How does military PCS vehicle shipping work?
Military PCS vehicle shipping is entitled to certain members assigned to a new duty station. Only one privately owned vehicle (POV) may be shipped at government expense, according to the Department of Defense. Alternate port requests must get approval from the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC).
Does the military ship your car for free?
The military may ship your car for free if you’re an a) active member of the military and b) have received permanent change of station (PCS) orders. The government only pays for one privately owned vehicle (POV) to be shipped, according to the Department of Defense.
