Military Car Shipping Explained: A Stress-Free Solution for Military Personnel

What Is Military Car Shipping?

Military car shipping, often referred to as military auto transport, is a specialized service tailored for active-duty military members, veterans, and retired personnel who need to move their vehicles due to military orders or personal relocation. Whether you're preparing for a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), deployment, or a personal move, military car shipping offers a convenient and reliable solution to ensure your vehicle arrives safely at its destination.

Our Commitment to Military Personnel

We understand the unique challenges military families face when relocating, and our dedicated team has extensive experience in military car shipping. We’re here to streamline the process, handling all the logistics so you can focus on your next mission or move. We offer door-to-door auto shipping services, meaning your vehicle will be picked up and delivered as close as possible to your home or base, whether you’re in the U.S. or stationed overseas.

Military Discounts and Reimbursement Options

If you're currently serving in the military, you may qualify for discounts on your car shipping costs. Many auto transport companies, including ours, offer special pricing for military members as a way of showing appreciation for your service. Additionally, active-duty members who receive PCS orders may be eligible for government reimbursement of shipping expenses for one personal operating vehicle (POV). This means that in many cases, you won't have to pay out of pocket for shipping your primary vehicle.

For members who need to ship multiple vehicles, the government typically covers the cost of one POV, but any additional cars will require you to cover the extra expenses. We offer competitive pricing to help ease the financial burden, and our online quote calculator can provide a quick and transparent estimate for shipping additional vehicles.

How Military Car Shipping Works

The process of military car shipping is similar to standard auto transport, but with a few added considerations specific to military personnel:

  1. PCS Orders: When you receive PCS orders, the government will typically handle the shipping of one vehicle, but if you have more than one, you’ll need to book transport for the extra cars separately. We can assist with both government-covered and personal car shipping, ensuring all your vehicles arrive safely.

  2. Vehicle Preparation: Before shipping, you’ll need to prepare your car by removing personal belongings and securing any loose parts. We can provide a checklist to ensure your car is ready for transport.

  3. Door-to-Door Service: Our team will pick up your car from your current location, whether that’s a base or home, and transport it directly to your new location or a nearby port. For military personnel stationed overseas, we coordinate port-to-port shipping and handle the necessary documentation for international transport.

  4. Shipment Tracking: Once your vehicle is en route, you can monitor its progress with our shipment tracking system. We understand the importance of staying informed, especially for military families, so you’ll have access to updates throughout the journey.

  5. Delivery Timeframes: Shipping times vary depending on the distance, delivery location, and transport method. We offer both standard and expedited shipping options, allowing you to choose a delivery timeframe that best suits your needs.

Factors Affecting Military Car Shipping Costs

Several factors influence the cost of military car shipping, and we strive to provide transparent and competitive rates. Some of the key considerations include:

  • Vehicle Size and Type: Larger vehicles such as trucks, SUVs, or specialty cars may cost more to ship due to their size and weight.
  • Distance: The longer the distance, the higher the cost, whether you’re shipping across the country or internationally.
  • Delivery Timeframe: Expedited shipping options typically come at a premium, but they can be essential for tight relocation deadlines.
  • Auto Transport Type: Enclosed transport provides additional protection for your vehicle but is more expensive than open transport.
  • Condition of Vehicle: If your vehicle is inoperable or requires special handling, this could add to the overall cost of shipping.
