What Is Military Car Shipping?

Military car shipping is auto transport coordinated around the realities of service: PCS orders that change with little warning, base access rules, deployment timelines, and the fact that you cannot always be there to hand off the keys. It includes CONUS base-to-base moves, port handoff for OCONUS shipments to Hawaii [VERIFY: whether ABC handles OCONUS port handoff for Alaska, Germany, Japan], and post-deployment vehicle retrieval.

At ABC Auto Shipping, we honor active-duty and retired military with an 8% discount on auto transport, and disabled veterans with a 10% discount. We coordinate base pickup access, gate passes, and PCS-flexible scheduling. You get transparent pricing, full cargo and liability coverage, and a dedicated coordinator from quote to delivery, anywhere in the country.

FAQs

How much is the military car shipping discount?

Active-duty and retired military qualify for 8% off auto transport. Disabled veterans qualify for 10%. Single parents qualify for 5%, and military families shipping multiple vehicles can stack a multi-vehicle discount on top. Tell your coordinator your status when requesting a quote so the right discount is applied before you accept the price.

Yes, in most cases. Many of our carriers can access military installations with a valid gate pass or escort. For bases with restricted commercial vehicle access, we meet at the gate or at a base-approved alternate location nearby. Your coordinator confirms the pickup point with you in advance.

If your installation requires a gate pass for commercial vehicles, you (or your spouse) will need to arrange one through your unit or the visitor center. Your coordinator will tell you exactly what the carrier needs (driver name, truck plate, trailer plate, MC number, and ETA) so the gate pass goes smoothly.

We recommend booking 7 to 30 days in advance for the best carrier availability and rates. PCS season (May through August) is the busiest period, so the earlier you lock in your pickup window, the better. Last-minute PCS bookings are possible; expedited service is available if you need pickup in 24 to 72 hours.

Yes. We coordinate land transport to a West Coast port (typically Long Beach or Oakland) and handoff to an ocean carrier for the Hawaii leg. Alaska auto transport is not currently available. For overseas duty stations beyond Hawaii, your coordinator can refer you to alternate options.

Yes. We routinely coordinate pickup with spouses, family members, friends, or unit POCs while the service member is deployed or already at the new base. Your designated representative must be 18 or older and present a photo ID at pickup to sign the Bill of Lading.

Yes. Both retired military and disabled veterans qualify. Retirees get the same 8% discount as active duty, and disabled veterans get 10%. Verification is handled discreetly by your coordinator with a DD-214, retiree ID, or VA disability documentation, before booking confirmation.

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers for the deposit and balance [VERIFY: payment method specifics]. Some military families prefer to split the deposit and balance between cards. Talk to your coordinator about payment options that fit your PCS budget.

PCS orders shift, and we know it. Notify your coordinator as soon as your dates or destination change. We will reschedule pickup, reroute the carrier, or in some cases refund the $100 deposit if the move is canceled outright. Honesty over fine-print penalties.

We honor service with discounted rates (8% active and retired, 10% disabled veterans), PCS-friendly scheduling, and full insurance. With a 4.9-star rating and 50,000+ vehicles shipped including bases nationwide, we are a trusted choice for service members and families. Call 877-686-5611 today.
