Shipping vehicles to CONUS Bases
Arranging for your shipping is easier when you have a clear picture of what is involved. Hence, you understand the necessity of choosing the proper auto transporter to assist you. In addition, your shipping expenses may be catered for by the government because you are a member of the military. Nevertheless, checking your transport office for eligibility information is the ideal thing to do. It is also ideal to start making arrangements for shipping your privately owned vehicle and other items.

Shipping a Car
Losses incurred on personal shipping are not covered by the government or insurance. So it is wise to engage a professional auto transport agency like A-1 Auto Transport. However, kindly be informed that you will provide certain documents to ensure the transparency of the transaction.
- A Permanent Change of Station Order. It will serve as proof to claim.
- A Government-issued Military Identification Card. It will ensure that you are known as military personnel.
- Proof of ownership for the vehicle to be transported (i.e. your vehicle registration).
- A permit from your lease agency (strictly for an automobile that is on lease).
Getting Your Car Ready
A vehicle that does not qualify for road use or meet the standards of safety regulations can not be shipped. So you should take the following steps to prepare your vehicle:
- Obtain the services of a mechanic to inspect the vehicle for flaws.
- Wash the outside of your automobile and vacuum the inside thoroughly.
- Check your vehicle's tires for tire pressure and leaks.
- Check your vehicle for damage and make a note of it.
- Check for cracks in the taillights, windscreen, and so forth.
- To avoid an electrical problem, disconnect the battery.
- Remove all automotive ornaments and accessories from the vehicle.
- Remove any loose items from the car.
Shipping a Motorcycle
Similar rules apply between car shipping and military motorcycle shipping. It is important to note that government financial cover is only applicable to one vehicle. Thus, you can only ship an additional motorcycle when you pay for the extra cargo.
Getting your Motorcycle ready
Military motorcycle shipping is also guided by safety regulations. Hence, a motorcycle can only be shipped when it is deemed fit by the auto agency.
- Check your fuel tank and reduce the amount to less than 14 percent of the tank.
- Check the motorcycle for leaks and empty the fluids.
- Wash and clean the motorcycle thoroughly, then turn off the GPS, alarm system, and remove the battery.
- Remove any loose goods or decorations from the vehicle.
- Restore any leaking locations on the car.
- Keep an eye out for slow punctures in the tires.
- Check the tire pressure to ensure that it is normal.
