Military Car Shipping with RunBuggyOne

We know you’re looking forward to seeing your car again after a long PCS move. The time it takes to get to its destination will vary based on how far it’s going, how many other cars need to be picked up after yours (if any), weather conditions, traffic, etc. You can learn more about the process on our car shipping timing page.

For security reasons, commercial transport trucks are typically not allowed onto military installations without a sponsor or specialized passes. In most cases, the driver will coordinate with you to meet at the base Visitor Center, a large parking lot just outside the gates, or your off-base housing to safely load or unload the vehicle.

When your car arrives, RunBuggyOne will automatically deduct payment from the payment method you provided when you placed your order. NEVER PAY THE DRIVER. The driver should not ask you for payment. If the driver is demanding payment or proof of payment, please contact us so we can resolve this for you.

Accidents, unfortunately, happen. If your car is damaged in any way when it is delivered, contact us immediately. Damage to your vehicle must be reported within 24 hours of delivery. We recommend you take multiple pictures of the damage and note the damage on the Bill of Lading before you sign it.

We do not recommend you place personal items (uniforms, TA-50 gear, luggage, etc.) in the trunk or inside the car before it’s transported for a few reasons. Personal items are typically not covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance, so the driver may ask that you remove personal items of value.

• If your car is being transported in an open car carrier, your personal items could be at risk of being stolen while in transit.
• Lastly, personal items add weight to the car, which may exceed what the transporter is able to carry. If, for any reason, you need to pack personal items inside the vehicle, it must not exceed 100 lbs. and should be in the trunk or back seats below the window line where someone can’t see them. If you have any more questions about this, please contact us.

You can place your order up to 30 days in advance to lock in your rate. We highly recommend booking 2 to 4 weeks before your desired pickup date, especially during the busy summer PCS season. It generally takes 3-5 days for us to find a driver once the order is active.

The total car shipping cost depends on a few things: how many miles it needs to be transported, whether you want an open or enclosed carrier to transport your car, whether your car runs or not, and whether there have been any modifications done on the vehicle (like a lifted truck) that would make it oversized or overweight. RunBuggyOne provides upfront, transparent, and no-haggle pricing, so the price you see is the price you pay.
