i haven't done it yet however am traveling from NJ to Ca and have received several quotes. it'll be around 900-1000 for the service on a honda civic. go under finance on military.com and you can request qoutes!!
i've done a little more research and found a page of reviews for auto shipping! http://www.transportreviews.com/company/reliable-auto-movers-inc.asp out of the quotes i received this looks like the best company. Very competitive prices also!!! This message has been edited. Last edited by: 12631440, |

also a tid bit of info: the CG will reimburse part of the cost associated with shipping a second car.
it is in the JFTR and what they do it pay you the malt and perdiem in the amount for seperate travel. you can get from 400 and up depending on distance and number of authorised dependants. |

I am not sure where you found that the CG will help pay for the shipping of the second car. You are only authorized for shipping one car. The second car is on your dime. As far as shipping one car from NJ to CA the only reimbursement you will get is what it would of cost the govt to pay for what it would of cost you to drive 2 povs.(per diem/malt). Which it has to be a special case because shipping within conus to conus is not authorized. (it must be approved and not by the AO) I have seen many travel claims kicked backed for this and members losing money and members mad at their AO's saying that they are authorized when they are not. Please read in the JFTR Chater 5 under U5415 that will tell you if you are eligible to ship within the the conus points. Also U5417 will help.

There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch |
Anyone shipping a car needs to decide whether they want the car shipped IN a truck, or ON a truck. If you want the car shipped in an enclosed trailer it will typically cost quite a bit more then if it is shipped on the open car haulers. Enclosed does mean the car is protected from theft and damage, but it does cost considerably more.
Also, before your car is loaded take lots of pictures. Use a digital camera that will show a date stamp. Take at least 3 of each side, plus one front and one rear. Make them close enough to show the exact condition of the vehicle. Some of the outfits that transport cars have pretty poor reputations and will deny claims against them for any damage that occurs during shipping. |

As you pointed out you can ship a car inconus and the government will pick up a portion of the cost. People need to review JFTR U5417 and talk with the servicing SPO. You may have to explain the entitlement to the SPO but it is there. All you need to have is a dependent. Please remember that the government only picks up a portion of the cost not the entire cost. Basically they will reimburse the difference between taking 2 cars and traveling separately as opposed to taking one car and traveling together. |

Just make sure you do your homework on the companys. You can find websites with good info in the form of comments left by other people. I shipped a dodge neon on open carrier from Virginia beach to San Antonio with no problems. Pick-up and delivery was right on. Sorry I can't remember the name of the company that I used.

hmmm.. I said they will pay you the difference. you are the one mistaken-- it is the YN's that do not know about the rule;; this rule was changed WAY back in 04 and in the JFTR it even tells the YN's how to figure the reimbursement.. I never said they would pay-- I said they would give the difference for seperate travel equally per diem and malt.. MORE AND MORE folks should use it and need to know that it is there to use. and in the last yr of the several people I personally know to have been reimbursed had no trouble whats so ever. and from what they say that 4-600 dollars sure helps... |

it is in chapter 5 part e1-- you will have to scroll about 1/2 down-
I would post it but the graghs get all screwy: look for this change: and date and paragragh number: Change 252 U5E1-6 12/1/07 right after it is a set of boxes with per diem malt and total on the top-- this explains how they are suppose to figure the reimbursements. and yes,,,, please make it your personal mission to tell AD members what thier entitlements are!! we have been so lucky with all our YN's and the TMO offices;; but then again I am not afraid of the JFTR LOL and will go looking until I find what I need. Also one more thing  please do the paperwork so the member can get the DLA at 100% and the per diem and Malt at 80%-- it really only takes a few minutes more and it will help so many people!!! Alot of YN's are grouping these together. |

here you go
http://perdiem.hqda.pentagon.mil/perdiem/faqpov2pds.html Don't we have this discussion every year? Don't forget all you need is to have a dependent that dependent does not have to have a drivers license. |

hey !! thnaks for that I did not know that existed--- that is so much better than trying to tell someone how to find it in the JFTR!!!
YOU rock dude  |

Alright here is what I come up with...it is not really an entitlement. You just have the option. All you can get reimbursed is what is would of cost you (malt only) to drive the POV. Example: you drive 2500 miles at $.19 and you pay a private company to take your vehicle $1100, the only money you are getting back is $475. You are still paying $625 out of your pocket. which for me, I would not want to pay out of my pocket. And also I hope you are not bashing YN's. I am pretty comfortable with using the JFTR and knowing my job as a YN. (entitlement wise as far as 100% DLA and 80% per diem..you want TLA or TLE computed too why I am at it? pretty good at computations too) |

ok_-- no I was not bashing YN's at all-- I just know some that do not do thier jobs....
second-- you ARE wrong-- the reimbursement is as follows: you will get the MALT at 19 cents PLUS the difference betweeen traveling together and concurrent travel for per diem- because when you concurrent travel the Spouse gets 100% of the per diem instead of 75, and then each dependant gets 75% instead of 50 ( under 12). so in the diagram in the link it even states it that way. it is not a huge amount of money but by far helps in the cost. please try to get the facts straight- or at least admit when your wrong.. |

Alright-I am wrong, does that make you feel better? I did not add the per diem and malt part. I don't have a chip on my shoulder. I just hate when people try to tell us how to be YN's. (Which I do admit there are crapping ones but they will learn..but not all of us are.)

I have a question:
What if I am shipping my second car on my own dime and I am shipping if from Hawaii? The Govt is shipping one of my vehicles and I am paying approximately $1100 out of pocket expense to ship my other vehicle. I will be transferring to Yorktown. Can I recoup any of that out of pocker $1100 for the shipment of my second auto? On a side note, this is an awesome discussion!! |
