are very efficient and will assist you in developing the best shipping strategy. Contact an auto transport company as soon as possible.
Some of Military POV We Ship to Bases
Despite being on the other side of the world, we can still ship a variety of vehicles and items to Stavanger. They include:
- SUVs
- Cars
- Household items
- Motorcycles
Shipping a Car to a Military base
Driving to Norway is out of the question. When you arrive, you might be tempted to buy a car there. However, because the government will pay for shipping one vehicle, you won't have to make such a choice.
Check that you are eligible for the sponsorship and that you have all of the necessary documentation. You will still need to plan for your vehicle's transportation by contacting a third-party shipping company.
Inquire with your transportation officer if there are any vehicle rules in Stavanger. It would be pointless to bring a vehicle that you will not be able to use.
There are, of course, documents that you will be required to submit at various stages of the process:
- Proof of ownership of the vehicle to be shipped
- PCS for military identification
- Forms for Vehicle Export
- Agreement with the owner of the leased vehicle to export it to Canberra
Get Your Car Ready for Shipment
Preparing your car for shipping is not difficult, but it is critical.
- Remove or disconnect the car battery. This will reduce the rate of discharge as the car is transported.
- Wash the car thoroughly with detergent and rinse with clean water.
Motorcycle Shipping to a Military Base
The government will sponsor your only point of view if you intend to ship a motorcycle to Stavanger. You are eligible for such assistance. Visit your transportation officer to learn more about the rules for motorbikes in your new station.
If you want to ship a motorcycle as a second vehicle, keep in mind that the government will only pay for one of them, not both. It would be preferable if you put the car on the benefit while you pay for the bike because shipping a bike is less expensive than shipping a car.
You will need to show proof that you own the bike or that you have permission from the owner to bring it to Norway. So, make sure your documentation is complete.
How to Prepare Your Motorcycle for Shipping
You can get your motorcycle ready for shipping by doing the following:
- Wash and dry the motorcycle with a clean cloth.
- Drain all fluids from the motorcycle.
