Military Discount Shipping Quotes

As a token of our appreciation for everything the military does for the citizens of the United States, we at CalCruising are happy to announce that many of our carriers offer a military discount for current members of the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps or the Coast Guard.

So, if you have recently received new orders and have to relocate to a new state –or a different country entirely– get your automobile shipping quotes online with us. And, when you contact us directly to make reservations for your vehicle’s spot with a car transport company, remember to tell the agent that you are a service member to get that military deal.

We understand the difficulties associated with moving, and also know that many service members have to move every few years. That being the case, you soldiers, sailors, and airmen should not have to be unnecessarily burdened while relocating a car, SUV, truck, motorcycle, or van for a long distance move. CalCruising knows that you are already tying up loose ends at work, packing all personal belongings, and saying goodbye to old friends.

Also, if you are being relocated somewhere that is particularly far from wherever you are currently stationed, there is a pretty good chance that you can have the costs completely covered by the government. However, you will have to be proactive about having the payment taken care of and visit the relocation assistance (or similar) office, which every base or duty station should have.

In case you find yourself in a situation where your branch will not pay for hauling your vehicle to your new location, it is recommended that you reserve a spot with a carrier as soon as you get your new orders in. This will ensure that your vehicle will be moved according to your schedule. Likewise, by ordering car shipping services as early as possible, you will end up saving some money should the relocation assistance office not pay.

If you already know that your branch will not be paying for the costs of auto transporting services, there are a few more options you can take to save even more money when relocating your vehicle. Instead of using door-to-door shipping, you should go with terminal-to-terminal delivery. Also, since enclosed shipment services run about 60% more expensive than open truck hauling, make sure to inform the agent you communicate with that you would prefer open over enclosed.
