PCS Vehicle Transport
Military Car Shipping: PCS Moves Made Simple
Military car shipping is auto transport built around the unique demands of PCS moves, deployments, and base transfers. The average service member relocates every 2-3 years -- and the DoD processes roughly 400,000 PCS moves annually. For CONUS (stateside) moves, the government does not ship your vehicle. That's where we come in.
At Scott's Auto Carrier, we've shipped thousands of vehicles for active duty, reserves, National Guard, and veteran families. Our coordinators understand PCS timelines, short-notice orders, and the flexibility you need when your report date is non-negotiable. Door-to-door pickup and delivery to any base, post, or installation in the continental United States.
Whether you're moving from Fort Liberty to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Camp Pendleton to Camp Lejeune, or any combination of bases -- we handle the vehicle so you can focus on your mission.

Why Ship Instead of Drive?
Government Doesn't Ship Your Car for CONUS Moves
For stateside PCS moves, you're on your own for vehicle transport. Here's why thousands of service members choose private auto transport over driving.
Driving Yourself
- 2-5 days of driving (using PCS leave)
- Gas, hotels, food: $400-$1,200+
- Mileage reimbursement: only ~$0.22/mile
- Wear and tear on your vehicle
- Spouse and kids in the car for 2,000+ miles
- Risk of breakdown on the road
Shipping with Scott's
- Fly to your new base -- vehicle arrives in 3-10 days
- Door-to-door pickup and delivery at any installation
- Save your PCS leave for settling in
- Zero miles added to your vehicle
- Family can fly instead of road-tripping with kids
- $750K+ carrier cargo insurance included
