Additional POV Planning
A military family may have more vehicles than the government POV entitlement covers. The key is to separate the officially authorized vehicle from any additional privately arranged shipment so the timing, cost, port requirements and paperwork are not mixed together.
Get a Current QuoteBefore requesting private transport, decide which vehicle is being handled under the official entitlement, if any, and which vehicle is being moved privately. Keep the documents, pickup contacts and deadlines separate.
Military OneSource states that members moving within the 48 contiguous states may drive their vehicle or pay to ship one or more POVs at their own expense. If an exception, reimbursement question or inability to drive affects the official move, contact the transportation office before assuming the private invoice is covered.
For OCONUS-related PCS moves, one eligible POV may generally be shipped at government expense. Military OneSource specifically directs members who want to make their own arrangements to ship more than one POV to contact the local transportation office. The private second-vehicle plan should not interfere with the official VPC appointment or documentation for the entitled POV.
Treating every vehicle as if it shares one pickup and delivery process is a common planning mistake.
Military OneSource generally describes one POV at government expense, with exceptions handled through the transportation office. If you want to ship more than one, contact that office before making assumptions.
Phoenix can coordinate a privately arranged shipment when the route and vehicle are within the available service model. That private shipment is separate from the government POV entitlement.
Not necessarily. The government VPC process, private carrier availability, family travel and destination access may create different useful dates for each vehicle.
