To receive the military rate, mention your military status when requesting a quote. The discount applies to PCS moves, deployment vehicle shipments, TDY vehicle transport, and all other military-related auto transport scenarios. Discount amounts vary by route and carrier but are applied on top of standard market pricing. Call (888) 508-2175 and identify your military status to confirm your rate."},{q:"Can veterans get military car shipping rates?",a:"Yes — EZ Auto Movers extends military-discounted rates to veterans, not just active-duty members. Whether you're a recently separated veteran relocating for work or school, a retired service member moving in retirement, or a veteran needing vehicle transport for any reason, mention your veteran status when requesting a quote. Veterans do not need to provide DD-214 documentation to receive a quote — verbal confirmation of veteran status is sufficient for pricing purposes."},{q:"Can National Guard and Reserve members get military rates?",a:"Yes — EZ Auto Movers extends military-discounted rates to National Guard and Reserve members, particularly for vehicle transport related to activation orders, training relocations, and extended duty assignments. Mention your Guard or Reserve status when requesting a quote. Not all Guard/Reserve transport scenarios carry the same zero-deposit policy as active-duty PCS moves, but military pricing applies."},{q:"Is PCS car shipping reimbursable by the military?",a:"In many cases, yes — the military offers relocation allowances that can be used toward vehicle transport costs as part of PCS entitlements. The specifics depend on rank, orders type, and whether the member is doing a government-managed move or a personally-procured move (DITY/PPM). EZ Auto Movers provides detailed invoices and documentation suitable for reimbursement claims through your unit's transportation office. Consult your installation's Personal Property Office (PPO) or Transportation Management Office (TMO) for specifics on what's reimbursable under your orders."},{q:"Does EZ Auto Movers work with DITY or PPM moves?",a:"EZ Auto Movers is a car shipping broker, not a household goods mover — we handle vehicle transport specifically, not furniture or personal property. For DITY/PPM (Do-It-Yourself / Personally Procured Move) scenarios involving vehicle shipping, many military members ship their car through EZ Auto Movers rather than driving it, and use the DITY allowance toward the vehicle shipping cost as well as other relocation expenses. Check with your TMO for guidance on which vehicle transport costs qualify for DITY/PPM reimbursement."}]},{id:"pcs-scheduling",label:"PCS Scheduling",faqs:[{q:"What is PCS car shipping?",a:"PCS stands for Permanent Change of Station — the military term for a reassignment to a new base or installation. PCS moves are one of the most common reasons military members ship vehicles because the distances involved (often hu

1ndreds or thousands of miles) make driving impractical or impossible given report-date timelines. PCS car shipping involves coordinating pickup at your current duty station (or residence near it), matching a carrier, and delivering the vehicle to your new duty station or a nearby address. EZ Auto Movers has facilitated PCS shipments to and from bases across all 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii."},{q:"How far in advance should I book military car shipping?",a:"Book as early as possible after receiving orders — ideally 2–4 weeks before your target pickup date. PCS season (May through August) is the peak period for military moves nationally, and carrier availability becomes tighter as the summer progresses. During peak PCS season, 2 weeks advance notice is the absolute minimum for standard dispatch; 3–4 weeks is comfortable. Off-peak PCS moves (fall, winter, early spring) can often be arranged with 1–2 weeks lead time. If orders arrive on short notice, call (888) 508-2175 directly — expedited dispatch is available and can often secure a carrier within 24–72 hours for urgent PCS situations, though an expedited premium applies."},{q:"When is PCS season and how does it affect shipping?",a:"PCS season runs roughly from late May through August, coinciding with the end of the school year when military families time their moves to minimize school disruptions. During this period, auto transport demand from military members spikes nationally — particularly along routes connecting major military installation corridors (Southeast, Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Mid-Atlantic). Carrier availability for military routes tightens and prices increase during PCS season. Book 3–4 weeks in advance for summer PCS moves rather than the standard 2 weeks. If your orders give you flexibility on the move date, late August or September moves face lower demand and better pricing."},{q:"How long does military car shipping take?",a:"Military car shipping follows standard auto transport timelines: regional routes under 700 miles take 1–3 days transit; mid-distance routes (700–1,500 miles) take 3–6 days; cross-country routes take 6–10 days. Add 1–5 business days for carrier dispatch (longer during peak PCS season May–August). Total time from booking to delivery: plan 1–2 weeks for regional moves, 2–3 weeks for cross-country during PCS season. Expedited dispatch can compress the booking-to-pickup window significantly for urgent situations."},{q:"What if my PCS orders or date changes?",a:"Order changes are a reality of military life, and EZ Auto Movers accommodates them. If your PCS date changes, contact your coordinator as soon as you receive updated orders — we adjust the pickup window accordingly. If your destination changes, we update the delivery address and confirm any pricing adjustment for the new route. Last-minute order changes (within 48 hours of scheduled pickup) may not always be avoidable with the carrier that was already assigned, but your coordinator will make every effort to reschedule without additional charges. The more lead time you give us on a change, the smoother the adjustment."},{q:"Can I ship more than one vehicle during a PCS?",a:"Yes — multiple vehicle shipments on the same PCS move are common. Many military families own two vehicles and need both shipped to the new duty station. EZ Auto Movers coordinates multi-vehicle PCS transport, and when routing and timing allow, both vehicles can travel on the same carrier (reducing coordination complexity). Multi-vehicle moves are quoted and managed together. Military discounts apply to all vehicles on the same PCS move."},{q:"Can I get an instant quote for military car shipping?",a:"Yes — use the online quote form or call (888) 508-2175. Have ready: your origin and destination zip codes or city/installation names; your vehicle year, make, and model; your preferred pickup window; and your military status (active duty, veteran, dependent, Guard/Reserve). Mentioning military status on your quote request ensures the military rate is applied from the start. For urgent PCS situations, call directly — phone quotes for military moves are handled with priority."}]},{id:"base-delivery",label:"Base Pickup & Delivery",faqs:[{q:"Can you pick up or deliver near a military base?",a:"Yes — pickup and delivery near military installations is a core part of military car shipping. Drivers coordinate pickup from your on-base residence, nearby off-base address, or any convenient meeting point near the installation. For delivery to a new duty station, the carrier delivers to your on-base housing address, off-base residence, or nearby agreed meeting point. Because large carriers may not be able to enter certain restricted-access installations, pickup and delivery is often arranged at a gate-adjacent or off-base location — this is normal and expected."},{q:"Can carriers enter military bases?",a:"Carrier access to military installations varies by base and by the carrier's vehicle (commercial tractor-trailers cannot enter many installations without a visitor escort or pre-approval). In practice, military car shipping pickup and delivery often takes place at or near the main gate, at a nearby parking area (large retailers, hotels, or base commercial areas near the gate), or at the service member's off-base residence. The carrier and customer coordinate the specific meeting point based on the carrier's equipment and the installation's access rules. Your coordinator at EZ Auto Movers will discuss base access logistics when arranging the shipment."},{q:"Can I have my car delivered to temporary lodging on base?",a:"Yes — delivery to Temporary Lodging Facilities (TLF), Temporary Housing Units (THU), or any on-base or off-base temporary address is possible. Because temporary housing is, by definition, temporary, confirm the specific address and delivery window with your coordinator once your TLF assignment is confirmed. The carrier coordinates delivery directly with you and will contact you in advance of the delivery window to confirm the exact address and timing."},{q:"What is base-to-base car shipping?",a:"Base-to-base car shipping is vehicle transport from one military installation to another — the most direct form of PCS vehicle shipping. For example, shipping from Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) in North Carolina to Fort C

1avazos (formerly Fort Hood) in Texas, or from Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia to Naval Base San Diego, California. Base-to-base routes are among the most common military vehicle transport corridors in the country. Pickup is near the origin installation; delivery is near the destination installation. Military-discounted rates apply."},{q:"What if I'm stationed at a remote or small base with limited carrier access?",a:"Remote installations (such as those in rural areas or small states with fewer military installations) may have longer carrier matching windows and potentially slightly higher pricing due to limited carrier presence. Pickup and delivery may need to occur in a nearby town rather than at the installation itself. For very remote installations (certain Alaska posts, Pacific bases), additional coordination is needed. Call (888) 508-2175 to discuss the specific installation — your coordinator can confirm current carrier access and estimate realistic dispatch timelines."}]},{id:"deployment",label:"Deployment & Special Assignments",faqs:[{q:"Can active-duty military members ship a vehicle?",a:"Yes — active-duty military members are the primary users of military car shipping services. Whether you're on a PCS move, deploying, returning from deployment, or on TDY, active-duty members can ship vehicles domestically in all 50 states through EZ Auto Movers. Verified active-duty members qualify for the zero-deposit policy — you don't pay until your vehicle is delivered. Military-discounted rates apply. A designated representative (spouse, family member, or POA-authorized individual) can handle pickup and delivery on your behalf if you're unavailable."},{q:"What is TDY vehicle transport?",a:"TDY (Temporary Duty) assignments move a service member to a temporary location for a defined period — weeks or months — before returning to their permanent duty station. For TDY assignments long enough to warrant having a vehicle at the temporary location (typically 90+ days), shipping the vehicle there and back can be more practical than renting. TDY vehicle transport follows the same process as PCS shipping but involves a round-trip plan — ship the vehicle to the TDY location and arrange return shipping when the TDY ends. Military-discounted rates apply to TDY transport."},{q:"What is a deployment vehicle shipment?",a:"When a service member deploys overseas, the vehicle often cannot simply sit at the current duty station indefinitely — especially if base housing must be vacated. Deployment vehicle shipping moves the service member's car to a family member's address, a storage location near family, or any chosen domestic destination during the deployment. Return shipping is arranged when the service member returns. Deployment vehicle shipments are coordinated with the service member's spouse or designated family member as the point of contact. Military-discounted rates apply."},{q:"Can someone else handle pickup or delivery if I'm deployed or unavailable?",a:"Yes — this is one of the most important features of military car shipping. A designated representative — your spouse, parent, adult family member, roommate, or any adult you authorize — can sign the Bill of Lading and release the vehicle at pickup. At delivery, any adult you designate can receive and inspect the vehicle and sign the delivery BOL. For deployments where you will be unavailable for an extended period, a Power of Attorney (POA) document is helpful but not always required — a verbal designation to EZ Auto Movers of who will handle the transaction is often sufficient for domestic transport."},{q:"Can a civilian family member ship a vehicle without the service member present?",a:"Yes — this is very common for military family moves. A spouse, parent, or any adult family member can arrange, coordinate, and execute the vehicle shipment entirely on their own. They handle all contact with EZ Auto Movers, coordinate the pickup window, sign the Bill of Lading at pickup, and receive the vehicle at delivery. The service member's name can be on the booking but the actual logistics are managed by the family representative. Military pricing still applies as long as the service member's status is confirmed when requesting the quote."}]},{id:"preparation",label:"Vehicle Preparation & Documents",faqs:[{q:"What documents do I need for military car shipping?",a:"For standard military car shipping, you need: (1) A valid photo ID (military ID, driver's license, or passport). (2) Vehicle keys. (3) Proof of insurance for the vehicle. (4) Your PCS orders if requesting the military discount and zero-deposit policy (verbal confirmation of orders is often sufficient for basic booking). A POA document for a representative acting on your behalf is helpful but not always required for domestic transport — coordinate with your EZ Auto Movers representative on what's needed for your specific situation."},{q:"Can I leave personal items in my vehicle during military shipping?",a:"A small amount of personal property may technically remain in the vehicle but is strongly discouraged. Carrier cargo insurance covers the vehicle, not personal items inside. Military uniforms, gear, and equipment should not be left in the vehicle during transport — these items are not covered by carrier insurance and cannot be tracked or c

1ontrolled during transit. Remove all personal items from the vehicle before pickup, especially any military equipment, weapons-related gear, sensitive documents, or electronics."},{q:"What should I do to prepare my car for military shipping?",a:"Preparation checklist for military car shipping: (1) Remove all personal items, gear, and uniforms. (2) Photograph every panel and all pre-existing condition before pickup. (3) Disable any toll transponders (E-ZPass, SunPass, etc.) to prevent accidental charges during transit. (4) Reduce fuel to approximately 1/4 tank. (5) Ensure the vehicle starts and drives normally — notify your coordinator if it's non-running. (6) Check tire pressure. (7) Disable any alarms. (8) Confirm that your designated pickup contact is available and has valid ID. (9) Have the vehicle registration available."},{q:"Can I ship my car before I receive my final housing assignment?",a:"Yes — you can ship your vehicle before your on-base housing assignment is confirmed. Simply provide a general destination area (the city near the new duty station, for example) when booking, and update the specific delivery address with your coordinator as soon as it's confirmed. Many service members ship to a temporary address (TLF on base, a hotel near the installation, or a family member's address near the duty station) and update the destination when permanent housing is assigned. The carrier coordinates the specific delivery address with you directly before delivery."},{q:"What is a POA and can I use one for car shipping?",a:"A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document authorizing another person to act on your behalf. For military car shipping, a POA allows a designated representative (typically your spouse) to sign the Bill of Lading, release the vehicle at pickup, and receive and sign at delivery — all without you being present. POAs are particularly useful for deployments and PCS moves where the service member cannot be present. A full military POA (not just limited) covers vehicle transaction authority. However, for domestic auto transport, many situations can be handled with a simple verbal authorization to EZ Auto Movers of who your representative is, rather than requiring a formal POA document."}]},{id:"transport-options",label:"Transport Options",faqs:[{q:"Is open transport safe for military moves?",a:"Yes — open transport is the standard transport type for military car shipping and is appropriate for the vast majority of military move scenarios. Standard military vehicles — everyday cars, SUVs, trucks, and minivans used as family transportation — are safely transported on open carriers with proper wheel-based tie-down systems. Open transport is the more affordable option and has shorter carrier matching windows than enclosed. The carrier's FMCSA-required cargo insurance covers your vehicle fully on an open carrier."},{q:"Should I choose enclosed transport for my military move?",a:"Enclosed transport is recommended for military moves involving high-value vehicles: luxury cars, sports cars, classic or collector vehicles, or any vehicle where the owner wants maximum protection from weather and road debris. If your vehicle is a daily-driver valued under $30,000 in standard condition, open transport is the appropriate choice. If you're shipping a Corvette, a sports car, or a vehicle with custom paint or modifications, enclosed transport is the better option. Enclosed transport costs 40–80% more than open but provides complete weather and debris protection."},{q:"Can I expedite military car shipping due to short-notice orders?",a:"Yes — expedited military car shipping is available for short-notice PCS orders, deployment urgency, and report-date deadlines. Expedited dispatch prioritizes your shipment in carrier matching and can typically secure a carrier within 24–72 hours of booking confirmation. The expedited premium is typically 20–40% above standard pricing. For true emergency situations (orders received less than 48 hours before departure), call (888) 508-2175 directly rather than using the online form — direct coordination moves faster for urgent military requests."},{q:"Can I ship a motorcycle during a military PCS?",a:"Yes — motorcycle shipping during PCS is available. Military members often have both a car and a motorcycle that need shipping. Motorcycles are transported on specialized motorcycle carriers or on enclosed trailers, depending on the bike and route. Motorcycles are quoted separately from cars. Military-discounted rates apply to motorcycle transport as well. Crate your motorcycle if it's especially sensitive; otherwise, standard motorcycle transport is done with strap and chock systems designed for two-wheeled vehicles."}]},{id:"insurance",label:"Insurance, Families & Claims",faqs:[{q:"Is cargo insurance included with military car shipping?",a:"Yes — all carriers hold FMCSA-required cargo insurance covering your vehicle during transit, whether you're military or civilian. The carrier's insurance covers damage caused during transport, documented via the Bill of Lading. For standard military vehicles (daily-driver cars, SUVs, trucks), the carrier's cargo coverage is typically sufficient. For high-value vehicles being shipped on a military move, confirm the carrier's per-vehicle coverage limit and consider supplemental insurance if the vehicle's value exceeds the coverage cap."},{q:"Can military families and dependents ship vehicles?",a:"Yes — military dependents (spouses, children, and authorized family members) are eligible for military-discounted pricing on vehicle shipments. Military family moves often involve shipping a vehicle separately from the service member — for example, when a spouse drives to the new duty station while the service member travels by different means, or when a family member ships a second vehicle that won't be driven cross-country. Military families can also have vehicles shipped to meet them at the new duty station when the service member is unavailable for pickup or delivery."},{q:"How do I verify my carrier is legitimate?",a:"Your coordinator at EZ Auto Movers provides the carrier's USDOT number and MC number before pickup. You can independently verify the carrier on the FMCSA's online carrier lookup at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov using their MC number — this shows the carrier's registration status, insurance certificate status, and safety rating. This verification step is especially important for military members who may be handing their vehicle to a carrier in their absence and want to confirm the carrier's credentials before the representative releases the vehicle."},{q:"What happens if my vehicle is damaged during military shipping?",a:"If damage is discovered at delivery, document it on the Bill of Lading before signing. Note every condition that was not present at pickup (compare against the pickup BOL and your pre-pickup photographs). Contact EZ Auto Movers immediately. Your vehicle is covered by the carrier's FMCSA-required cargo insurance from pickup to delivery. For military members shipping under PCS orders, the Bill of Lading and damage documentation are also the basis for any claims you may 

1need to submit through military channels."}]},{id:"routes",label:"Popular Military Routes",faqs:[{q:"Can you ship to Alaska or Hawaii for military moves?",a:"Yes — Alaska and Hawaii military installations (JBER, Fort Wainwright, Eielson AFB in Alaska; Schofield Barracks, Pearl Harbor, Hickam/JBPHH, Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Hawaii) are served via the RORO (roll-on/roll-off) vessel process. The vehicle is transported by open or enclosed carrier to a West Coast port (Los Angeles, Oakland, or Tacoma for Alaska; Los Angeles or Oakland for Hawaii), then shipped by vessel. Transit for Hawaii is approximately 14–21 days total; Alaska is similar. Port pickup and delivery on the other end is also coordinated. Call (888) 508-2175 for Alaska and Hawaii military move quotes."},{q:"What are the most common military car shipping routes?",a:"The most common military car shipping corridors reflect the concentration of major installations: Southeast to Southwest (Virginia/North Carolina to Texas or the Southwest); Atlantic Coast (Virginia/North Carolina to Florida or Georgia); East to West Coast (Virginia or Fort Liberty to California or Washington/JBLM); Southern tier (Texas to Florida or Georgia); Pacific Northwest (JBLM in Washington to California or East Coast bases); and all routes to/from Hawaii and Alaska military installations. Routes connecting Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Fort Liberty, Fort Cavazos, Fort Campbell, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, MacDill AFB, Fort Eisenhower, and other major installations are served daily."},{q:"Can OCONUS military moves be supported?",a:"EZ Auto Movers handles domestic US auto transport — including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. For OCONUS assignments (Germany, South Korea, Japan, Italy, or other overseas installations), the US military's Transportation Management Office (TMO) at your installation handles OCONUS vehicle shipping through the government's contracted overseas carriers. EZ Auto Movers can transport your vehicle to a US port city (East Coast for European assignments, West Coast for Pacific assignments) where it enters the overseas shipping process. Coordinate with your TMO for the port location and process specific to your OCONUS orders."}]}];function ye(){return C({title:"Military Car Shipping | PCS Vehicle Transport Nationwide",description:"Military car shipping for PCS moves, deployments, TDY assignments, active-duty members, veterans, and military families.
