What is military
PCS vehicle shipping?

Eligibility: Military PCS vehicle shipping is available to certain members of the military who are required to relocate to a new duty station as part of their official orders.
Privately Owned Vehicle (POV): The service generally covers the shipment of one privately owned vehicle (POV) per service member. This can include cars, motorcycles, and in some cases, boats or trailers.
Government Expense: The cost of shipping the POV is typically covered by the government, meaning the service member does not have to pay for the
transportation of their vehicle out of pocket.
Department of Defense (DoD) Regulations: The shipment process must adhere to Department of Defense regulations and guidelines. These regulations dictate the eligibility criteria, the type of vehicles that can be shipped, and the documentation required.
Approval Process: Before shipping a POV, service members must obtain approval from their commanding officer and complete the necessary paperwork. In some cases, they may also need to obtain approval from the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) for certain requests, such as shipping to an alternate port.
Vehicle Preparation: The service member is typically responsible for preparing their vehicle for shipping. This may include ensuring it meets safety standards, removing personal items, and complying with any specific guidelines provided by the shipping company.
Shipping Company: The government contracts with shipping companies to handle the transportation of vehicles. These companies are experienced in military PCS vehicle shipping and follow strict protocols to ensure the safe and timely delivery of the POV.
Delivery to New Duty Station: Once the vehicle arrives at the new duty station, the service member can typically pick it up at a designated location or have it delivered to their new address.

It’s important for military personnel to consult their specific branch’s regulations and guidelines for PCS vehicle shipping, as procedures and eligibility criteria may vary.

Proper planning and adherence to regulations are crucial to ensuring a smooth and hassle-free relocation process for service members and their vehicles.

Yes, the military may ship your car for free if you meet certain criteria

Active Member of the Military: You must be an active-duty member of the military to be eligible for free car shipping.
Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Orders: You must have received official PCS orders that require you to relocate to a new duty station. This relocation should be a result of your military service.
One Privately Owned Vehicle (POV): The government typically covers the cost of shipping only one privately owned vehicle (POV) per service member. This includes cars, motorcycles, and, in some cases, boats or trailers.

It’s important to note that the specific rules and regulations governing military POV shipping may vary between branches of the military, so it’s advisable to consult your branch’s guidelines and regulations for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding free car shipping for military personnel. Proper documentation and compliance with military regulations are typically required to take advantage of this benefit.
