What does Military move mean?

This service is designed for military personnel, both active and retired. Given the nature of duty, you might have to face sudden permanent change-of-station (PCS) orders, mandating a move to a new base.

That's where professional truck companies come in, aiming to make sure your vehicle is shipped smoothly. Navi is proficient in managing the unique requirements and tight schedules typically associated with military moving services.

The carrier is tasked with picking up and delivering your vehicle as close to your specified location as possible. Active military personnel with PCS orders can usually benefit from discounts. Moreover, if you're transporting only one vehicle, you may be eligible for reimbursement from the government. Alongside these benefits, Navi provides a door-to-door option.

How Does Military Shipping Work?

Military move works the same way as standard service and it's for active military members only. The Government may cover the cost of one privately owned vehicle (POV) shipment when it's a PCS order.

However if you want to ship more than one car, those costs would be your responsibility.

Does a Military Discount Exist for Car Shipping?

Yes, there is a military discount to ship a car but only for active and retired members of the military. When you contact a car shipping company ask about a military discount. Depending on current market conditions and the total distance of the transport, this discount could be up to 10%.

What are the different types of military moves?

Military personnel have several moving options available when they receive their PCS orders. One option is a Government Managed Move, where the government arranges for professional movers on your behalf. Another choice is a Personally Procured Move (PPM) or DITY (do-it-yourself) move, which can be either self-move or assisted.
