    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions for Military Auto Transport


    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.
