How to Ship a Car During a PCS: Costs, Tips, and Options

MIL-Estate Network is 100% Veteran or Military Spouse Realtors. We have over 170 agents nationwide so we can help you anywhere!

When PCS orders arrive, there’s more to think about than just your household goods. For many military families, figuring out what to do with their vehicles is a top priority. Whether you’re moving across the country or overseas, shipping a car can feel overwhelming—but with the right preparation, it doesn’t have to be.

Understand Your Options

Military families generally have three main choices when it comes to vehicles during a PCS move:

Drive it yourself: Great for cross-country moves, though it can add travel stress and mileage to your car.

Ship through the military: In some cases, the military will cover one vehicle shipment overseas. Check your orders and entitlements to confirm.

Hire a private shipping company: This can be the most convenient choice, especially for stateside PCS moves when you have multiple vehicles.

Know the Costs
Shipping costs can vary depending on distance, company, and method. Open-carrier transport is usually less expensive, while enclosed shipping offers more protection but at a higher price. Expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1,500 for stateside moves, and more if you’re heading overseas.

Tips for a Smooth Shipment
Book early: Spots fill quickly around PCS season, so secure a transporter as soon as possible.

Prep your car: Remove personal belongings, document the vehicle’s condition, and make sure it has minimal gas in the tank.

Verify insurance: Confirm what coverage the company provides and whether you need supplemental insurance.

Shipping your car during a PCS doesn’t have to add to your stress. With careful planning and an understanding of your entitlements and costs, you can make the process seamless for your family.

Troop Tuesday: September 11th – Honoring the Day That Changed Everything

On the days leading up to September 11, we remember. We honor the lives lost. And we reflect on the sacrifices made by so many in the days, months, and years that followed. 🇺🇸

For many of us in the military community, 9/11 wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a call to serve.

From first responders to troops, from Gold Star families to military kids who grew up with parents deployed, this day lives in our hearts.
Take a moment today to thank someone who serves—or has served—because freedom was never free.

Troop Tuesday: Why Fall Is a Great Time to Buy for Military Families
Fall isn’t just for pumpkin spice—it’s one of the BEST times for military families to buy a home. 🍁📦

🏡 Inventory tends to linger, which means motivated sellers
💰 You may find better negotiation opportunities than in spring or summer
📚 School has already started, so neighborhoods are calmer and more settled
📅 You can often close before the holidays and settle in for the season
If your PCS timeline has you arriving this fall, don’t stress—it might be perfect timing.

Troop Tuesday: How to Transfer School Records Smoothly During a PCS

A new base often means a new school—and that transition can be tough without the right prep. 📑✏️ Military parents, here’s your PCS checklist for school records:

✅ Contact your current school early and request transcripts, IEP/504 plans, testing info, and health/immunization records
✅ Scan and upload everything to a digital folder you can access on the road
✅ Research the school requirements in your new state—some have different testing or curriculum
✅ Reach out to the new school’s registrar before arrival to get ahead of enrollment deadlines

A smooth school transfer means your child can start strong in their new environment—and we’re here to help with the housing side so you can focus on family. 🎒🏡
