Fort Buchanan Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

Fort Buchanan, United States Army Garrison, Puerto Rico is a United States Army installation in Puerto Rico. It is situated in the capital's metropolitan area, San Juan.

It is the Caribbean's and Puerto Rico's only federal military installation. The United States Army Reserve, 1st Mission Support Command, and the Puerto Rico National Guard have their headquarters here. Missions in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America are supported by Fort Buchanan.

Shipping a vehicle may appear to military officers posted to this base with their families to be a huge task that will cost a lot of money, but the good news is that the government will pay for your POV shipping. All you need to do is select a reputable and efficient shipping company, such as A-1 Auto Transport.

Shipping to an OCONUS Base

Because Fort Buchanan is located outside of the continental United States, you are eligible for government sponsorship for the transportation of a single POV. All bills for transporting your vehicle to the base will be paid in full under this sponsorship.

It should be noted, however, that this sponsorship may have backlogs and may require additional documentation to implement. Consult with your transportation officer about the best course of action.

Begin contacting auto transportation companies early if you want your move to be efficient and without hiccups.

List of Personally Owned Vehicles (POV) We Ship

We ship all sorts of vehicles to Fort Buchanan. This includes:

• Cars
• ATVs
• SUVs
• Motorbikes
• Household Goods
• Mopeds

Car Shipping to a Military Base

Because the government will pay for shipping a single vehicle, you should follow the procedure to ensure you receive the benefit. If you're shipping more than one car, you'll have to pay for the second one's transportation. Officers typically ship one car and then purchase a beater second car when they arrive at their new station.

Confirm your eligibility for the sponsorship and take your PCS to your transportation office (TO) counselor to avoid any confusion when shipping your vehicle.

Investigate and confirm the rules for shipping a vehicle to the base. There may be prohibited vehicle types or modifications. Consult with your transportation officer about this.

Make duplicates of the following documents, which you will need to process your government sponsorship and shipping arrangements:

• Permanent change of station document issued by the government
• Proof of ownership of the vehicle to be shipped

Preparations for Car Shipping

Your car will require some minor preparations before embarking on the long journey. You will need to:

• Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank until it is empty, or at most a quarter of the tank's capacity.
• Repair any cracks in the windshield because changing temperatures may cause the crack to widen or the glass to shatter.

Shipping a Motorcycle to a Military Base

The rules for shipping a motorcycle are the same as the rules for shipping a car. If you want the government to sponsor your bike, you must document it as yours or show proof that you have permission to ship it.

The government will not pay for shipping a bike as a second vehicle. The government will only pay for one vehicle. This is something to keep in mind as you plan your station change.

In any case, proof of ownership or permission to export the bike from the owner will be required at various points throughout the shipping process.

How To Prepare Your Motorcycle For Shipping

Simply prepare the bike by performing the following steps:

• Before dropping the bike off for shipping, repair leaking tires and reduce tire pressure.
• Hire a mechanic to repair any mechanical flaws in the bike.
