Base to Base PCS Vehicle Transport
Using a military car shipping service is regular for folks making a big move. Whether they are civilians making a job move from Texas to California or an Air Force soldier moving from Dover AFB across the country to Beale or Travis, they need a hand moving their vehicle across the country. It can be even more demanding if they have dependents and another family, with multiple cars and households of personal items!
The distance between bases can be thousands of miles. While the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard may be moving your household goods to your next base, you – and possibly your dependents – must get your POV there yourself. If you’ve got particular belongings that you don’t entrust to the government’s Transportation Service Provider (TSP), you might even have a moving truck to look after. Not everyone trusts the TSP, and let’s face it; you’ll also need some personal goods during the move. Even when you get to the next stop, it can take days for the TSP to get your goods to the right house, and you might need some of that clothing or home goods while you’re still waiting.
Let the professionals do this transport, whether long-distance or just a few states over, will be easier. Transporting your car from one base to another is easy because many families use a car transport service company to move their vehicles when given a PCS.

Diverse Service Options

Open or Enclosed Military Auto Transport Services
Depending on your need, different companies provide different military car shipping services. You can ship your vehicle using open transport or choose an enclosed transport. An open carrier is your best car transport option if you want a low-cost transport option.
But let’s face it; troops love their toys. In some cases, those toys are high-end exotic or high-performance vehicles. Plenty of them enjoy motorcycles, utility vehicles, ATVs, dirt bikes, and even a golf cart here and there! In that case, you might want to transport using an enclosed carrier. An enclosed trailer will ensure your classic car is not damaged by the wind or the moving particles on the road. It is also easier to transport smaller vehicles, thanks to the ability to palletize and tie down smaller vehicles versus the one-size-fits-all loading process of open carriers.

Should I Drive or Ship My Car Across the Country during PCS?
The transit time and costs may prompt you to consider whether it would be better to drive the car across country. It might initially seem cheaper… but there are hidden costs. The average out-of-pocket cost of driving your vehicle depending on the distance is around $500 to $600. When you add in cost for hotel, and food, hiring a professional car shipping company might be a more prudent choice. You could purchase a plane ticket, arrive at your new base within a few hours, and wait for your car to reach your destination.
