Trusted Military Vehicle Shipping
We understand the unique needs of a military move. For over 15 years, we have provided seamless and reliable vehicle transport for service members, veterans, and their families. Whether it’s for your PCS or another move, we specialize in shipping your privately-owned vehicle (POV) with the highest level of care.
Base to Base PCS Vehicle Transport
Moving your private vehicle (POV) during a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) can be demanding. While your household goods are handled by the military’s Transportation Service Provider (TSP), you are responsible for getting your car to the new base.
The distance between bases can be thousands of miles, adding stress to the move, especially for families with multiple vehicles. We offer a trusted service to handle the transport of your car from one base to another. Our experienced team manages all the logistics, allowing you to focus on your family and your move.
PCS Orders & Military Discounts
We know that receiving a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) order can be stressful. We are committed to making your vehicle move as easy as possible and offer an exclusive military discount on all transport services.
Here is why you can trust us with your vehicle:
Experience: We have over 15 years of experience moving vehicles for military members and their families.
Trust: We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and top ratings on Google, Yelp, and Transport Reviews.
Nationwide Service: We have reliable carriers ready to move your car to and from any base, including San Diego, Camp Lejeune, Parris Island, and Annapolis.
How Long Does It Take To Transport a Military Vehicle for PCS?
We know that a reliable timeline is critical for a PCS move. We handle all the logistics to ensure your vehicle is picked up and delivered as quickly as possible.
Your vehicle is typically picked up within 24–72 hours of your requested date. From there, here are the estimated delivery times:
Under 1,000 miles: 2–3 days
1,000 to 1,750 miles: 4–6 days
1,750 to 2,500 miles: 7–10 days
We will provide you with a specific delivery window once your order is confirmed.
Why Choose Our Military Transport Service?
Proven Reliability
Customer Satisfaction
Our customer-centric approach ensures your satisfaction with transparent communication, dedicated support, and regular updates throughout the shipping process.
Diverse Service Options
Choose from a wide range of services, including open and enclosed carriers, expedited shipping, and custom solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Open vs. Enclosed Military Transport
Choosing between open and enclosed transport depends on your budget and your vehicle.
Open Car Transport
Open transport is the most common and affordable way to ship a vehicle. Your car is placed on an open-air carrier, providing a reliable option for all standard vehicles. This method is the perfect choice if you are looking for the lowest cost transport.
Enclosed Car Transport
Enclosed transport provides the highest level of security. It protects your vehicle from all weather and road debris. This option is often used for high-end, exotic, or classic vehicles. It is also the preferred choice for specialty vehicles like motorcycles, ATVs, and other “toys.”
Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) Car Shipping Services
A Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) is a specialized hub for military members shipping a vehicle to or from the continental United States. We provide reliable VPC car shipping services to all centers nationwide, handling the unique regulations and procedures required for your international move.
We serve all U.S. VPC locations, including:
California: Santee, Gardena
Alaska: Anchorage, Fairbanks
South Carolina: North Charleston
Georgia: Atlanta
Maryland: Odenton
Florida: Orlando
Texas: Grand Prairie
Washington: Algona
Virginia: Chesapeake
Missouri: Bridgeton
Colorado: Aurora
No matter which VPC you’re shipping to or from, Number 1 Auto Transport has the expertise to handle all the logistics.
Should I Drive or Ship My Car During a PCS?
Driving your vehicle yourself may seem like a good option, but there are many hidden costs to consider. When planning a PCS, shipping your car is often the smarter choice.
Driving your vehicle includes costs for:
Fuel
Food and lodging
Unexpected maintenance
Wear and tear on your car
By choosing Number 1 Auto Transport, you can fly to your new base in a matter of hours, saving you time and stress. Your vehicle will be delivered safely and reliably, allowing you to focus on your move.
