PCS orders in hand? Ship your POV — skip the cross-country drive.

You're relocating on orders — your car doesn't have to make the drive. Tell us where your POV is now and which duty station it's headed to: Fort Liberty to Fort Cavazos, JBLM to Fort Bliss, coast to coast. You'll see your estimated range in about 30 seconds, then a PCS shipping specialist confirms your options around your report date — no obligation, and nothing to pay to see your range.

  • Door-to-door delivery — picked up and dropped off as close to your addresses as safely possible.
  • Licensed & insured carrier network — every carrier is verified before your car is assigned.
  • Free estimate — nothing to pay to see your range. When you're ready to book, a reservation fee locks your spot, credited toward your final price.
PCS season runs May through August — and it fills up. Honest timing: at peak, carriers book out weeks ahead, so a request in hand 3–4 weeks before your report date gets the widest choice of pickup windows. Report date immovable? Tell your specialist — the pickup window is planned around it, not the other way around.

How it works

Three steps between you and your report date

No driving your POV 2,000 miles on your own leave days. No borrowing a trailer. No squeezing the car into a household-goods move it doesn't fit. Here's the whole process:

1

See your range

Share your route, vehicle and date above. Your estimated range appears instantly, priced for the open or enclosed transport you selected.

2

Confirm with a specialist

A PCS shipping specialist contacts you within 15 minutes in business hours to lock in your exact quote, carrier and a pickup window built around your report date. No pressure, no obligation.

3

We drive, you report

Your carrier picks up at your door — or meets you near the gate if that's easier — keeps you updated on the road, and delivers at your new duty station area. You inspect the car together at drop-off — done.

PCS season calendar

When PCS routes are busiest

Most PCS moves land between May and August, and carrier capacity follows the same curve every year. Requesting a little ahead of the rush usually means a better pickup-window choice — here's the rhythm of the season:

Jan – FebQuiet season — widest choice of pickup dates
Mar – AprOrders arrive — demand builds fast, request early
May – AugPeak PCS season — carriers fill first; request 3–4 weeks out
Sep – OctStill busy — the peak winds down, capacity easing
NovHoliday moves — fewer departures, request ahead
DecSlower season — flexible timing for off-cycle moves

Where to next?

Delivery at duty stations nationwide

Carriers run PCS lanes between major posts every week, all season long. These are the duty-station areas service members ask for most:

Fort Liberty & Fayetteville, NC

One of the Army's largest posts — Fayetteville, Spring Lake and the surrounding communities, with constant PCS traffic in both directions all season.

  • Best for: Army PCS moves, airborne & special-operations families
  • Top connections: Fort Cavazos, Fort Campbell, Fort Stewart

Texas posts — Cavazos, Bliss, Sam Houston

Killeen and Fort Cavazos, El Paso and Fort Bliss, San Antonio and Fort Sam Houston — Texas sends and receives more PCS vehicles than almost anywhere in the country.

  • Best for: Army & joint-base moves
  • Top connections: JBLM, Fort Liberty, Fort Riley

West Coast — JBLM, Pendleton, San Diego

Tacoma and JBLM in the Northwest; Camp Pendleton and the San Diego naval installations in the south — steady two-way traffic all season long.

  • Best for: Army, Marine & Navy moves
  • Top connections: Fort Bliss, Norfolk, Fort Sam Houston

East & South — Stewart, Campbell, Drum

Fort Stewart and Hinesville, Fort Campbell on the Kentucky line, Fort Drum in New York's North Country — plus Norfolk's naval stations a short hop away.

  • Best for: East-coast rotations
  • Top connections: Fort Carson, Fort Cavazos, San Diego

Open vs. enclosed

Choose how your car travels

Both are door-to-door and fully insured. The right choice depends on your car — and whichever you select in the form is exactly what your estimate is priced for.

Most popular

Open transport

Your car rides on an open multi-car carrier — the same method dealerships use to move new cars across the country.

  • Best value on every PCS route
  • Fastest scheduling — most carriers run open
  • Right for everyday cars, SUVs and trucks
Maximum protection

Enclosed transport

Your car travels inside a fully covered trailer, shielded from weather, road debris and dust from pickup to delivery.

  • Built for classic, luxury & collector cars
  • Soft straps and lift-gate loading on most trailers
  • Priced higher — reflected in your estimate when selected

Questions, answered

PCS car shipping FAQ

The things service members ask before they ship a POV on orders.

How is my estimated range calculated?

From your route distance, vehicle size and type, your pickup timing, and whether you chose open or enclosed transport. Your range appears on screen as soon as you submit your details, and your specialist confirms the exact quote when a carrier is matched to your dates.

When do I actually pay?

Your estimate is free, and nothing is charged on this page. When you've accepted a confirmed quote and you're ready to book, you can lock in your spot with a reservation fee, arranged with your specialist on the confirmation call — they walk you through it before anything is charged. The fee is credited toward your final price; nothing else is due until your carrier is assigned and confirmed.

How does the PCS50 discount work?

Tap any offer on this page — or submit while the offer is showing — and a "Promised $50 discount" is recorded on your request with code PCS50. Your specialist applies the $50 to your final confirmed quote. It never changes the estimated range you see, and there are no mileage or vehicle conditions attached.

My report date is fixed — how do we time this?

Tell us your report date first, and the pickup window is planned backwards from it. As a rule of thumb, requesting 3–4 weeks ahead in peak PCS season gives the widest choice of pickup dates; once a carrier is rolling, transit runs roughly 1–2 days per 500 miles. Your specialist confirms the window before anything is booked — if a carrier can't meet your dates, you'll know before you commit, not after.

Can I put things in the car?

Most carriers allow a modest amount of personal items in the trunk (commonly up to about 100 lbs). Keep valuables, documents and fragile items with you, and confirm the exact allowance with your specialist when you book.

Is my car insured during transport?

Yes — carriers in the network carry cargo insurance, and the carrier's coverage applies while your vehicle is in transit. Your specialist confirms the carrier's details with you before pickup, and you inspect the car together at both ends.

Can the carrier pick up or deliver on base?

Usually the carrier meets you just outside the gate, or at a nearby address you choose — many posts restrict commercial carrier access, and gate lines make scheduling unreliable. Your specialist confirms the exact meeting point with you before pickup day, so there's no guessing at the gate.

What if my plans change after I submit?

Nothing is locked in by requesting an estimate. If your dates or destination change, just tell your specialist when they contact you — your quote is simply recalculated for the new plan.

Your POV could beat you to your new duty station.

Thirty seconds of form, one quick confirmation call, and the cross-country drive is someone else's job.
