Information about Military Vehicle Transport by Plane

UncategorizedWith 0 comments

Transporting a military vehicle by plane is the most expensive way to ship a vehicle, but the military is always given a break on the price. Transporting a vehicle by plane is the quickest and most secure way to get the job done. If shipping a military vehicle is something you have planned for the future, consider hiring a professional auto shipping company.

Shipping vehicles by plane is not the most common way to transport vehicles, but it definitely offers the most convenience. Air transport is highly recommended for individuals who will be stationed inside of a landlocked country. The rules and regulations for shipping a military vehicle overseas are much different than transporting them within the country (e.g. Portsmouth).

 

Hiring the Right Company

When looking for a professional auto shipping company, there are a few things you will want to be on the lookout for. Reputable companies offer affordable service for all branches of the military. A legitimate company will also have a large fleet of auto carriers.

They will also offer full-coverage for the cargo they carry. Make sure the company you have an interest in has a website and customer reviews available on their site. Also, most reputable auto transport companies operate year round.

 

How Air Transport Works

After a brief inspection your military vehicle will be loaded onto the aircraft. Once it is on the aircraft it will be secured tightly for the duration of the trip. You must make sure that the vehicle has any leaks repaired so it does not damage other cargo onboard the carrier.

You must remove all personal possessions from the vehicle including from inside the trunk. The transport company will not be able to insure items left inside of the vehicle. Depending on the delivery option, your vehicle will either arrive at a port or to your street address.
