United States Army Garrison Italy Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

United States Army Garrison Italy is a United States military installation in Vicenza, Italy.

The garrison is under Italian military control. The garrison is home to service members of the army, their families, civilians, retirees, and a few airmen and sailors. The garrison serves as the headquarters of the United States Army Africa and oversees the maintenance of military installations under its command. The garrison also provides health services.

Military personnel posted to the garrison have the opportunity to bring their families with them if they choose. There is a lot of social life to be experienced at the garrison. So, if you are thinking of taking your vehicle with you, know that it is possible. A-1 Auto Transport ships vehicles to the location.

Shipping to a Base in the OCONUS Area

United States Army Garrison Italy is in Vicenza, Italy. This means that it is outside the continent of the United States. The military policy for postings to such locations is that the government sponsors the shipping of officers’ POVs.

While this is a policy, it is one that you will have to process to benefit from. So, discuss the process of getting the sponsorship with your transportation officer.

You can, in the meantime, be getting shipping quotes from third-party auto transport companies, like us. This will help you draw up a realistic budget.

Military Car Shipping

The base you are shipping to isn’t on the continent of the United States and that means that you are entitled to a form of sponsorship for shipping your vehicle. While this is the case, you will have to plan the shipping properly.

It is possible to use the military movers to ship your car but a better option will be to hire a third-party shipping company. You will get a smoother experience and will be able to request special services.

Like most military installations, USAG Italy will have rules surrounding the type of vehicle that is allowed onto the base. For example, the garrison won’t allow cars with propellants to the base. Get to know these rules so you can follow them.

Documentation is important but quite simple. In most cases you will need:

• Proof that you own the car to be shipped.
• PCS
• Military ID
• Permit to ship a leased vehicle

Preparing your car for Shipment

Preparing your car will make the shipping experience better. To get it ready:

• Check the pressure in the tires and ensure they are optimal.
• Check the engine bay for any fluid leaks. If there are, get them fixed before shipping.

Military Motorcycle Shipping

You are entitled to shipping a vehicle under the sponsorship of the government and that includes motorcycles.

This will apply to situations where the motorbike is the only vehicle you are shipping. If you want to ship a car and a bike, then the military will pay for only one. You will have to handle the other one yourself.

For shipping, you will have to submit a few documents. They include proof of ownership, military ID, and permit to ship a bike that has been leased.

Preparing your motorcycle for Shipment

• Disconnect the battery of the bike or remove it totally to preserve battery health.
• Wash the motorbike thoroughly and dry with a cloth.
