PCS (Permanent Change of Station) Moves

PCS orders often come with limited notice and hard reporting deadlines. Our priority dispatch gets your vehicle picked up quickly.

How it works:

1. Provide your orders and destination base when booking
2. We prioritize dispatch and assign a vetted carrier
3. We coordinate with base access requirements
4. Vehicle delivered to base housing or a nearby accessible location

Real-life example

Staff Sergeant Martinez was reassigned from Fort Hood, TX, to Fort Stewart, GA, with just three weeks’ notice. With his family flying out early, he didn’t have time for a 1,000-mile drive in his 2021 Dodge Durango. He booked military PCS car shipping with Web Auto Transport, gave us his commanding officer’s contact as the pickup rep, and flew out stress-free. The carrier delivered the vehicle directly to base housing 4 days later, right on time for in-processing.

Military life moves fast. With flexible scheduling, discounted rates, and door-to-door car shipping for PCS moves, we help you focus on the mission, while we handle the miles. 🇺🇸

Base Access: What to Expect

Scenario 1: Carrier can enter the base

Some bases issue temporary visitor passes for carriers after security verification. We coordinate this in advance.

Scenario 2: Off-base handoff

If the carrier cannot access the base, we arrange delivery just outside the main gate. This is common and equally effective.

Let us know which base you're shipping to/from and we'll confirm the approach before pickup.

Tips for Military Shipments

• Book as early as possible, even 5-7 days notice is workable with expedited service
• Provide the base name and city/state when booking
• Designate an authorized representative if you'll be at the new station before your car arrives
• Power of Attorney (POA): helpful if a family member is handling the vehicle during deployment

OCONUS Moves

Web Auto Transport handles domestic 48-state shipments. For OCONUS moves (Hawaii, Germany, Japan, Korea), coordinate with your base TMO. We can deliver your vehicle to any U.S. port for the overseas handoff.
