PCS-friendly auto transport with discounts for active duty, veterans, and military families. Razorback has shipped vehicles for thousands of service members across every branch and every base.
Military car shipping is auto transport service specifically structured around the unique needs of service members making Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves, returning from deployment, transitioning between duty stations, or relocating for retirement and separation. Military auto transport addresses the realities of military life: short-notice orders, fixed report-to-duty dates, base access logistics, and tight budgets stretched across the cost of an entire family relocation.
Razorback Auto Transport has been a trusted military car shipping provider for over fifteen years, moving vehicles for service members across every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force — and every active duty status, including National Guard and Reserves. We offer a verified 10% military discount, PCS-friendly scheduling, and a deep understanding of how military moves actually work.
Razorback's military auto transport discount applies broadly across the military community:
Verification is simple: a military ID card, VA ID, retiree ID, DD-214, or current orders document is sufficient. We don't ask for paperwork during the quote process — you provide it at booking, and the military discount is applied automatically.
A Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move is the most common scenario for military auto transport. PCS orders typically arrive with 30–90 days of notice, a fixed report-to-duty date at the new station, and a complex set of logistics involving household goods, family travel, and (often) two vehicles. Here's how military car shipping fits into the PCS process:
Beyond standard PCS moves, military auto transport serves several specific use cases:
Service members deploying overseas often need to ship their vehicle to a family member's home for safekeeping or back to their home of record. On return, the process reverses — vehicle ships back to the duty station. Razorback handles both legs.
Service members moving between Outside Continental U.S. (OCONUS) stations and CONUS often need stateside vehicle relocation coordinated with international shipping handled by the military. Razorback handles the CONUS leg — from port-of-entry to final duty station, or from home-of-record to port-of-departure.
Many military families have two vehicles. PCS moves often require shipping one vehicle while the family drives the other. Razorback coordinates single-vehicle shipments around your family's travel plans.
End-of-service transitions involve moving back to a home of record or to a new civilian location. Military discount applies to separation moves as well as active duty PCS moves.
Standard auto transport pricing applies, with the 10% military discount applied to the total. Approximate post-discount pricing for a sedan:
SUVs, trucks, and full-size vans add $100–$300. Enclosed military auto transport is available at premium pricing for high-value vehicles. Razorback provides exact post-discount quotes online or by phone.
DPS / DITY moves: Many service members handle vehicle shipping outside of the Defense Personal Property System (DPS) because civilian auto transport is often faster and more flexible than the government-managed POV (Privately Owned Vehicle) shipping program. Whether you're using DPS or arranging shipping yourself with DITY/PPM reimbursement, Razorback's military discount and PCS expertise apply.
Beyond the 10% discount, several factors make Razorback a trusted choice for military auto transport:

Common questions about military car shipping
Razorback offers a 10% military discount on all auto transport services for active duty service members, veterans, military retirees, National Guard, Reserves, military spouses, and Gold Star families. The discount is verified at booking with a military ID, VA ID, retiree ID, or DD-214.
Yes. Razorback regularly handles base pickups across CONUS, including major installations like Fort Hood, Fort Bragg, Norfolk, Camp Pendleton, Fort Lewis, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, MacDill AFB, and others. Base access requires the carrier to coordinate gate clearance in advance — we handle this logistically, but you'll need to confirm pickup arrangements with your base transportation office.
No. The military discount applies to all auto transport services for verified military community members, regardless of the reason for the move. It includes PCS, deployment, return from deployment, separation, retirement, leave-related moves, and civilian relocations after service.
Both options are valid. DPS (Defense Personal Property System) is the government-managed POV shipping program; civilian auto transport like Razorback is faster, more flexible, and often less expensive after the military discount. Many service members use DITY/PPM reimbursement to recover costs of self-arranged shipping. Talk to your base transportation office to confirm which approach best fits your orders and timeline.
Yes. Military spouses can book on behalf of the service member and qualify for the military discount with the service member's ID information or orders. Family members coordinating moves on behalf of a deployed service member are fully supported — we work directly with the family member as the primary contact.
