Patrick AFB Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

Located between the cities of Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach, Florida, is Patrick AFB (Air Force Base).

The Air Force Base is now called a Space Force Base. It is now home to the 45^th Space Wing. The base is also home to the 920^th Rescue Wing. There is about 1300 military personnel, with their dependents, civilians, and contractors. A base is also a census-designated place. It started as a Naval Air Station in World War II and was called Naval Air Station Banana River until 1948 when it was given to the Air Force.

If you are posted to this base, you might be excited to experience a new place. On the other hand, you might also be worried about getting your vehicle to the base. A-1 Auto Transport ships vehicles to military bases and that includes Patrick AFB.

Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area

Patrick AFB is in Florida which is a part of the Continental United States. Most military personnel posted to the base won’t be getting any financial support for shipping their vehicles to the base. They will have to figure that out themselves.

However, there are exceptions. Some officers under specific conditions might get sponsorship to a military base in a CONUS Area. To be sure of your status, visit your transportation officer with your PCS.

Whether the government sponsors you or not, you should begin preparing for shipping your vehicle. Get shipping quotes and use that to draw a budget.

We ship various kinds of vehicles like:

• Motorcycles
• Cars

Military Car Shipping

There is a high chance you will be sponsoring the shipping of your vehicle yourself. This can make the option to drive to the base sound like a good idea. If you do that you might arrive late at the base and be exhausted.

There is no need to take that risk when you can get an auto transport company to ship your vehicle to the base while you take a place and arrive on time.

In addition to contacting a shipping company, you should get acquainted with the rules of Patrick AFB and see if there are specific rules concerning vehicles.

As you prepare, a few documents will be needed for shipping and they include:

• Your military ID
• Your PCS.
• Proof of Ownership for the vehicle you want to ship
• Permit to ship the car if it is a lease.

Preparing your car for Shipment

Getting the car ready for shipping is important and it involves:

• Check all the pockets in the car for your items which you should remove.
• Siphoning the fuel out of the fuel tank or reducing it at most a quarter of the tank's capacity.

Military Motorcycle Shipping

Unless you are getting an exception, the military won’t be paying for the shipping of your motorcycle. You might be considering riding the motorcycle to the base or transporting it yourself in a truck.

On the surface, these ideas might look like things that will cut costs but in reality, the answer is much more complicated. A more reliable way to ship the bike is to hire a motorcycle shipping company.

While combing the details with the motorcycle shipping company, you will need your proof of ownership of the bike and your military ID.

Preparing your motorcycle for Shipment

Getting a bike ready for shipping is quite similar to getting a car ready. That means you will:

• Check all the compartments for your personal effects and remove them.
• Drain the gas in the gas tank. Do not leave more than a quarter of fuel in it.
