    Do Military Members Get Discounts on Car Shipping?

    If you’re an active-duty military member with PCS (Permanent Change of Station) orders, the government may cover the cost of shipping one privately owned vehicle (POV). However, this depends on specific eligibility requirements set by the Department of Defense, so it’s essential to confirm with your transportation office.

    In many cases, military members may still need to cover the cost of military car shipping—especially for additional vehicles or special routes. Contact us to confirm your eligibility and get accurate pricing.

    FAQs for Military Auto Transport Services

    How much does military car shipping cost?

    Military car shipping costs $450-1,800 depending on distance, with AutoStar’s 10% military discount applied.

    Does the military pay for car shipping during PCS?

    The military pays for vehicle shipping only for overseas assignments and shipments to/from Alaska or Hawaii. For standard CONUS-to-CONUS PCS moves, the military does NOT pay.

    How long does it take to ship a car during PCS?

    PCS car shipping typically takes 3-14 days depending on distance. Under 500 miles: 1-3 days. 500-1,500 miles: 3-7 days. 1,500-2,500 miles: 5-10 days. Cross-country: 7-14 days. Book 4-6 weeks before your report date for best availability.

    Is AutoStar Transport Express a good choice for military PCS vehicle shipping?

    Yes. AutoStar has 18 years of military PCS shipping experience and has served 50,000+ service members. We offer PCS-specialized scheduling, zero spam calls, all U.S. base access, and 4.9/5 rating from military customers.

    Do military car transport services cover overseas shipping?

    Most U.S. military car transport services (including AutoStar) cover domestic CONUS shipping and can transport your vehicle to/from departure ports for overseas PCS. Ocean shipping is handled by Military Vehicle Processing Centers or commercial ocean carriers.

    Are there specific auto transporters for active-duty members?

    Yes. AutoStar specializes in military PCS vehicle transport for active-duty members of all branches. We understand PCS timelines, coordinate base access, offer deployment-friendly scheduling, and have served 50,000+ military customers since 2006.

    Does the Navy ship your car for free?

    The Navy covers vehicle shipping only for overseas PCS moves (OCONUS assignments) – one vehicle per service member to/from overseas duty stations. For CONUS-to-CONUS Navy PCS moves, vehicle shipping is not covered and must be arranged privately.

    Can I ship personal items with my military car shipment?

    Yes, you can ship personal items up to 100 pounds in the trunk or cargo area of the vehicle. These items must be packed in one box or suitcase. However, if your vehicle is being shipped to/from Hawaii, personal items cannot be included inside the vehicle. For further details, we recommend contacting a representative.

    What documents are required for a military relocation?

    To ensure a smooth relocation, make sure you have the following documents:

    • Travel Voucher (DD 1351-2) for reimbursement
    • Application for DITY Move and Counseling Checklist (DD 2278)
    • Copy of your PCS Travel Orders
    • Certified weight tickets (gross/full and empty/tare weights)
    • Paid rental agreement for accommodations (if applicable)
    • Vehicle registration (if applicable)
    • Documentation for Common Operating Personal Expenses (OPE)

    Having these organized will streamline your military relocation process.

    Can my vehicle be delivered to a military base if I am not present?

    Yes, we can deliver your vehicle to your military base even if you’re not there. Our team will work with you to ensure the delivery meets your specific needs.

    How long does military car shipping take?

    The time it takes to ship a vehicle varies based on the distance and type of service selected. Generally, shipments within the U.S. can take between 7-14 days, while international shipments or longer distances may take additional time. Our team will provide you with a specific timeframe based on your shipment details.

    Can I ship more than one vehicle during my military move?

    Yes, you can ship more than one vehicle during your military relocation. However, additional fees may apply, especially if you’re shipping more than one privately owned vehicle (POV). Contact us for more details and to confirm eligibility for multiple vehicle shipments.

    How do I prepare my vehicle for military auto transport?

    Preparation includes cleaning the vehicle, removing all personal belongings, ensuring the fuel tank is less than a quarter full, checking for leaks, and disabling alarms.

    Can my military vehicle be shipped if it is inoperable?

    Yes, inoperable military vehicles can be shipped, but additional equipment like winches may be required for loading and unloading, possibly incurring extra fees.

    Do I need to be present during pickup or delivery for military vehicle transport?

    While presence is preferred for inspection and documentation, arrangements can often be made to ship or deliver your vehicle without you present, especially if you’re deployed.

    Can I ship a motorcycle or recreational vehicle (RV) during a military move?

    Yes, military auto transport services often cover motorcycles, RVs, and other recreational vehicles as part of your personal property shipment.

    How early should I book my military auto transport for a PCS move?

    It’s best to book your vehicle transport as soon as your PCS orders are received to secure carrier availability and preferred shipping dates.
